  "account": "Mercedes-AMG GT: The brand aims to convince even the last doubter of electric grand touring cars with this grand tourer.\n\nIn Malaga, enthusiasts of high-performance electric sports cars are learning new technical terms, such as \"axial-flow motor.\" These extremely lightweight and compact high-performance machines have previously been found in super sports cars from Ferrari, McLaren, and Koenigsegg. Now, AMG, the sportscar arm of Mercedes, is equipping the new GT 4-door coupe with three such electric motors: two at the rear and one at the front. This brings the electric version of the Gran Turismo closer to the brand's peak performance, with up to 860 kW/1,169 PS for the GT 63, making it the strongest series AMG ever. The vehicle costs nearly 200,000 euros and is currently the most expensive.\n\nThe GT 55, with 600 kW/816 PS for 154,700 euros, and the GT 53, with 400 kW/544 PS for just over 115,000 euros, follow suit. However, these high-performance variants are reserved for the two most powerful models. But who needs such power? The answer is clear: the GT stands for Gran Turismo, meaning comfortable long journeys with powerful engines. This AMG is designed to do both: tear through bends and subsequently transport families comfortably with luggage to the Mediterranean.",
