Mercedes-AMG GT XX Concept Car Breaks Record For Longest Electric Car Distance Driving 24 Hours

JAKARTA Mercedes-AMG is making history again. Their latest high performance concept car, GT XX, which is a preview of the future AMG GT 4-door couple, managed to set a record for the furthest electric car distance in the world. In extreme trials, the car covered an incredible distance of 3,405 miles (about 5,479 km) in just 24 hours.

This achievement was announced through the Mercedes-AMG X account today.

We started with 24 hours. Non-stop driving - the longest distance EVER driven by an electric vehicle in this time. But we didn't stop pushing there... We drove around the world in under 8 days! 40,075 km later, and we've got a few records to show for it too 🏆 #SOAMG pic.twitter.com/jbzArwO10h

Although GT XX is just a concept car, this achievement is crucial validation for future technology Mercedes-AMG.

AMG's Chief Executive Officer, Michael Schiebe, confirmed that this ultra-fast performance and charging will be passed on to the production model. GT XX technology will be the foundation for the next-generation AMG GT 4-door coup which is scheduled to arrive at the end of 2026, as well as the 1,000 bhp super-SUV which will be launched in 2027.

Citing Autocar's report, Monday, August 25, this new record, which was independently verified, was created on the Nard job track, Italy. In the trial, GT XX managed to record an average speed of 186 mph (about 299 km/hour), stopping only to carry out ultra-fast charging with up to 900 kW. This achievement far exceeds the previous record (not the concept car) held by X Peng P7 (3,960 km) and Xiaomi YU7 Max (3,944 km).

This 24-hour achievement is just one of a series of records claimed by Mercedes-AMG. The peak of an eight-day trial campaign at Nard Totaling is the success of GT XX around the world, covering a distance of 24,907 miles (around Earth) in less than eight days, or exactly 7 days, 13 hours, 24 minutes. This ambitious action was dubbed "Around the World in 80 Days" as a tribute to Jules Verne's famous novel.

This extraordinary performance was made possible thanks to GT XX's advanced electric drivetrain. The system uses three motorbikes, two at the back and one at the front, operating on the 800-volt architecture. The total resulting power reaches 1,341 bhp, a fantastic number that ensures maximum performance from start to finish.

The key key to this record is an intelligent charging strategy, centered on the revolutionary battery GT XX. The 114 kWh cylinder battery developed alongside the Mercedes-AMG powertrain division uses oil-immercing (oil-inundated) technology capable of transferring heat superiorly. This technology allows charging at super high rate without degradation, promising charging up to 249 miles (400 km) in just five minutes.

Behind the scenes, this success is the result of the hard work of a very large team. A total of 17 professional riders, including F1 racer George Russell, worked in a three-shift rotation. More than 100 personnel, from engineers on track to the mission control team at Affalterbach headquarters, Germany, were involved in the eight-day trial program.
