Schiebe laid it out straight: the GT two-door is mainly a second car for driving lovers. If an electric version arrives, it needs to hit that same emotional chord. But AMG isn’t locking in a timeline. They’re watching the market closely. If electric performance demand spikes, the program could speed up.
The truth is, AMG knows how to make an electric supercar. They built a limited-run electric AMG SLS that set an EV Nürburgring lap record. Still, that car was more of a halo showpiece than a volume seller. This time around, AMG wants to be smart about investments and priorities.
For now, their combustion two-door GT is thriving, so AMG will keep investing in it. Electric might cut in later. Schiebe said success for AMG means balancing tech, performance, and economics. A two-door electric GT could become a halo car regardless of profits—a symbol for the brand.
If it happens, this electric GT would take on the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore, the only EV super coupé on the market. Meanwhile, traditional rivals like the Porsche 911, Aston Martin Vantage, and Ferrari Amalfi stick to combustion for now.
In short, AMG’s electric two-door GT is a question mark wrapped in potential hype. It might carve out a new niche or stay an idea on the back burner. Either way, AMG’s watching and waiting before making its next bold move.
