The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé delivers a focused, V8-powered driving experience with technology and engineering honed for the racetrack. It features the already familiar AMG GT Coupe body styling which first appeared with the C190 AMG GT series way back in 2014. This, now the C192 is the second generation and first appeared in 2023, and now, we get the GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+, which is actually a track, or very driver, oriented machine. It features more kit like additional radiators, standard carbon-ceramic brakes, aero that reduces lift, and more downforce, resulting in faster acceleration and better stability at high speeds. It also had more power compared to the standard GT 63, from 577 hp (430 kW) to 612 hp (450 kW).

The second-generation AMG GT Coupé offers a generous feeling of space and good all-round visibility. High-tech components such as the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilisation, up to 2.5° rear-axle steering, and active aerodynamics also sharpen the driving profile. Additionally, the sporty coupé puts its power to the road with the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.
Improved performance and optimised drivability on racetracks
The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine with 450 kW (612 hp) ensures superior propulsion. It delivers 20 kW (27 hp) more than in the AMG GT 63, and the engine experts in Affalterbach have increased the maximum torque by 50 Nm to 850 Nm for even more powerful acceleration. This increase in performance was achieved by adapting the engine control unit. Power is transmitted through the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission. The new AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé impresses with its overall performance, especially at higher speeds. It sprints from zero to 200 km/h in just 10.9 seconds (0.5 seconds faster than the AMG GT 63). The top speed is reached at 317 km/h.
Extensively expanded cooler package
The AMG GT Coupé experts have reinforced the high-temperature and low-temperature cooling circuits so that the drivetrain does not get too hot even under increased load. Two radiators are now positioned in the left and right front wheel arches. This increases the cooling performance of the drivetrain and thus the overall performance of the vehicle on the racetrack.
The top-mounted radiators of the differentials on the front and rear axles and the transfer case of the fully variable all-wheel drive AMG Performance 4MATIC+ are now actively cooled. With the help of electrically operated water pumps, the coolant circulates in the corresponding cooling circuits and can therefore dissipate the heat better and more continuously via the top-mounted radiators.
The new geometry of the air guide vanes on the underbody and the revised brake cover plates also channel more air to the brakes. This increases durability and prevents excessively high brake temperatures.
Increased aero performance
The aerodynamic fine tuning also increases the overall performance in terms of longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The aerodynamics experts and the driving dynamics specialists have worked closely together here. The redesigned front apron is even more dominant. It integrates additional air deflectors made of visible carbon-fibre around the enlarged side air intakes. The new AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé also features active aerodynamic profile in the underbody, the AIRPANEL active air control system in the front apron, and the aerodynamics package with a fixed rear wing on the tailgate. The aerodynamic lift on the front axle is reduced by over 30 kilograms. This results in even more precise steering behaviour. The new AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé also has additional air deflectors on the underbody - similar to those on the Mercedes-AMG ONE. These fins, which are located at the height of the front and rear axles, accelerate the airflow on the underbody. All measures are coordinated and interact with the rear wing concept, which increases downforce on the rear axle by around 15 kilograms.
AMG ceramic high-performance composite braking system
The AMG ceramic high-performance composite brake system with six-piston fixed callipers at the front and one-piston floating callipers at the rear is equipped with 420-millimetre brake discs on the front axle. As in motorsport, performance-oriented brake pads are used. The brake system reduces weight, particularly the unsprung masses. Further advantages are their even greater durability and resistance to fading under heavy braking, which guarantee fast lap times. The brake system also excels with a long service life and spontaneous response behaviour. This is also a key factor for a high level of safety in everyday life on the road.
Motorsport feeling for the exterior and interior
The new AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé impresses from every perspective with its athletic design. Its 21-inch AMG cross-spoke forged wheels paired with black-painted brake callipers and AMG Night Package II lend an even more assertive presence. Further emphasising its connection to motorsport, the AMG Exterior Carbon Fibre package features a front splitter, trim strips in the side sills, diffuser, and AMG fixed rear wing aerofoil, all crafted in high-quality carbon-fibre. Complementing these details are the DIGITAL LIGHT with projection function, logo projection with AMG Pattern, and an AMG fuel cap.
Get in and enjoy the exclusive sports car ambience. The interior of the new AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé exudes a compelling sense of performance and emotion. It features AMG Performance seats in nappa leather / MICROCUT microfibre, AMG Performance steering wheel in carbon fibre design / MICROCUT microfibre, AMG carbon-fibre trim, MANUFAKTUR roof liner in black MICROCUT microfibre, and seat belts in yellow.
At the heart of the cockpit is the intelligent MBUX multimedia system, combining a 12.3-inch driver display with an 11.9-inch central display. Enhancing comfort and connectivity, the new AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé also features a head-up display and MBUX Augmented Reality for Navigation, projecting relevant driving and navigation information directly into the driver’s field of vision.
For those taking the new AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé to the racetrack, AMG TRACK PACE functions as a virtual race engineer, enabling precise analysis of lap, sector, and acceleration times on closed courses. Everyday comfort is equally well considered, with the ENERGIZING Package, THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control, and ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL. The Burmester® surround sound system with 11 speakers further completes the cabin with an immersive audio experience.
