Mercedes' performance faction, AMG, has launched the GT 63 and the even more performance-focused GT 63 Pro at Rs 3 crore and Rs 3.65 crore, respectively (ex-showroom, India). The deliveries of the GT 63 and will begin by Q4 2025, followed by the GT 63 Pro by Q1 2026. Now in its second generation, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 has made a return after about a 5-year gap, following the discontinuation of the first-generation model in 2020. The arrival of the GT 63 coupes takes AMG's India line-up to a total of nine models.

1. The GT 63 duo's 4-litre twin-turbo V8 is hand-built by AMG
2. 0-100kph takes 3.2 and 3.1 seconds in the GT 63 and GT 63 Pro, respectively
3. The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS is the closest rival

Twin-turbocharged V8 engine is good for up to 612hp and 850Nm.

The hand-built 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine powers both GT 63s, paired with a 9-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends drive to all four wheels via the 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system. While this huge petrol block makes 585hp and 800Nm in the GT 63, AMG has tuned the same to make 612hp (+27hp) and 850Nm (+50Nm) in the GT 63 Pro variant. The GT 63 accelerates from 0-100kph in 3.2 seconds, while the GT 63 Pro does it slightly quicker at 3.1 seconds when optioned with Cup 2R tyres. The Pro also boasts a higher top speed of 317kph, 2kph more than the standard coupe. 

In addition to all that extra engine grunt, the AMG GT 63 Pro benefits from improved engine cooling, bigger brakes, lighter wheels and grippier tyres. Mercedes-Benz India will be offering special track experiences at multiple racing circuits to explore the full performance of these AMG models.

AMG boss Michael Schiebe on the GT 63’s transmission.

AMG CEO Michael Schiebe stated that the DCT features a wet "starter" clutch, which is mounted directly to the end of the V8. It replaces the rear-wheel-drive arrangement used earlier, providing the new coupe with what Schiebe described as "a much broader spread of driving characteristics, together with greater traction and added security in all weather conditions".

Larger measurements than the AMG GT progenitor.

Compared to the previous model, the 2025 AMG GT 63 has a larger footprint, measuring 182mm longer, 45mm wider and 66mm taller, with a wheelbase that is 70mm longer. A lot of the GT 63 coupe’s underpinnings are shared with the AMG SL roadster, and it uses a mix of lightweight materials like aluminium, steel, magnesium and carbon-fibre-reinforced plastics. This helps keep it strong and light, and key components like the underbody panel and cross braces are designed to add strength without adding extra weight. Mercedes is also offering its Active Ride Control suspension and rear axle steering (up to 2.5 degrees) as standard.

The new GT 63's design draws many cues from the first-generation model, including a long bonnet, curved roofline and an angled liftback tailgate. That said, the latest generation brings sleeker headlights and a refreshed bumper design; the GT 63 Pro stands out with a more aggressive bumper and distinct wheels. "The active aerodynamic profile is directly from Formula 1: thanks to the...Venturi effect, the vehicle literally sucks itself toward the road [at high speeds of over 100kph]," claimed Mercedes. 

The design avoids sharp edges, and even the door handles sit flush with the body for a clean finish. The roofline flows smoothly into the rear, ending in a wide, flat back with slim LED tail-lights connected by a slim blacked-out trim. It also gets a retractable rear spoiler that automatically deploys at high speeds and has five wing angles, as well as a sporty diffuser with twin exhaust tips.

Mercedes AMG GT 63, GT 63 Pro interior and features

11.9-inch touchscreen, drive modes, up to 675 litres of boot space.

Digital appointments inside include a 12.3-inch driver's display and an 11.6-inch touchscreen in portrait orientation running on Mercedes’ MBUX OS. The infotainment unit also has an AMG Performance menu, presenting engine output, lateral acceleration, power distribution via the 4Matic+ system, tyre pressure and fluid temperatures to the driver. Nappa leather upholstery, a wireless charger, a Burmester surround sound system, ambient lighting with 64 colours and dual-zone AC are some of its other feature offerings.

The drive modes – Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport +, Individual, Race – can be accessed via a rotary dial on the steering wheel. There's a Drift mode as well, which directs 100 percent power to the rear wheels only. Notably, the front sports seats have the option of ventilation and automatically actuated side bolsters that narrow in Sport, Sport+ and Race driving modes. A key highlight of the AMG GT 63's cabin is its 2+2 seating layout, unlike its predecessor’s strict two-seat setup; 63 Pro will be sold exclusively with two seats. Folding down the rear seats extends the boot space from 321 litres to 675 litres, translating into a 110 percent volume jump.
