Under extreme test conditions, the technology pioneer demonstrated its superior endurance, continuing Mercedes-AMG’s long tradition of record-breaking achievements.
The performance brand from Affalterbach pushed the limits with two vehicles sprinting lap after lap, breaking record after record, at a running speed of 300 km/h – for seven days, 13 hours, 24 minutes and 07 seconds. Among the records is the one for the longest distance ever covered by an electric vehicle in 24 hours.
But in this extreme endurance test, the previous benchmark wasn’t just broken once – it was shattered fourteen times: Mercedes-AMG fielded two CONCEPT AMG GT XX in the Nardò challenge.
Both vehicles exceeded the previous record in every single 24-hour window by an overwhelming margin. This ultimate stress test was only possible thanks to the unmatched endurance capability of its revolutionary drivetrain.
The CONCEPT AMG GT XX is powered by three axial flux motors and a direct-cooled battery – technologies that will enter production next year in the upcoming high-performance architecture AMG.EA. A host of additional, partially production-ready innovations also played a key role in this extreme test. Among them: an integrated cooling concept, sophisticated aerodynamics, and an intelligent operating strategy.
Moreover, the CONCEPT AMG GT XX also introduces a range of innovations in both its exterior and interior. Highlights include an augmented reality racing helmet, ergonomic 3D seat pads, and novel biotechnolog based materials. Exterior standouts feature illuminated paint segments along the sides, headlight-integrated speakers, and the MBUX Fluid Light Panel at the rear.

Markus Schäfer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Chief Technology Officer, Development & Procurement:
“Mercedes-AMG and Formula 1® stand for innovation, intense competition, and pushing the boundaries of what is technically possible. Our powertrains have been delivering groundbreaking success since the very first road races in automotive history more than 120 years ago, setting benchmarks for decades.
“In the 1970s and 1980s, Mercedes-Benz was a regular guest here at Nardò, setting numerous international speed and track records - most notably with the C111 as a visionary technology program. Back then, we demonstrated the performance capabilities of innovative diesel and petrol powertrains.
“Now, with the CONCEPT AMG GT XX technology programme, we are entering a new dimension of performance – this time with fully electric drive. The goal is to redefine the limits of what is technically possible in the age of electric drives. So what could be more fitting than to go chasing records once again?
“Our mission: to redefine the very standards of performance with groundbreaking technologies and innovations. The motivation and dedication of the cross-functional team from Mercedes-AMG, Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz Mobility, and our F1 engine experts at Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains throughout the entire preparation phase were boundless. I am immensely proud of the unprecedented achievement of the entire team in this unique record drive.”
