Discover everything you need to know about this high-performance coupe, its standout features, and what sets it apart.
Mercedes-AMG GT India Launch Date
Mark your calendars for Friday, June 27, 2025!
The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and GT 63 Pro will officially launch in India with expected pricing starting above ₹3 crore (ex-showroom). With this launch, Mercedes-AMG’s India portfolio expands to cover nine models. Notably, the AMG G63 Collector’s Edition debuted earlier this month, while the AMG CLE 53 is set to arrive later in 2025.
Jaw-Dropping Performance Specs
Twin-Turbo V8 for Unmatched Power
Under the hood, both AMG GT versions feature Mercedes-Benz’s iconic 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged ‘hot vee’ V8 engine. Highlights include:
- 585hp and 800Nm (GT 63): Stronger torque than the AMG GT R predecessor.
- 612hp and 850Nm (GT 63 Pro): Even more extreme performance for thrill-seekers.
Speed to Spare
For both variants, power is channeled through a 9-speed dual-clutch transmission to the 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system, achieving incredible performance milestones:
- 0-100 kph in 3.2 seconds
- 0-200 kph in as quick as 10.9 seconds (GT 63 Pro)
- Top Speed: 315kph (GT 63) and 317kph (GT 63 Pro)
Key Differences Between GT 63 and GT 63 Pro
Designed for Performance Purists
The AMG GT 63 Pro takes motoring dynamics to the next level with enhancements for both speed and looks. Here’s how the Pro differs from the standard GT 63 model:
- Enhanced Power: 27hp and 50Nm more power
- Better Aerodynamics: Features like a carbon-fiber rear wing reduce front lift by 30kg and boost rear downforce by 15kg.
- Improved Hardware: Larger brakes, lighter wheels, grippier tires, and refined cooling systems.
- Sportier Design: A revised front bumper, splitter, trim details on the side sills, and a sharper rear diffuser.
Cutting-Edge Features for Comfort
A Reflection of Grand Touring Luxury
The second-generation AMG GT is more than just a high-performance sports car; it’s also a practical grand tourer. With dimensions expanded over its predecessor, the new AMG GT offers:
- A 2+2 seating layout for extra flexibility.
- Spacious cargo capacity.
- Premium cabin finishes such as Nappa leather upholstery.
High-Tech Amenities Include:
- 11.9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- 12.3-inch fully digital driver’s display.
- Burmester surround sound system for audiophiles.
- Wireless charging, ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, and more.
Competitive Landscape
How Does It Stack Up Against the Porsche 911 Carrara 4 GTS?
The closest competitor in the segment is the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS, priced at ₹2.84 crore (ex-showroom). While the Porsche’s 541hp flat-6 hybrid powertrain offers a compelling package, AMG GT’s twin-turbo V8 clearly outruns it in sheer power. Pricing for the AMG GT, however, will likely come at a premium.
