- The next AMG GT XX has led 5,479 km (3,404 miles) in 24 hours
- He then broke 25 long -distance records on the Nardò test track in Italy
- Mercedes-Benz says that engines and batteries are “ready for production”
Mercedes-Benz has been busy proving that his next AMG GT XX can take the distance by leading him to the world. Well, 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles) in exactly 7 days, 13 hours, 24 minutes and 07 seconds … to be precise.
The realization was only one of the many long -distance records fixed during an exhausting challenge on the Nardò test track at high speed in Italy, where a multitude of drivers and two vehicles maintained a constant speed of 300 km / h (186 MPH), stopping only briefly batteries via an invoicing infrastructure of 850 kW.
Mercedes-Benz wanted to emphasize that the AMG GT XX is capable of much higher speeds, but the marker of 300 km / h (186 MPH) was carefully selected on the basis of extended simulations which balanced the average track speeds with the number of load stops required for the fastest overall time.
During the waterfall, Mercedes broke a total of 25 long -distance records, including the greatest distance traveled by an EV in 24 hours (3,405 miles quite impressive).
Overall, it required 3,177 rpm of the 12.68 km Nardò circuit, where 17 drivers took two hours behind the wheel, including the Mercedes-AMG driver Formula 1 George Russell.
Great betting on new technologies
The impressive feat was not only designed to trample some titles, because Mercedes-AMG also wishes to highlight the performance and robustness of its new Pioneer Motopropulser group.
This is a particularly relevant point given his long and illustrious career in the production of formidable combustion engines and the difficulty he could have converted a current clientele.
Composed of three axial flow motors, an electrical architecture of 800 V and cylindrical cell batteries developed internally – which use an electrically non -conductive oil for cooling purposes – the futuristic powertrain in the AMG GT XX concept should offer more than 1,360 hp and is able to load more than 850KW in a wide range of the load curve.
During the revelation of the AMG GTXX concept earlier this year, Mercedes’ senior figures told Techradar that the company hoped to deploy its own 10,000 people loading network using 850 kW technology over the next decade.
During the endurance effort, the German brand said it only took five minutes to recharge enough for a range of approximately 400 kilometers (248 miles).
Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mercedes-AMG, said that the company was the first to use axial flow engines and batteries directly cooled in fully electric models and that recordings prove “how superior these technologies are”.
In addition, he said that customers of future electric models will get a real AMG, “no sites; no but ”.
However, Mercedes -AMG also includes the threat of China, the P7 electric sedan of Xpeng traveling nearly 4,000 km (2,485 miles) in 24 hours last week – resting the challenge for other manufacturers.
The Yu7 Max of Xiaomi also managed 2,451 miles in a similar blow, proving that powerful motorcycle groups and rapid load speeds are no longer only the reserve of recognized performance brands.
