Mercedes-Benz unveils AMG GT 63 sports car variants at ₹3 crore

Mumbai: India’s most desirable luxury carmaker, Mercedes-Benz, today unveiled two new sportscar from its famed ‘GT Family’: the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ and the track-focused Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupés, representing the pinnacle of AMG’s F1-inspired performance engineering. The second-generation AMG GT family combines race-bred technology with enhanced everyday usability, offering Indian performance enthusiasts an unparalleled driving experience.

Performance excellence across two distinct variants

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé features a handcrafted 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine producing 430 kW (585 hp) and 800 Nm of torque. The vehicle accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 315 km/h, delivering exhilarating performance for both road and track use.

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ represents the ultimate track-focused variant, delivering 450 kW (612 hp) and 850 Nm of torque. This model features enhanced aerodynamics with additional air deflectors, upgraded cooling systems with radiators in the front wheel arches, and track-optimised components. It achieves 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 317 km/h, making it the most performance-oriented AMG GT ever offered.

Revolutionary technology and engineering

Both variants feature the groundbreaking AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilisation, replacing conventional anti-roll bars with active hydraulic elements that provide exceptional handling precision and comfort. The system actively manages roll movements in milliseconds, delivering optimal performance in both everyday driving and track conditions.

Active aerodynamics play a crucial role in the AMG GT’s performance, with the innovative AIRPANEL system featuring vertical and horizontal louvres that optimise airflow based on driving conditions.

The retractable rear spoiler assumes five different positions above 100 km/h, while the active underbody element creates a Venturi effect for enhanced downforce.

The AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ takes aerodynamic efficiency further with a redesigned front apron, additional air deflectors made of visible carbon fibre, and underbody fins similar to those on the Mercedes-AMG ONE. These enhancements reduce front axle lift by over 30 kilograms and increase rear downforce by approximately 15 kilograms.

Active rear-axle steering comes standard across both variants, with rear wheels steering opposite to front wheels up to 100 km/h for enhanced agility, and in the same direction above 100 km/h for improved stability.

Track-Focused enhancements in the GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ features extensively enhanced cooling systems specifically designed for track use. Two additional radiators positioned in the left and right front wheel arches increase cooling performance, while electrically operated water pumps actively cool the top-mounted radiators of the differentials and transfer case.

Standard equipment includes AMG ceramic high-performance composite brakes with six-piston fixed callipers at the front and 420-millimetre brake discs. The lightweight AMG Performance 21-inch forged wheels in cross-spoke design come painted exclusively in Himalaya grey matt, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 5S tyres as standard, with optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tyres available at no extra charge.

Enhanced everyday usability

The new AMG GT Coupé features an extended dimensional concept making it suitable for people up to 1.5 metres tall in the rear seats.

The MBUX infotainment system includes extensive AMG-specific content across five display styles, featuring exclusive menus such as “AMG Performance” and “AMG TRACK PACE” for comprehensive vehicle monitoring and track analysis.

“One Man, One Engine” Philosophy

Every AMG engine is assembled entirely by hand at the Mercedes-AMG facility in Affalterbach according to the “One Man, One Engine” principle. This tradition ensures each engine receives individual attention and craftsmanship, with modern Industry 4.0 production methods enhancing quality and efficiency while maintaining the personal touch that defines AMG.

The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine features twin-scroll turbochargers and has been specifically optimised for the AMG GT applications, with the GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ variant achieving its additional output through higher boost pressure, greater air throughput, and modified engine software.

Advanced Driver Assistance and Track Technology

The AMG GT range can be optioned with comprehensive driver assistance systems with a new 3D visualisation concept in the instrument cluster. The AMG TRACK PACE system comes standard, recording over 80 vehicle parameters ten times per second for detailed track analysis and driver improvement.

Six AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programmes (“Slippery”, “Comfort”, “Sport”, “Sport+”, “Individual”, and “RACE”) enable a wide range of vehicle characteristics from comfortable to dynamic. The integrated AMG DYNAMICS system expands ESP® functions with agile interventions in all-wheel drive control and steering characteristics.

Connectivity and Digital Services

Mercedes me connect services provide extensive connectivity features, including live traffic information, Car-to-X communication, and smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The optional head-up display shows relevant information in three dimensions, while ambient lighting offers 64 different colour options.
