🏁 Mercedes‑AMG GT 63 & GT 63 PRO Make a Grand Return to India

Introduction

Mercedes-Benz India has reintroduced two of its most powerful and luxurious four-door coupes—the Mercedes‑AMG GT 63 and the Mercedes‑AMG GT 63PRO. These performance-focused vehicles, known globally for their extraordinary engineering, are designed to offer the thrill of a supercar with the comfort of a luxury sedan. With growing enthusiasm among Indian auto enthusiasts for performance machines, Mercedes’ decision to bring these beasts back to the market signals its strong commitment to performance luxury in India.

The Mercedes‑AMG GT 63 series sits at the pinnacle of AMG engineering, combining brute power, dynamic handling, and cutting-edge technology. Whether it’s for track use, long-distance drives, or just turning heads in the city, these models offer something few others can.

🏎️ Quick Specs Overview

Mercedes‑AMG GT 63: A Supercar with Four Doors

At first glance, the Mercedes‑AMG GT 63 exudes dominance. The coupe styling with a fastback silhouette and wide stance sets the tone even before you hit the ignition. Under the hood lies a hand-assembled 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine—one of AMG’s most praised powerplants.

• Engine: 4.0L V8 Biturbo
• Power Output: 639 hp
• Torque: 900 Nm
• Acceleration: 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds
• Top Speed: 315 km/h

This is not just raw power—it’s usable, adaptable, and highly responsive, thanks to Mercedes’ 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system and advanced AMG Ride Control+ air suspension. The system intelligently distributes torque across all wheels, enhancing grip and agility in all driving conditions.

Mercedes‑AMG GT 63 PRO: Built for the Track

The PRO version ups the ante further. Developed for motorsport enthusiasts, it includes several upgrades over the standard GT 63. Carbon-fiber components help reduce weight, while aerodynamic enhancements like an active front splitter and a fixed rear wing provide additional downforce.

While it shares the same V8 engine, the PRO variant has optimized cooling systems and revised ECU mappings for even sharper performance on track. It’s the ideal choice for those who plan to take their AMG to the circuit on weekends without compromising daily drivability.

Additional enhancements include:

• Reinforced suspension for sharper cornering
• Ceramic composite brakes
• Track-optimized cooling systems
• Carbon-fiber roof, splitter, and diffuser

Design Excellence: Sporty Yet Sophisticated

The GT 63 series beautifully merges sportiness with elegance. From its Panamericana front grille and Multibeam LED headlamps to the sloping rear roofline and quad exhaust tips, the car is a visual stunner. Each design element serves a purpose—either to reduce drag or to improve airflow and cooling.

Inside, it’s a blend of motorsport-inspired functionality and luxury:

• Dual 12.3-inch digital screens (driver display and infotainment)
• AMG-specific MBUX interface with AI-based voice control
• Nappa leather upholstery and contrast stitching
• Carbon fiber inserts and illuminated door sills
• AMG steering wheel with drive mode selectors

Despite its performance credentials, the GT 63 retains enough comfort to be used as a daily driver. Rear passengers get ample legroom, and the boot space is generous for a sports coupe.

Technology Meets Safety

No modern Mercedes is complete without a suite of tech innovations. The Mercedes‑AMG GT 63 range includes:

• Driving Assistance Package: Adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring
• 360-degree Camera: For better maneuverability in tight spots
• Burmester 3D Surround Sound: Premium audio experience
• Ambient Lighting: Multiple color options for cabin mood
• Head-Up Display: Real-time driving data on the windshield
• Smartphone Integration: Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

You also get AMG Dynamic Select with multiple drive modes—Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Race—altering throttle response, exhaust sound, gear shifts, and suspension settings.

Ownership Experience and Pricing in India

Mercedes-Benz India has opened bookings for both models. The brand’s AMG Performance Centres will handle exclusive test drives, customization options, and personalized ownership packages.

• Mercedes‑AMG GT 63: ₹2.70 crore (ex-showroom)
• AMG GT 63 PRO: ₹3.10 crore (ex-showroom)

Buyers can also avail of AMG Track Day experiences and enroll in the AMG Driving Academy to make the most of their purchase.

Competition and Market Segment

In the Indian market, the GT 63 competes with other high-performance luxury sedans like:

• Porsche Panamera Turbo S
• BMW M8 Gran Coupe
• Audi RS7 Sportback

What gives Mercedes an edge is its combination of track-oriented performance, daily drivability, and the cachet of the AMG badge. The GT 63 is not only more powerful in many specs but also boasts a better ride-and-handling balance for Indian roads.

Why It Matters in the Indian Context

India’s performance luxury car segment is still niche but growing fast. Buyers today are more informed, aspirational, and open to spending on high-end cars that reflect their lifestyle and offer more than just comfort.

The GT 63 series is not just a car—it’s an experience. With Mercedes-Benz offering top-tier after-sales support, ownership becomes seamless even for vehicles of this calibre.

Final Verdict: A Rare Breed of Performance Luxury

If you’re looking for a machine that can dominate the racetrack and still glide through city traffic in comfort, the Mercedes‑AMG GT 63 and GT 63 PRO deliver the best of both worlds. With immense power, intelligent features, unmatched design, and everyday usability, these models elevate the concept of a performance coupe.

Whether you’re a hardcore petrolhead or a luxury car enthusiast, this launch from Mercedes-AMG redefines what it means to drive fast and live large.
