Porsche Ace Leads Mercedes-AMG
Ex-Porsche EV Boss Takes the Wheel
Mercedes-AMG has announced a significant leadership change, appointing Stefan Weckbach as its new CEO. Weckbach, who previously headed Porsche's electric vehicle (EV) division, brings a wealth of experience in high-performance and electrified mobility—a clear sign that AMG is doubling down on its electric ambitions.
Weckbach was instrumental in the development of Porsche's Taycan, one of the most acclaimed electric sports cars on the market. His move to Mercedes-AMG suggests that the performance subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz is gearing up for a new era of electrification, blending AMG's signature power with cutting-edge EV technology.
This leadership shift could mean a bolder approach to future AMG models, possibly accelerating the transition from traditional combustion engines to fully electric powertrains. Fans and industry watchers alike will be keen to see how Weckbach’s vision shapes the next generation of AMG vehicles, especially as the performance car segment faces mounting pressure to go green.
