Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé. So AMG.
The second-generation Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé stands at the pinnacle of the AMG lineup — a bold new flagship that redefines what a modern sports car can be. With cutting-edge technology, uncompromising performance, and unmistakable presence, it sets a new benchmark for driving exhilaration in its class. In combination with the thunderous AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine assembled entirely by hand at the company’s site in Affalterbach according to the “One Man, One Engine” principle, the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé delivers a class-leading driving experience. With 585 hp under the hood and a blistering 0–100 km/h sprint in just 3.2 seconds, it offers unrelenting performance and agility that puts it in a league of its own.
The all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé fuses thrilling performance with everyday usability, wrapped in a design that’s unmistakably AMG. Its expanded 2+2 dimensional concept unlocks powerful proportions—a long wheelbase, short overhangs, and steeply raked windscreen exude athleticism. Smooth, sculpted surfaces, recessed door handles, and muscular wheel arches underscore its dynamic stance. With its wider track, imposing radiator shell, poised silhouette, and muscular rear end, the all-new AMG GT Coupé promises a driving experience of the highest calibre. Additionally, the bold AMG radiator grille, DIGITAL LIGHT headlights, and seamlessly integrated active rear spoiler heighten its commanding presence. At the rear, a sleek fastback silhouette, horizontal LED taillights, and a race-inspired diffuser deliver a striking finale. Finished with the AMG Exterior Carbon Package, AMG Night package, and 21-inch AMG cross-spoke forged wheels, this coupé is built to turn heads.
Interior: Performance meets luxury in every detail
The interior design uses the AMG high-performance sports car genes, which have been skilfully translated into a digital world and consistently further developed. Materials, workmanship, and “attention to detail” underscore the vehicle’s claim to luxury in the interior. The cockpit design, right down to the central display in the centre console, is focused on the driver and impresses with a harmonious overall look. The fully digital instrument cluster is integrated into a three-dimensional visor.
The centre console flows into the lower section of the instrument panel. The functional and optical centre is the 11.9-inch multimedia touchscreen. The MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system is intuitive to use and capable of learning. It offers extensive AMG-specific content in five display styles.
In the AMG Performance menu, the driver can call up a wide range of data with a tap of the finger on various icons: from output, torque, or lateral acceleration to the power distribution of the all-wheel drive or the current vehicle condition with tyre pressure and fluid temperatures. The wheel angles on the front and rear axles or the oil pressure in the active roll stabilisation system can also be displayed.
Using the capacitive display button on the control bar below the central display, the driver selects various functions such as media volume, assistance systems, vehicle functions, or the appropriate driving mode from “Comfort” to “RACE”. Its head-up display shows relevant information and actions in three dimensions in the real driving situation and environment.
With their particularly sporty seat position, the AMG Performance seats lay the foundation for maximum handling sovereignty. The strongly contoured seat shape with integrated head restraints and AMG badge combines ideal lateral support with a particularly dynamic appearance—making every drive, from track to tour, an indulgent experience.
The three rounded double spokes of the AMG performance steering wheel combine stability with lightness. The steering wheel rim, flattened at the bottom is covered in Carbon Fibre / MICROCUT Microfibre. A sensor mat is also included to detect “hands-on”. If the driver does not keep their hands on the steering wheel for a certain period, a warning cascade is started which, if the driver continues to be inactive, finally activates the emergency stop assistant.
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission can also be shifted manually, quickly and precisely using the aluminium shift paddles arranged on the left and right behind the steering wheel rim.
Active aerodynamics for good balance and high efficiency
Every contour of the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé is crafted for aerodynamic supremacy. Developed with a relentless focus on efficiency and high-speed stability, its intelligent aero system balances low drag with minimal lift—delivering unwavering confidence, even during sudden manoeuvres at high speeds.
A technical highlight in the aero development is the two-part, active air control system AIRPANEL. The first part operates with vertical slats that are hidden behind the lower air intake in the front apron. The second part is located behind the upper air intake and has horizontal louvres. Normally all slats are closed. This position reduces air resistance and makes it possible to direct the air towards the underbody, further reducing the front lift. Only when certain temperatures have been reached on pre-defined components and the need for cooling air is particularly high, do the fins open (the second system only from 180 km/h) and allow maximum cooling air to flow to the heat exchangers.
