805-HP Mercedes-AMG GT 73 Plug-in in the Works
A potential plug-in Mercedes-AMG GT 73 expected to throw down 805hp is rumored for 2020, leaving the rest of the performance hybrid pack in the dust.
Plugging in
Like the majority automakers today, Mercedes is embracing the electrified future with the development of mild hybrids, self-powered hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and even fully electric powertrains. The latest reports and spy shots from Autocar suggest Mercedes is in the process of developing a plug-in hybrid version of its AMG GT 4-door coupé. Rumored to crank out a whopping 805hp, find out what we know so far about this high-performance plug-in hybrid beast.
High-Performance Hybrid
Arguably, Mercedes brought about the rise of the modern 4-door coupé in the mid-2000s with its CLS. Fourteen years later, the brand is upping the ante, developing a high-performance plug-in hybrid version of its Mercedes AMG-GT 4-door coupé. The hybrid powertrain is said to be anchored by a biturbo V8. Mercedes trademarked three “73” model names — G73, GLS73, and S73 — in Europe in 2017, and Canada and 2018, notes Autoblog.
