A new chapter for Mercedes-AMG: electric without compromise
With its first fully in-house electric performance platform, the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé sets a clear ambition: to remain true to the AMG driving feel, even in a new era of electrification. The result is a high-performance grand tourer capable of delivering instant torque, sustained high-speed performance, and everyday comfort.
But translating that power to the road requires more than engineering under the hood. It demands a precise connection between the car and the asphalt.
Tyres designed as part of the driving experience
For this model, Michelin and Mercedes‑AMG worked together from the earliest stages, not to design a generic tyre, but to build a complete driving experience.
The flagship tyre, the MICHELIN Pilot Sport S 5 MO1, reflects this philosophy. It features a tread made of four different rubber compounds to balance dry grip, wet safety and durability.
The challenges were significant: supporting a high-performance electric vehicle with instant torque, high load, and speeds exceeding 300 km/h while maintaining stability and comfort.
To meet these demands, Michelin developed:
Reinforced carcass structures for stability and high-speed resistance,
Acoustic foam technology to reduce cabin noise, key for an EV (except MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 R),
Advanced simulation combined with real-world testing to fine-tune performance.
The objective is simple: deliver total confidence, whether driving daily or pushing track limits.
Tyre Options for Every Season and Track
Unlike traditional fitments, this Mercedes-AMG benefits from a full Michelin range tailored to different driving scenarios:
Summer performance tyres (MICHELIN Pilot Sport 5 EnergyTM, MICHELIN Pilot Sport S 5) for efficiency and high grip
Track-focused option (MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 R) for maximum performance on circuit
Winter solutions (MICHELIN Pilot Alpin 5) for cold conditions
All-season tyres (MICHELIN Pilot Sport All Season 4) for versatility (US only)
All tyres carry Mercedes-AMG-specific markings (MO1), ensuring they match the vehicle’s setup and performance targets.
This approach allows every driver, from daily commuters to track enthusiasts, to experience the same core Mercedes-AMG character.