The active aerodynamic element, which is hidden in the underbody in front of the engine, also contributes to the improved handling. This carbon profile, which weighs around two kilograms, is an exclusive AMG development and protected by patents. It reacts to the position of the AMG drive programmes and automatically lowers by around 40 millimetres at a speed of 80 km/h. This creates a Venturi effect, which sucks the car onto the road and reduces lift on the front axle. The driver feels this positively in the steering as the AMG GT Coupé can be steered more precisely in bends with even more directional stability.
More traction and driving stability: fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive
The AMG GT Coupé is equipped with fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. The intelligent system combines the advantages of different drive concepts with fully variable torque distribution on the front and rear axle. The driver can also rely on a high level of driving stability and driving safety under all conditions: on dry roads as well as on wet roads. The transition from rear to all-wheel drive and vice versa takes place continuously, based on a sophisticated matrix that integrates the intelligent control into the overall vehicle system architecture.
An electromechanically controlled clutch variably connects the constantly driven rear axle with the front axle. The best possible torque distribution is continuously calculated depending on the driving situation and the driver’s wishes. The new coupé can be driven in a continuously variable manner from traction-oriented all-wheel drive with 50:50 power distribution to the front and rear axles to pure rear-wheel drive. In addition to traction and lateral dynamics, the all-wheel drive also improves longitudinal dynamics for even more powerful acceleration.
AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilisation
AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL enhances driving dynamics by actively compensating for body roll using advanced electromechanical stabilisers on both axles. Sensors monitor driving conditions and road surfaces up to 1,000 times per second, allowing the suspension and steering to adapt instantly. The result is a highly stable and responsive ride, with significantly reduced body movements during cornering, acceleration, braking, or uneven terrain.
This system not only delivers exceptional agility and control at the limits but also improves ride comfort during everyday driving. It sharpens the vehicle’s lateral dynamics for a more engaging drive while maintaining a smooth, composed feel on straights. The system seamlessly integrates with AMG DYNAMIC SELECT, enhancing each drive mode with greater precision, stability, and performance.
Rear axle locking differential for optimised driving stability
The all-new AMG GT Coupé has an electronically controlled rear axle locking differential, which ensures excellent traction and maximum driving safety in all driving conditions. Not only is the traction of the drive wheels on the rear axle further improved, the cornering speeds in the limit area also increase. In addition, driving stability is optimised when changing lanes at high speed. The system works with a variable locking effect in traction and overrun mode and is perfectly matched to the different driving conditions and road surface friction values.
Active rear-axle steering combines agility and stability
The all-new AMG GT Coupé is also equipped with active rear-axle steering. Depending on the speed, the rear wheels steer in either the opposite direction (up to 100 km/h) or in the same direction (faster than 100 km/h) as the front wheels. The system thus enables agile and stable driving behaviour in equal measure – characteristics that conflict with one another without rear-axle steering. Further advantages are the easier vehicle controllability in the limit area as well as less steering effort because the translation of the front wheel steering is more direct.
High-performance composite brake system with lightweight brake discs
The AMG high-performance compound brake system guarantees excellent deceleration values and precise metering. It impresses with short braking distances, sensitive response behaviour, and high stability – even under extreme loads. The composite brake discs are particularly light: Driving dynamics and steering behaviour benefit from the reduced unsprung masses. Brake disc (made of cast steel) and brake pot (made of aluminium) are now connected with special pins and no longer with screws as before. This construction saves space, which is used for even better brake cooling. The directional perforation is also new: In addition to the weight savings and better heat dissipation, this solution scores with a faster response in the wet and better cleaning of the pads after braking.
Six drive programmes and AMG DYNAMICS: from comfortable to dynamic
The six AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programmes “Slippery”, “Comfort”, “Sport”, “Sport +”, “Individual”, and “RACE” enable a wide range of vehicle characteristics from comfortable to dynamic. Each programme offers an individual driving experience, precisely tailored to different driving conditions.
