2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ First Look
Mercedes-AMG has a storied history, and in this century, the brand transcended from tuning Mercedes saloons and estates to dishing out fully-developed sportscars, which began with the Mercedes SLS AMG. The SLS was the first Mercedes-Benz automobile designed and built from scratch entirely by AMG and it debuted with a massive 6.3-litre V8. The SLS is etched in the history books of Mercedes-Benz, as being the first proper AMG, and it was followed up by the Mercedes-AMG GT. The car was available in India till five years ago, and now the second-generation has made it to our before, the GT is available only in the top-spec 63 guise, but here is a cherry on the top, India also gets the 63 Pro, a more hardcore, track weapon, as well, but Mercedes-Benz only had the 63 on display for us, and so that is what we are going to cover here. 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+: ExteriorDimensionally, the GT is 182mm longer, 45mm wider and 66mm taller, and this also uses a 70mm longer wheelbase. While it isbigger, the GT actually looks slightly smaller compared to the older car, courtesy of the curves I would reckon, giving it a bit of the SLK presence. At the front, it gets a massive slatted radiator grille, flanked by LED headlamps. Over to the sides, the long bonnet, cab backward design gives the GT its signature look. Under the nose sits an active aero element, that reduces the pressure below the car, hence helping with the downforce. advertisement At the rear, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 gets a nice sloping roofline, that also houses the glass window. The carbon fibre wing at the back is the real shhowstopper, it looks sleek, is functional all the way and lets the lurking 911s know that this isn't a 43 or a 55 AMG, this is the full-fat 63. An element that really sets this car apart from all other Mercs are the triple-pod LED taillamps, they look slick, and add to the character. Down below, is a massive all carbon diffuser, with quad-tip tailpipes, and these are slightly disappointing. For most of us, even if it doesn't sound loud, the exhaust needs to look loud, and these look a bit quiet, but I am sure the shape and size has to do with aero. The fixed carbon wing is beyond cool, and adds teeth to the GT 63 The GT uses a mix of aluminium, steel, magnesium and carbon-fibre reinforced plastics, have been used around the construction of the GT to keep it strong yet light.2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+: Interior Inside, customers are greeted with a familiar look, that is shared with the Mercedes-AMG SL. It gets a bit more carbon fibre and Alcantara, adding to the sportiness. The driver gets a 12.3-inch instrument panel, with AMG specific displays, and this being placed inside a binnacle does wonders to how one perceives this digital display. The centre is dominated by a 11.6-inch titled display, that runs MBUX. The rest of the cabin is pretty standard AMG, powered sport seats, Nappa leather, Burmester audio, ambient lighting is interesting is that because the GT is bigger, Mercedes has propped in two more seats. Although these do not qualify as seats because adults cannot fit in without a lot of hassle, so these are mainly for the children or groceries. Speaking of storage, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ may be one of the most practical sportscar ever, it gets a sizeable 321-litre boot, that can fit in two-three luggage pieces and that for a car that packs in a V8 is a true compliment. This can even be expanded to over 600-litres with the rear seats dropped. advertisement2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+: SpecificationsPower comes from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers 585bhp and 800Nm of torque, sent to all the wheels via 4MATIC+ AWD. The GT 63 can sprint from 0 to 100kmph in 3.2 seconds, and to a top speed of 315kmph. The 9-speed DCT features a wet starter clutch, that has been mounted at the end of the V8. The GT 63 gets Active Ride Control Suspension, a 30mm front axle lift, and rear-wheel steering as standard. It gets many drive modes including the new Drift mode that sends power to the rear wheels, allowing for easier drifting manoeuvres. 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+: PriceThe Mercedes-AMG GT63 is priced at Rs 3.00 crore (ex-showroom), while the more hardcore GT63 Pro is priced at Rs 3.65 crore (ex-showroom). At this price, the AG competes mainly with the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS priced at Rs 2.84 crore (ex-showroom).advertisementSubscribe to Auto Today Magazine- Ends

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.
