This is our best look yet at Mercedes-AMG’s new flagship super-saloon, which is shaping up to be long, low and very menacing. Sadly, though, it won’t be packing a thunderous V8 or V12 engine, but will be all-electric car.
The as-yet-unnamed Porsche Taycan rival is slated to be revealed in June, but before then these latest teaser images reveal a few new styling details, such as the three pointed-star motif in the headlights and surprisingly small circular tail-lights. We can also see the enormous and elaborate spoked wheels, which owners are going to be terrified about kerbing.
Despite the heavy camouflage, we can decipher the outline of AMG’s signature Panamericana grille that will stretch across the face of the car and will, of course, have a large three-pointed star badge in the centre.
Despite the lack of an internal-combustion engine under the bonnet, and being based on a bespoke EV platform, AMG has still given its new flagship an incredibly long bonnet and generous overhangs. It’s a more traditional front-end design than the Mercedes EQS and EQE electric saloons, which have much shorter and less distinctive bonnets.
The rakish windscreen behind flows into a svelte, coupé-esque profile, with a pronounced shoulder line towards the rear to emphasise the AMG’s athletic prowess. The tail, meanwhile, appears to feature a Kamm-style design, ditching the more rounded rear that’s been a staple of Merc’s design language since the early 2000s.
