Let’s dive into what makes this car a standout in the AMG lineup.
Key Highlights

- Enhanced Cooling: Double high-temperature radiators and separate coolers for front and rear differentials.
- Aerodynamic Upgrades: Features a fixed rear wing and additional air deflectors for better airflow.

- Advanced Dynamics: Includes rear-axle steering, limited-slip differential, and adaptive dampers.
Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro 4-Matic: Engine Performance Enhancements
The AMG GT63 Pro 4-Matic retains the robust 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine, now generating 603 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. This is a significant upgrade, providing an extra 26 hp and 37 pound-feet of torque compared to the previous model. The car maintains its 3.1-second acceleration to 60 mph but improves its 0-124 mph time by 0.5 seconds, reaching the mark in just 10.9 seconds.
Cooling enhancements are a major focus, with double high-temperature radiators at the front and dedicated coolers for the differentials. The electronically controlled transfer case, which distributes torque, also benefits from active cooling, ensuring optimal performance on the track.
Aerodynamics and Design
The GT63 Pro features a fixed rear wing in naked carbon fiber, larger side intakes, and air deflectors under the car to improve aerodynamic efficiency. These changes reduce aerodynamic lift by up to 66 pounds at the front axle and increase downforce by 33 pounds at the rear. Standard 21-inch forged alloy wheels and the option of track-biased tires further enhance its track capabilities.
Advanced Features
The Pro retains several active dynamic systems from the regular GT63, including rear-axle steering, an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, and adaptive dampers with hydraulic cross-linking. These systems work together to provide superior handling and stability, especially during high-speed cornering.
Market Availability
Unlike some limited-edition models, the AMG GT63 Pro 4-Matic will be available for general purchase. This allows car enthusiasts and potential buyers to decide its popularity and demand in the market.
