You know when you see a car and think, “Right, that’s not just a car, it’s a statement”? Well, Mercedes-AMG has done it again. Meet the AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ “Motorsport Collectors Edition,” a car that’s been dipped in Formula 1™ glory, limited to just 200 units, and sprinkled with just the right amount of madness. And by madness, I mean PETRONAS-coloured accents, a thunderous V8, and enough exclusivity to make even your billionaire neighbour jealous.
Formula 1™ Meets Obsidian Black.
Let’s start with the obvious. This car is black. Obsidian black metallic, to be exact, the same colour that Mercedes-AMG’s Formula 1™ cars wear when they’re tearing up the track. But they didn’t stop there. Oh no, they’ve hand-painted a star pattern across the rear flanks, with silver Mercedes stars twinkling like constellations. Then, they’ve added these PETRONAS-coloured stripes (because what’s a Mercedes-AMG without a nod to F1?) that run from the front fender all the way over the roof. The result? It looks like an F1 car that’s just left the pit lane and wandered onto the street.
And, just when you think they’re done, they slap on a set of 21-inch forged wheels finished in matte black with PETRONAS-coloured rim flanges. The attention to detail is absurd in the best possible way.
Brakes That Could Stop Time Itself
When you’re driving something as powerful as the GT 63 PRO, you’ll need to stop at some point. And Mercedes hasn’t skimped on that department either. The “Motorsport Collectors Edition” comes with AMG’s ceramic high-performance composite brakes, with six-piston fixed callipers at the front and one-piston floating callipers at the rear. Translation? These brakes could stop a freight train.
The front axle gets massive 420-millimetre brake discs, and let’s just say you’ll be glad they’re there when you’ve unleashed all 612 horsepower and need to avoid a speed camera. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tyres come standard, ready to grip the road like it owes them money.
Carbon Fiber and the AMG Night Package: A Match Made in Heaven
Of course, a car like this needs to flaunt its motorsport heritage, and the AMG Exterior Carbon Fibre package does exactly that. Carbon splitter, carbon trim strips, carbon rear wing—it’s practically dripping with it. This isn’t just for show either; all these bits help keep the car pinned to the road. Add the AMG Aerodynamics package, and you’ve got a machine that sticks to the tarmac better than chewing gum on a hot pavement.
And because it’s a “Motorsport Collectors Edition,” you get the AMG Night Package II, which adds black chrome touches to the radiator trim, badging, and even the fuel filler cap. It’s all designed to let you blend into the night while standing out in a crowd.
The Inside: PETRONAS Everywhere
Now, step inside, and you’re greeted with more PETRONAS-coloured accents than an F1 paddock. The seats are a mix of Nappa leather and MICROCUT microfibre, complete with topstitching that matches the car’s exterior. The steering wheel? Same treatment—MICROCUT leather with PETRONAS-coloured stitching. It’s like sitting in the lap of luxury with a dash of racetrack insanity.
The carbon fibre trim, illuminated AMG door-sill trims, and embossed AMG crests on the headrests make it clear this isn’t your average GT 63 PRO. And don’t forget the Burmester 3D Surround Sound System, blasting out 1,170 watts of pure aural delight. Whether you’re on a casual cruise or tearing up the autobahn, you’ll be treated to concert-hall-quality sound.
A 612 HP Beast with F1 DNA
Of course, it wouldn’t be an AMG without a beastly engine under the bonnet. The GT 63 PRO is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, putting out a staggering 612 horsepower. That’s enough to make most cars tremble in fear. And thanks to aerodynamic tweaks and a finely tuned cooling system, this car is more than ready to deliver an experience that’ll plaster a smile on your face (or possibly rip it off).
All this power is funnelled through AMG’s 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, ensuring that none of those 612 horses goes to waste. Plus, with the AMG Aerodynamics package keeping everything in check, you can push this car hard and feel the F1-inspired engineering at work.
Track-Ready Tech
The “Motorsport Collectors Edition” isn’t just about looking pretty. It’s packed with tech that makes it a legitimate track weapon. AMG TRACK PACE, for example, helps you analyse your lap times, while the front axle lift system keeps the car from scraping its chin on speed bumps. And because Mercedes-AMG loves to spoil its customers, you get a panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, and even the ENERGIZING package to keep you feeling fresh on long drives.
And let’s not forget the little badge on the centre console that reads “1 out of 200.” That’s right, only 200 of these beauties will be made. Each comes with its own bespoke AMG indoor car cover, just in case you want to keep it safe from dust in your garage (or your museum, if we’re being honest).
