Mercedes-AMG GT 63, GT 63 Pro launched in India: Gets a 4.0-litre V8
Mercedes-Benz India has launched the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and GT 63 Pro sports coupes in the Indian market priced at Rs 3 crore and Rs 3.65 crore, respectively (ex-showroom). Marking its comeback after a five-year absence, the latest iteration of the high-performance grand tourer steps in as a successor to the model that was phased out in 2020. Interested customers can book the cars online or by visiting their nearest dealership and the deliveries for the new GT 63 are scheduled to commence by late 2025, with a more powerful variant set to follow in early 2026. Let's talk about the engine first, both GT 63 and 63 Pro are powered by a tried and tested hand-built 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 engine pushing out 585hp and 800Nm of torque in GT 63, while the GT 63 Pro ups the ante with 612hp, an increase of 27hp and 850Nm, gaining an extra 50Nm over the standard version. Both cars come paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox which sends power to all four wheels. The GT 63 sprints from 0 to 100kph in 3.2 seconds, while the Pro variant shaves off a tenth of a second, achieving the same in 3.1 seconds when equipped with optional Cup 2R tyres. It also edges ahead in top speed, reaching 317kph, 2kph more than the standard model. Mercedes-AMG is also offering a special AMG GT 63 Pro Motorsport Collector's Edition in very limited numbers. While mechanically identical to the Pro, this edition features exclusive paintwork and interior touches inspired by the brand's current Formula One race cars. In terms of design, the two-door performance coupe has received a comprehensive overhaul, starting with a larger footprint, it's now both wider and longer than before. A key change is the adoption of a 2+2 seating configuration, previously reserved for the four-door AMG GT, making the cabin more versatile. It features the signature AMG GT silhouette, but now sports fresh alloy wheel designs, redesigned headlamps, and a new active rear spoiler. It also carries forward signature styling elements from its predecessor, such as the elongated bonnet, sweeping roofline, and sloping liftback tailgate. However, now the design has been sharpened with slimmer headlamps, a reworked front bumper, and cleaner surfacing. The Pro variant distinguishes itself with a more aggressive front end and unique alloy wheels. Mercedes has integrated aerodynamic elements derived from Formula 1, including an active underbody profile that uses the Venturi effect to generate downforce at speeds over 100kph, effectively pulling the car closer to the road. Design-wise, the car avoids harsh creases, with flush door handles and a smooth silhouette. The flowing roofline leads into a broad, flat rear that houses sleek LED tail-lights connected by a darkened trim strip. A retractable rear spoiler, with five different angles, and a prominent rear diffuser with dual exhausts complete the performance-focused design.
