Mercedes-AMG has had enough. After years of trailing BMW M in global performance car sales, the Affalterbach-based brand is preparing to close the gap. It is going all in, with plans to launch over 27 new models in the next three years. The target is clear – push annual sales to 200,000 units by 2030.
Right now, that gap is hard to ignore. Last year, Mercedes-AMG delivered around 145,000 cars. But BMW M is still comfortably ahead, crossing 213,000 units and marking yet another record year. AMG knows it needs more than incremental gains. It needs a full-scale push.
And that’s exactly what’s coming. The roadmap includes new six- and eight-cylinder models, the return of the GT Black Series, and even a G63 Convertible. There’s also an extreme CLE model under the Mythos line with a V8, alongside a more usable CLE 63 and a new C53. On the electric side, AMG is preparing an SUV based on the GT 4-Door platform.
Interestingly, AMG plans to cut its engine lineup from ten variants down to just four. Expect updated versions of the inline-six and a reworked V8, alongside a continued push into EVs.

Let’s go!!! So glad these companies like Porsche and Mercedes have seen the demand and reversed their “EV Only” stances. Give the people what they want! You can offer EVs AND performance 6/8cylinder sportscars at the same time.
