Mercedes-Benz dominates the Brussels Motor Show 2026

The Brussels Motor Show 2026 promises to be one of the most impressive editions in years, and Mercedes-Benz is firmly taking the lead. From brand-new electric models to radical performance concepts and an iconic look back at 140 years of car history: the stand in the Patio is this year’s absolute centrepiece for fans of technology, design and performance.

Record-breaker: Mercedes-AMG Concept GT XX

The AMG GT XX is without doubt one of the absolute stars of Brussels 2026.
A concept car that not only demonstrates extreme performance, but actually shatters records:

• 5,479 km in 24 hours

• 40,075 km in 7 days, equal to the circumference of the Earth

• Axial flux motors good for 1,360 hp

• Liquid-cooled battery for extreme durability

This technology forms the basis of the AMG.EA high-performance architecture, which goes into production next year.
The GT XX shows how electric driving can be not only efficient, but downright spectacular.

Dreamcars: the best of Mercedes-AMG and Maybach

Mercedes-Benz brings an exceptional selection of Dreamcars, each an icon in its segment:

• Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed
  A radically open sports car with no roof or windscreen, inspired by F1. Limited to 250 units.

  The sportiest Maybach model ever, with a hand-painted monogram and crystal-white nappa leather.

In addition, the AMG CLE 53, G 580 EQ and AMG E 53 4MATIC+ are also in the spotlight, a showcase of power, innovation and exclusivity.

140 years of innovation and 100 years of Mercedes-Benz in Belgium

2026 is a historic year for Mercedes-Benz. The stand opens with a special piece of heritage: the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, a tribute to 140 years of automotive innovation and 100 years of Mercedes-Benz in Belgium.

The 1926 merger of Daimler and Benz united not only two pioneers, but also their iconic symbols: the three-pointed star and the laurel wreath. The result was a brand that became synonymous worldwide with quality, prestige and technological progress.
