British motors in AMC EV set to top 1,000bhp

Auto Express

May 14, 2025 - Special

UNIQUE British motors that slash size and weight and are more powerful than rivals are the heart of AMG's new EV super-saloon - and Auto Express has the lowdown from their inventor.

British motors in AMC EV set to top 1,000bhp

Oxford graduate Tim Woolmer founded Yasa in 2009 to commercialise the axial flux electric motor he designed for his PhD. Almost a decade later, he clinched a deal for Yasa to supply Ferrari's SF90 hybrid, and last week Auto Express toured the all-new £12million Oxfordshire factory also producing e-motors for Lamborghini and McLaren.

The plant is scaling up to produce 25,000 motors a year, and another major breakthrough comes this summer when Yasa starts powering its first pure-electric production car, the AMG GT 4-Door - although its motors will be made in Berlin after Mercedes' acquisition of Yasa in 2021.
