The automaker ended up getting 747 miles in another test attempt that summer.    Now, it's time to squeeze more power out of the EV tech available, and this is where the new Mercedes-AMG GT XX concept aims to break new ground, featuring a three-motor layout good for a combined 1,341 hp.    But it's not just the horsepower that this concept is about.
