As per a report from the overseas automotive media platform 'electrek', Yasa, the motor - making subsidiary of Mercedes - Benz, has rolled out a groundbreaking new motor prototype. This prototype packs a power output of 59kW (equivalent to 79 horsepower) per kilogram, a feat that's poised to completely transform the performance landscape of electric vehicles.

The motor stands out due to its innovative, thinner disc - shaped rotor design. This unique structure allows it to generate higher torque and power while maintaining the same mass as traditional motors. Weighing a mere 12.7kg, the motor can unleash a peak power of 750kW (roughly 1,006 horsepower) and offers a continuous output ranging from 350 - 400kW.

The prototype has already undergone rigorous testing on a dynamometer, proving its viability for large - scale production. Yasa has ambitious plans to integrate this cutting - edge technology into the next generation of high - performance AMG models, further solidifying Mercedes - Benz's position at the forefront of automotive innovation.
