Mercedes-AMG has introduced the latest addition to its esteemed AMG GT lineup at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The new Mercedes-AMG GT63 PRO 4MATIC+ is designed for car enthusiasts seeking unparalleled driving dynamics. This model offers agile responses and superior performance, enhancing the sporty driving experience, particularly on race tracks. Key upgrades, including increased power, aerodynamic fine-tuning, and enhanced cooling, contribute to faster circuit times and elevated driving dynamics.
Exceptional Driving Dynamics and Everyday Usability
The AMG GT63 PRO retains the core advantages of its AMG GT family while addressing customer demands for improved everyday usability. The second-generation AMG GT boasts a spacious interior and excellent visibility, with an optional 2+2 seating configuration. High-tech components such as the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilization, standard rear-axle steering, and active aerodynamics sharpen the driving profile. The fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive ensures optimal power distribution to the road.
Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, highlights the GT63 PRO as the sportiest model in the AMG GT family. “The new AMG GT63 PRO is the ideal choice for those who want to enjoy their AMG GT on the road and tackle fast laps on the race track. We have boosted the engine’s performance and enhanced aerodynamics, ensuring stability even under intense use while maintaining a high degree of everyday usability.”
Enhanced Performance and Racetrack Drivability
Under the hood, the AMG GT63 PRO features a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine delivering 450 kW (612 hp), 20 kW (27 hp) more than the AMG GT63. The engine experts in Affalterbach have increased the maximum torque by 50 Nm to 850 Nm, providing even more powerful acceleration. The AMG GT63 PRO accelerates from 0 to 200 km/h in just 10.9 seconds, with a top speed of 317 km/h.
Advanced Cooling Systems
To ensure optimal performance under increased load, the AMG GT63 PRO is equipped with an extensively expanded cooler package. Two additional radiators positioned in the front wheel arches enhance the cooling performance of the drivetrain. The top-mounted radiators of the differentials and the transfer case of the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive are actively cooled with electrically operated water pumps, dissipating heat more effectively. The redesigned air guide vanes on the underbody and revised brake cover plates improve airflow to the brakes, preventing excessively high temperatures.
Aerodynamic Excellence
The AMG GT63 PRO’s aerodynamic fine-tuning enhances its longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The redesigned front apron features additional air deflectors made of visible carbon fiber around enlarged side air intakes. The active aerodynamic profile in the underbody, AIRPANEL active air control system, and a fixed rear wing on the tailgate are standard features. These enhancements reduce aerodynamic lift on the front axle by over 30 kilograms, resulting in more precise steering. Additional underbody air deflectors, similar to those on the Mercedes-AMG ONE, accelerate airflow and increase downforce on the rear axle by around 15 kilograms.
Motorsport-Grade Components
The AMG GT63 PRO comes standard with an AMG ceramic high-performance composite brake system, the largest available from Mercedes-AMG. The lightweight brake discs, made of high-strength titanium, reduce weight and unsprung masses, offering greater durability and resistance to fading. The lightweight AMG Performance 21-inch forged wheels in cross-spoke design are painted in Himalaya grey matt and fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires as standard, with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R Cup tires available at no extra charge.
Motorsport-Inspired Design
The AMG GT63 PRO’s exterior and interior reflect its motorsport heritage. The standard AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber package includes a front splitter, side sill trim strips, diffuser, and rear wing in high-quality carbon fiber. The interior features black-painted brake callipers, AMG Performance seats with high lateral support, and an AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather/MICROCUT microfiber, providing a true motorsport feeling.
The new Mercedes-AMG GT63 PRO is a testament to Mercedes-AMG’s commitment to delivering exceptional performance, advanced technology, and everyday usability, making it a standout choice for sports car enthusiasts.
