Mercedes-AMG Unveils New GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Mercedes-AMG has expanded its GT family with the introduction of the new GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+, revealed around the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Designed for car enthusiasts seeking exceptional driving dynamics, this new model offers a sportier driving experience with enhanced power, improved aerodynamics, and better cooling systems, making it a formidable performer on the race track.

Key Features and Improvements:

  • Enhanced Performance:
    • Powerful Engine: The AMG GT 63 PRO is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine delivering 612hp, 27 hp more than the AMG GT 63. The maximum torque increased by 50Nm to 850Nm, allowing for more powerful acceleration.
    • Acceleration and Speed: It can sprint from 0 to 200 km/h in just 10.9 seconds, 0.5 seconds faster than the AMG GT 63, with a top speed of 317km/h.

  • Advanced Cooling System:
    • Expanded Cooler Package: The high-temperature and low-temperature cooling circuits have been reinforced. Two radiators are positioned in the left and right front wheel arches to enhance cooling performance.
    • Active Cooling: The top-mounted radiators of the differentials and the transfer case of the all-wheel drive system are now actively cooled using electrically operated water pumps, ensuring the drivetrain remains cool under increased load.

  • Aerodynamic Enhancements:
    • Aerodynamic Tuning: The redesigned front apron includes additional air deflectors made of visible carbon fibre and an active aerodynamic profile in the underbody. The aerodynamic lift on the front axle is reduced by over 30 kilograms, improving steering precision.
    • Rear Wing and Underbody Fins: The fixed rear wing and additional air deflectors on the underbody, similar to those on the Mercedes-AMG ONE, increase downforce on the rear axle by around 15kg.

  • Improved Braking and Wheels:
    • Ceramic Brake System: The AMG ceramic high-performance composite brake system includes 420-millimetre brake discs on the front axle, the largest standard ceramic brake discs available from Mercedes-AMG. This system reduces weight and provides greater durability and resistance to fading.
    • Forged Wheels and Cup Tyres: Lightweight 21-inch forged wheels in cross-spoke design are painted in Himalaya grey matt. Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres are standard, with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R Cup tyres available at no extra charge.

  • Interior and Exterior Design:
    • Motorsport-Inspired Design: The AMG Exterior Carbon Fibre package includes a front splitter, trim strips in the side sills, a diffuser, and a rear wing in high-quality carbon fibre. Black-painted brake callipers, AMG Performance seats with high lateral support, and an AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather/MICROCUT microfibre complete the motorsport feel.

Everyday Usability:

  • The new AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ offers the same advantages as other AMG GT family members, with improved everyday usability, a generous feeling of space, and good all-round visibility. It is optionally available with 2+2 seats, making it practical for daily use.

The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ combines advanced technology, improved performance, and sophisticated design to provide an exceptional driving experience. With its enhanced cooling systems, aerodynamic improvements, and powerful engine, it is well-suited for both the racetrack and everyday driving.
