The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupéis now available to order
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupé is available from £164,765 OTR.
The top model in the Mercedes-AMG range combines highly dynamic driving characteristics with increased suitability for everyday use.
All models are fitted with the AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine and AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission. Assembled entirely by hand in Affalterbach, Germany according to the ‘one man, one engine’ philosophy, the twin-turbocharged engine produces 585 PS (430 kW) and 800 Nm in the GT 63 4MATIC+. Modifications compared to the previous model include a new oil pan, repositioned intercooler, active crankcase ventilation and optimised intake and exhaust ducts. The nine-speed wet-clutch automatic transmission is specially tuned to guarantee the fastest possible shift times. Acceleration from 0-62 mph takes just 3.2 seconds and the top speed is up to 195 mph.
Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé Performance and Launch Edition models are equipped with the AMG high-performance ceramic composite braking system, with bronze-painted callipers and brake discs measuring 420 × 39 millimetres at the front and 360 × 32 millimetres at the rear. The AMG GT Coupé Premium Plus is fitted with ventilated and perforated composite brake discs measuring 390 x 36 mm at the front, with yellow-painted 6-piston fixed callipers, and 360 x 26 mm at the rear, with single-piston floating callipers.
The new Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé benefits from extensive active aerodynamic elements. The active aerodynamic profile, concealed almost invisibly in the underbody in front of the engine, creates a Venturi effect that draws the car into the road and reduces front axle lift by around 50 kilograms at 155mph. On Premium Plus models, a retractable spoiler is integrated into the vehicle’s silhouette. It can adopt five different angles above 50mph depending on driving conditions.
AMG GT Coupé Performance and Launch Edition models are specified with the AMG Aerodynamics package in high-gloss black, which further reduces the lift on the front axle and increases the downforce on the rear axle. It includes additional front flicks on the outer air intakes and wheel arches. At the rear, airflow is optimised with side flicks on the rear apron, a larger diffuser attachment and a fixed rear wing.
Exterior design
The exterior design of the new Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé combines the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy of sensual clarity with the sporty DNA of AMG. The long wheelbase, the short overhangs and the steeply inclined windscreen with black-painted frame make the new AMG GT Coupé appear compact and low, while typical AMG GT proportions such as the long bonnet and the rear offset passenger compartment signal the appearance of a luxurious sports car that is also highly suitable for everyday use.
Premium Plus models are equipped with 21-inch five-twin-spoke forged alloy wheels in matte black and both AMG Night packages. AMG Night package I introduces high-gloss black finishes for components such as the front splitter, mirror housings, side sill panels, rear apron and tailpipe trims. AMG Night package II adds black chrome finishes for the radiator grille, all model badges and the Mercedes-Benz star mounted on the rear of the vehicle.
The AMG GT Coupé is available in 11 body colours, including exclusive MANUFAKTUR finishes such as Patagonia Red, Alpine Grey Solid and Spectral Blue MAGNO.
