Tomorrow’s going to be a big day for speed junkies across India. Mercedes-Benz is finally pulling the wraps off two absolute monsters—the AMG GT 63 4Matic+ and its track-bred cousin, the GT 63 Pro 4Matic+. It’s been five long years since we last saw these performance beasts on our roads, and frankly, the wait has been killing us.
This isn’t just another car launch, though. It’s Mercedes-AMG’s way of saying they’re dead serious about India again. We’ve already seen them roll out the G Class Electric, EQS SUV 450, and that gorgeous Maybach SL 680 this year. The GT duo makes it five launches down, with three more still to come in their ambitious eight-model blitz for 2025.
Design and Dimensions
Here’s the thing about the new GT—it’s grown up, and we mean that literally. The second-gen model is a proper 182mm longer, 45mm wider, and sits 66mm taller than the car it replaces. The wheelbase? That’s been stretched by a whopping 70mm.
Now, before you start worrying about it losing its sports car edge, hear us out. These changes actually make sense. You finally get proper 2+2 seating instead of that cramped two-seater setup from before. Your friends won’t hate you for owning one anymore—well, at least not for the seating arrangement.
The styling still screams “I’m fast and I know it,” but there’s a maturity to it now. Think of it as the original GT’s older brother who’s been to the gym and learned some life lessons along the way. The aerodynamics have been tweaked too, because when you’re making this much power, every little bit of downforce helps.
Engine and Performance
Both cars pack the same legendary 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that’s become Mercedes-AMG’s calling card, but they’re tuned differently. The regular GT 63 pumps out a healthy 585hp and 800Nm of torque—numbers that would’ve been supercar territory just a decade ago.
But then there’s the Pro, and oh boy, does it mean business. With 612hp and 850Nm on tap, it’s got 27 more horses and 50Nm extra twist over its sibling. That might not sound like much on paper, but trust us, you’ll feel every single one of those ponies when you’re pinned to your seat.
Power gets shuffled through a new 9-speed dual-clutch gearbox to all four corners via the 4Matic+ system. The result? Both cars will hit 100kmph from standstill in just 3.2 seconds. That’s properly quick—the kind of acceleration that makes your stomach drop and your passengers go quiet.
The 0-200kmph sprint is where the Pro shows its teeth though. At 10.9 seconds, it’s half a second quicker than the standard GT 63. In the world of supercars, that’s a lifetime. Top speeds are limited to 315kmph and 317kmph respectively, because apparently someone at Mercedes thought going faster might be a tad irresponsible.
GT 63 Pro: The Track-Focused Beast
The Pro isn’t just about bragging rights at the traffic light. Mercedes-AMG has gone all-out with the upgrades here. Better cooling systems, bigger brakes, lighter wheels, and tyres that’ll stick to the road like they’re glued on.
The aerodynamics package is where things get really nerdy. Front lift is reduced by 30kg while downforce increases by 15kg compared to the regular GT 63. There are carbon fiber air deflectors, enlarged side intakes, and underbody aerodynamics inspired by the Mercedes-AMG ONE hypercar. Yes, that million-dollar Formula 1 car for the road.
It rolls on 21-inch forged wheels in Himalaya Grey Matte that look absolutely stunning. Standard tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport 5s, but if you’re planning serious track work, you can spec the more aggressive Pilot Sport Cup 2 Rs at no extra cost. Smart move, Mercedes.

Interior and Features
Step inside either car and you’ll notice they share their cabin DNA with the AMG SL 55. The AMG Performance seats hug you in all the right places, while the 12.3-inch instrument cluster and 11.9-inch portrait infotainment screen keep you connected to both the car and the outside world.
The Pro gets some extra goodies—those AMG Performance seats come standard, along with a Nappa leather steering wheel that feels just right in your hands. But honestly, the biggest win here is the extra space. The longer wheelbase means more room for your legs, and the boot is actually usable now. Revolutionary stuff for a supercar.
Technology and Dynamics
This is where the GT 63 Pro really flexes its muscles. AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilization sounds fancy, and it is. Add active rear-axle steering and the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ system, and you’ve got a car that can be a track weapon one moment and a comfortable cruiser the next.
The beauty of modern AMG engineering is that despite all this track-focused tech, these cars won’t beat you up on your daily commute. They’re properly civilized when you want them to be.
Pricing Expectations
Here’s where things get interesting. Mercedes hasn’t spilled the beans on pricing yet, but word on the street is both models will start north of Rs 3 crore, ex-showroom. The Pro will obviously command an even steeper premium—exclusivity doesn’t come cheap, after all.
Is it expensive? Absolutely. But when you consider what you’re getting—hand-built AMG V8, cutting-edge tech, and performance that’ll embarrass cars costing twice as much—it starts making sense. Sort of.
Tomorrow’s launch isn’t just about two new cars hitting the market. It’s Mercedes-AMG planting their flag firmly in Indian soil and saying, “We’re here to play.” Whether you’re planning weekend track sessions or just want the ultimate grand tourer that happens to have supercar performance, the GT 63 duo promises to deliver thrills by the bucketload.
The five-year wait is almost over. Tomorrow can’t come soon enough.
