AMG will roll out fresh six- and eight-cylinder variants.
A revised GT Black Series is also planned.
Two V8-powered CLE performance editions could appear.
Electric AMG models remain a priority.

Last year Mercedes-AMG delivered 145000 vehicles. BMW M posted its fourteenth straight year of growth and hit a record 213457 units. Affalterbach nevertheless has a clear strategy to narrow the gap with Garching before the decade closes. An ambitious product offensive will bring more than twenty-seven new vehicles to market inside the next thirty-six months.

During Bloomberg's Hot Pursuit podcast earlier this month Mercedes-AMG CEO Michael Schiebe described the coming wave of models. The all-electric GT 4-Door Coupe has already arrived followed by the GLE 63 and GLS 63 both fitted with the brand's new flat-plane-crank V8.

The long-awaited Mythos model a high-output V8 CLE is still awaited and is expected to spawn a milder CLE 63 version. Additional projects include a G63 Convertible a fresh GT Black Series and a six-cylinder C53 to complement the recently introduced GLC 53. An electric SUV sharing the GT 4-Door Coupe platform is also under development.

Broader Lineup With Fewer Powertrain Choices

Automotive News reports from AMG leadership that the expanding range will rely on only four engine families instead of the current ten. An updated inline-six and an all-new V8 will form the core of combustion models. Four-cylinder variants may persist as the division pursues a two-hundred-thousand-unit annual sales target by decade end.

Following BMW M's example AMG will offer varied choices rather than forcing electrification. Renewed emphasis on internal-combustion engines should help regain customers who turned to rivals. A V8 C-Class is unlikely to return in the near term.

No official details have surfaced on a long-awaited E63 yet Mercedes has already previewed the next E-Class to US dealers. The model is slated to debut as an EV in early 2028 with combustion versions arriving later. Reports suggest the wagon body style will continue so an E63 Wagon could challenge the M5 Touring and the forthcoming RS6 Avant.

What do you think?

Motor1's Take: Mercedes-AMG is doubling down on combustion engines even as European rules threaten large-displacement performance cars. Despite the approach of Euro 7 both six- and eight-cylinder units look secure well into the 2030s.

Although AMG still trails its rival it has more than doubled sales in ten years. Continued growth is forecast thanks to the wave of new products arriving inside the next thirty-six months.
