Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has unveiled the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé and offered a first look at the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupé as Formula 1 returns to Malaysia.
Showcased at KLCC Plaza, the two high-performance models represent different expressions of Mercedes-AMG’s performance philosophy. The AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé combines a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine with enhanced cooling and aerodynamics, while the all-new AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupé brings AMG.EA architecture, axial-flux electric motors and an 800-volt electrical system to high-performance electric driving.
Mercedes-Benz Cars Malaysia & Head of Region, Mercedes-Benz Cars Southeast Asia CEO and President Martin Schulz said the two models reflect AMG’s pursuit of performance while offering different approaches to the high-performance driving experience.
With Formula 1 returning to Malaysia, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is also using the occasion to celebrate the brand’s motorsport heritage and performance technology with customers.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO: V8 Performance for the Track
At the heart of the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé is an AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine producing 450 kW, or 612 hp, and 850 Nm of torque.
The engine produces 20 kW more power than the AMG GT 63, while maximum torque has increased by 50 Nm. Power is transmitted through the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission.
The coupé accelerates from zero to 200 km/h in 10.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 317 km/h. Its 0–100 km/h acceleration time is 3.2 seconds.
The model is also engineered with racetrack performance in mind. Its enhanced cooling system features additional radiators in the front wheel arches, while the drivetrain’s differentials and transfer case are actively cooled. Revised air guides and brake cover plates also direct more airflow towards the brakes to help manage temperatures under heavy loads.
Aerodynamics and Handling Sharpen the Driving Experience
Mercedes-AMG has also reworked the GT 63 PRO’s aerodynamics to improve its handling at speed.
The redesigned front apron incorporates additional air deflectors, while the vehicle features an active aerodynamic profile in the underbody, AIRPANEL active air control and an aerodynamics package with a fixed rear wing.
Together, these measures reduce aerodynamic lift on the front axle by more than 30kg and increase rear-axle downforce by around 15kg. Additional underbody air deflectors, inspired by the Mercedes-AMG ONE, further help manage airflow.
The vehicle is equipped with AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilisation, rear-axle steering of up to 2.5 degrees and fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.
An AMG ceramic high-performance composite braking system with six-piston fixed callipers at the front and 420mm brake discs is designed to deliver strong braking performance and resistance to fading under heavy braking.
Motorsport-Inspired Design
The GT 63 PRO’s exterior further emphasises its motorsport character, with 21-inch AMG cross-spoke forged wheels, black-painted brake callipers and the AMG Night Package II.
An AMG Exterior Carbon Fibre package adds carbon-fibre elements to the front splitter, side sills, diffuser and fixed rear wing. Inside, AMG Performance seats in Nappa leather and MICROCUT microfibre are paired with a carbon-fibre steering wheel, AMG carbon-fibre trim and yellow seat belts.
The cabin also features Mercedes-Benz’s MBUX multimedia system, comprising a 12.3-inch driver display and 11.9-inch central display, alongside a head-up display, augmented-reality navigation and AMG TRACK PACE for analysing lap, sector and acceleration times on closed circuits.
For collectors, Mercedes-AMG is also offering a Motorsport Collectors Edition limited to 200 vehicles worldwide. Based on the GT 63 PRO, the edition features an obsidian black finish, PETRONAS-coloured exterior accents and a combination of AMG Carbon Fibre, Night and Aerodynamics packages.
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé is priced from an estimated RM2,088,888 in Peninsular Malaysia, while the Motorsport Collectors Edition is estimated at RM2,588,888.
AMG Enters the Electric Performance Era
Alongside the V8-powered GT 63 PRO, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has previewed the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupé, which is based on the high-performance AMG.EA architecture.
The electric performance model uses three axial-flux motors and delivers up to 860 kW, equivalent to 1,169 hp, with maximum torque of 2,000 Nm.
It accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds and has a top speed of 260 km/h. The vehicle is equipped with a 106 kWh battery, offering an electric range of up to 697km under the WLTP testing cycle.
800-Volt Battery and Rapid Charging
The AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupé’s AMG High Performance Electric Battery combines newly developed cylindrical cells, direct cooling for each individual cell and an 800-volt architecture.
The system is designed to support high continuous power, rapid energy absorption and stable performance under sustained loads.
With suitable charging infrastructure, the AMG Performance Charging system supports DC charging at up to 350 kW. The vehicle can charge from 10% to 80% in around 16 minutes at 350 kW, according to the manufacturer’s figures.
Mercedes-AMG has also developed AMGFORCE S+, a driving programme designed to provide an immersive V8-inspired experience in the electric vehicle. The system uses more than 1,600 sound files to dynamically recreate elements of a high-performance V8 soundscape according to driving conditions.
Software Meets High-Performance Driving
The electric GT 63 4-Door Coupé features the AMG RACE ENGINEER system, which coordinates the vehicle’s powertrain and driving-dynamics systems.
Its AMG RACE ENGINEER Core manages functions including the drive system, recuperation, energy, charging and thermal management, while the AMG RACE ENGINEER Control Unit allows drivers to adjust response, agility and traction characteristics.
The vehicle also features AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL air suspension with semi-active roll stabilisation and active rear-axle steering of up to six degrees. At speeds of up to 80 km/h, the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels for greater agility, while above 80 km/h they steer in the same direction to enhance stability.
Electric Performance with Grand-Tourer Comfort
The electric AMG GT’s exterior combines a low-slung fastback silhouette with a long bonnet, steeply raked windscreen and active aerodynamic elements.
Its AEROKINETICS system includes an active rear diffuser, Venturi Flow elements and an adjustable rear spoiler designed to manage airflow and downforce according to driving conditions.
Inside, the four-door coupé combines sports-car design with grand-tourer features. The cabin includes AMG Performance seats, carbon-fibre trim, a SKY CONTROL panoramic roof and a driver-focused display system comprising a 10.2-inch instrument cluster and 14-inch multimedia monitor, alongside a separate 14-inch passenger display.
Malaysian specifications also include MB.DRIVE ASSIST, a 360-degree camera, Blind Spot Assist, Distance Assist DISTRONIC, PARKTRONIC and GUARD 360° vehicle protection.
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupé is priced from an estimated RM1.29 million in Peninsular Malaysia.
Mercedes-AMG Celebrates Formula 1’s Return
The two AMG models arrive as Mercedes-Benz Malaysia marks Formula 1’s return to Malaysia for the first time since 2017.
The brand hosted the Mercedes-AMG F1 Party on 30 September at Raintree Plaza, The Exchange TRX, bringing together the performance and racing spirit associated with Mercedes-AMG. Special appearances from the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team were also planned for the invitation-only event.
With the new V8-powered GT 63 PRO and the electric GT 63 4-Door Coupé, Mercedes-AMG is showcasing two distinct approaches to high-performance driving in Malaysia, from track-focused combustion performance to its latest electric performance architecture.
