The raw, unadulterated thunder of the German V8 engine isn't going anywhere just yet. Mercedes-Benz India has dropped a massive double-whammy for speed purists by launching the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ and the hardcore, track-weaponized GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé.
Starting at a cool ₹3 Crore, these second-generation flagship sportscars bring genuine F1-derived active aerodynamics and a savage handcrafted powerplant to Indian asphalt. It is an unapologetic love letter to the wealthy enthusiast who refuses to compromise on absolute mechanical performance.
The Power of the V8: Standard vs PRO
At the heart of both machines lies the legendary "One Man, One Engine" handcrafted 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. In the standard GT 63, this twin-scroll engine punches out an incredible 585 hp and 800 Nm of torque, skyrocketing from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.2 seconds.
If you opt for the track-focused GT 63 PRO, those figures climb to an absolute peak of 612 hp and 850 Nm of torque due to increased boost pressure. Thanks to sticky, factory-fitted sport cup tyres, the PRO variant cracks the 0 to 100 kmph sprint in a blistering 3.1 seconds before maxing out at 317 km/h.
F1 Aerodynamics and Physics-Defying Handling
For the first time in India, the GT 63 family features a fully variable all-wheel-drive system complete with a dedicated 'Drift Mode' that routes 100% of the power exclusively to the rear wheels. It also introduces an active underbody aerodynamic element that opens above 100 kmph, creating a Venturi effect that sucks the nose of the car closer to the tarmac.
The GT 63 PRO takes this further with an aggressive Carbon Package that cuts front axle lift by over 30 kg and increases rear high-speed downforce. Both models come equipped with standard active rear-axle steering and AMG Active Ride Control suspension with hydraulic roll stabilization instead of traditional anti-roll bars.

Track Cooling and Everyday Usability
To survive grueling hot laps on Indian racetracks, the GT 63 PRO incorporates a highly sophisticated active cooling package. It features dedicated radiators mounted directly inside the front wheel arches along with electric water pumps to continuously cool the front and rear differentials.
Surprisingly, Mercedes has also dramatically enhanced the everyday usability of this supercar generation. The cabin is now spacious enough to comfortably accommodate rear passengers up to 1.5 meters tall, and features an advanced MBUX infotainment setup with integrated AMG TRACK PACE telemetry tracking.
Pricing and Market Launch Details
The entry into this elite performance club requires a serious financial commitment from buyers. The standard Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ is priced at ₹3 Crore, while the hardcore GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ commands ₹3.65 Crore (both prices ex-showroom, all-India).
Deliveries for the standard GT 63 have successfully rolled out since late 2025, while the extreme GT 63 PRO variants are currently making their way to Indian garages in early 2026. To complement the launch, Mercedes-Benz India is introducing exclusive track experiences at premium domestic racing circuits for its elite clients.
AkulRide Verdict: Are They Game-Changers?
The new AMG GT 63 twins are an absolute masterclass in dual-personality engineering. By wrapping a brutal, motorsport-derived V8 in a body that you can comfortably drive to a weekend luxury resort, Mercedes has created the ultimate grand tourer. While the price tags are stratospheric, the mechanical depth, active aero wizardry, and savage acceleration make these the definitive sports cars to beat this year.
