Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ "Motorsport Collectors Edition", an exclusive limited edition inspired by the Formula 1 team

During the last edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, held in July, many brands took the opportunity to present their latest sports cars, among them Mercedes-AMG, and the German brand was there with the spectacular Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+, a model that, given its characteristics, sits at the very top of the AMG range.

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ has been chosen to create a very exclusive limited edition, specifically just 200 units worldwide, called “Motorsport Collectors Edition”, with which the brand’s sports car department wants this high-tech road car to resemble something just as high-tech as a Formula 1 car. In this way, Mercedes-AMG has already taken design details from its Formula 1 team and creates this unique link through both exterior and interior styling.

The resemblance to the Mercedes-AMG single-seater is such that the bodywork of the GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ has been finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, with the stars of Mercedes hand-painted on the rear flanks, extending from the front wheel arches up to the roof just above the waistline. Added to this decoration is the characteristic Petronas colour as a contrast on the front splitter, the flics of the side air intakes of the front bumper, the decorative inserts of the side skirts and the rear diffuser.

All this decoration combines perfectly with the 21-inch AMG forged wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R Cup tyres, painted in Matt Black with the rim in Petronas colour, a colour also used for the brake calipers of the high-performance ceramic brake system fitted as standard, consisting of six-piston fixed calipers at the front and single-piston floating calipers at the rear. In addition, the AMG carbon-fibre exterior package is fitted for the splitter, side sills, diffuser and rear spoiler, together with the AMG Night II package with chrome black elements and, finally, a panoramic glass roof as standard.

Inside the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ “Motorsport Collectors Edition”, the standard AMG Performance seats are upholstered in black Nappa leather-Microfibre with contrasting stitching in Petronas colour, and the headrests feature embroidered AMG badges. This upholstery and colour combination is also used for the AMG Performance heated steering wheel, which also features carbon-fibre inserts. The Petronas-coloured stitching also appears on the door trims, the instrument cluster and the centre console, not forgetting that it is the colour chosen for the illumination of the door sills.

Standard equipment on the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ “Motorsport Collectors Edition” includes highly prized features such as the following:

• Burmester High End 3D surround sound system with 15 speakers and 1,170 watts of power
• 360º camera
• MBUX interior assistant
• Driver assistance package
• Head-Up Display
• AMG Track Pace
• Front axle lift system
• Ambient lighting
• Energizing package
• GUARD 360 vehicle surveillance system^or

To round off this exclusive work of art, there is a plaque on the centre console indicating which number of the 200 units being built this one is and, as a gift, a cover with a breathable synthetic-fibre outer fabric resistant to tearing and an antistatic flannel inner lining, personalised as it could hardly be otherwise.

Mechanically, it is worth recalling that it uses the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, capable of producing 612 CV and an impressive torque of 850 Nm, which, combined with its carefully studied and refined aerodynamics, allows it to go from 0 to 200 km/h in just 10.9 seconds, subsequently reaching a top speed of 317 km/h.
