AMG Reportedly Working on a Distinct All-Electric Performance SUV
With Earth Day just around the corner, it’s an electric week at Auto123 as we turn the lights towards noteworthy developments in the EV segment.
AMG is where Mercedes-Benz turns for the development of high-performance models. For the most part, that division produces modified versions of models developed under the regular Mercedes-Benz banner. But it has on occasion come up with wholly unique models, for example the AMG GT.
The AMG division has its sights on the EV segment, with a first all-electric AMG-proper sedan already confirmed and in the works. But as reported by Autocar, there is also an all-electric SUV planned, that will be produced exclusively by the performance division.
