Mercedes has presented its new electric AMG GT with a battery that promises to revolutionize sports mobility. It uses ultra-thin cylindrical cells one inch in diameter, cooled with non-conductive oil inherited from Formula 1. This technology offers four times more cooling capacity than a standard EQS battery, a significant advancement for maintaining performance on the track.
800-volt architecture and ultra-fast charging ⚡
The technical basis of the AMG GT is its 800-volt system, which supports a charging power of up to 600 kilowatts. This allows going from 10 to 80 percent battery in just 11 minutes, a time that competes with any current electric vehicle. The ultra-thin cells not only optimize space but also facilitate more efficient thermal dissipation, key to maintaining power during intense driving sessions.
1,600 sound files to mourn gasoline 🔊
For purists of the V8 roar, Mercedes has included more than 1,600 simulated sound files of the AMG GT R. Exhaust notes and virtual gear shifts attempt to deceive the ear, even though the accelerator feel remains silent. An ingenious solution for those who miss the smell of fuel but do not want to give up the speed of an electric vehicle.
