Mercedes-Benz UK has lifted the curtain on their latest automotive triumph, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé, a car that marries notable performance with everyday usability in a package that is quintessentially Mercedes-AMG. Now available to order in the United Kingdom, this car is set to redefine the standards of the high-performance luxury coupé market.
With a starting price of £164,765, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé is available in three distinct and luxurious specifications: Premium Plus, Performance, and the exclusive Launch Edition. At the heart of this automotive marvel is a hand-assembled AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, a testament to AMG’s ‘one man, one engine’ philosophy. This engine is not just a powerhouse, delivering an awe-inspiring 585 PS (430 kW) and 800 Nm of torque, but it’s also a symbol of meticulous craftsmanship and engineering excellence. The car’s acceleration is exhilarating, reaching 0-62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 195 mph.
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé is more than a high-performance machine; it’s an intelligent beast. The fully variable AMG performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, coupled with AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension featuring semi-active roll stabilisation, ensures that the car adapts to all driving conditions with ease. This, along with active rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics, makes the car as agile and responsive as it is fast.
But the ingenuity of this car doesn’t stop there. Mercedes-AMG has made significant enhancements in practicality and comfort, making the GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé suitable for everyday use. The two-plus-two seating layout in the Premium Plus and Performance models, along with improved all-round visibility, provides a level of comfort and convenience rare in cars of this class.
Under the hood, the engineering prowess of the AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé continues to shine. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission is a marvel of mechanical engineering, delivering lightning-fast shift times and seamless power delivery. The transmission’s tuning is so precise that it enhances the overall driving experience, ensuring that power is always available when needed.
The intelligence of the car extends to its AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive and active rear-axle steering. These systems work in harmony to provide optimal torque distribution and superb handling characteristics. The car’s agility is further enhanced by the standard lift system for the front axle, which raises the car by up to 30 millimetres, enabling it to navigate speed bumps and inclines with ease.
The Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé’s braking system is as impressive as its acceleration. The Performance and Launch Edition models feature the AMG high-performance ceramic composite braking system. This system provides exceptional stopping power and is a crucial component in ensuring the car’s dynamic performance is matched by its safety.
The car’s active aerodynamics are not just functional; they also contribute to its aesthetic appeal. The aerodynamic profile and retractable spoiler are integrated seamlessly into the car’s design, enhancing its sporty yet elegant appearance. The AMG Aerodynamics package, available on Performance and Launch Edition models, further reduces lift and increases downforce, improving the car’s high-speed stability and handling.
The exterior design of the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé is a study in balance and beauty. It embodies the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy of sensual purity, combined with the sporty DNA of AMG. The car’s proportions – from its long bonnet to the steeply inclined windscreen – exude luxury and sportiness.
The interior of the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé is a haven of luxury and sophistication. The two-plus-two seating layout not only makes the car more practical for everyday use but also provides an additional level of comfort for passengers. The choice of high-quality Nappa leather upholstery adds a touch of elegance, while the latest-generation MBUX infotainment system offers a wealth of information and entertainment options.
Technology is at the forefront in the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé. The MBUX infotainment system, with its 11.9-inch portrait-format touchscreen, provides extensive AMG-specific content. The AMG Performance menu offers a wide range of data, from power distribution to tyre pressure and fluid temperatures. AMG TRACK PACE, the virtual race engineer, is standard and records over 80 vehicle-specific data points, offering insights into the car’s performance on the racetrack.
The Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé is not just about performance; it’s also about safety and convenience. Standard features include DIGITAL LIGHT LED headlamps, a head-up display, Burmester Surround Sound system, and a Parking package with a 360° camera. The Driving Assistance Package offers additional safety systems, ensuring that the car is as safe as it is exhilarating to drive.
In conclusion, the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé is a car that doesn’t just set new standards in the high-performance luxury coupé segment; it redefines them. It is a vehicle that combines raw power with advanced technology, luxurious comfort with practicality, and stunning design with unparalleled performance. It is, without a doubt, a car that promises to deliver an unforgettable driving experience, wrapped in the opulence and elegance that is synonymous with Mercedes-AMG.
