Absolutely Magnificent in every aspect!
Well done Mercedes, well done.

At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, Mercedes-AMG introduced the latest powerhouse in its lineup: the AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+, following the release of its GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE earlier this year.

The AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ stands out with its impressive engineering upgrades. The Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine now delivers 603 hp, an increase of 26 hp from its predecessor. and 627 lb-ft of torque. These enhancements enable the GT 63 PRO to accelerate from 0 to 125 mph in 10.9 seconds, with a top speed of 197 mph.
Aerodynamic fine-tuning and a robust cooling system are key highlights of the new AMG GT 63 PRO. The front fascia features a unique design with carbon fiber air deflectors and enlarged side air intakes, reducing aerodynamic lift on the front axle by over 66 lbs. Additional air deflectors on the underbody, inspired by the Mercedes-AMG ONE, accelerate airflow to enhance stability and performance. The extensively expanded cooling package includes new radiators in the front wheel arches and top-mounted radiators for the differentials and transfer case, ensuring optimal temperatures even under intense conditions.

The 2025 AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ is equipped with advanced technology to refine the driving experience. Features like the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilization, active rear-axle steering and AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive provide unparalleled control and agility. Despite its racetrack-ready capabilities, the GT 63 PRO also offers everyday practicality with a comfortable interior, available 2+2 seating and a high degree of usability.

With the standard AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber Package, customers will get a front splitter, side sill trims, rear diffuser and rear wing made from high-quality carbon fiber. The car rides on 21-inch forged wheels finished in Himalaya Grey Matte, paired with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires, with the option for extreme performance Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires at no additional cost. Inside, the AMG Performance seats and Nappa leather steering wheel emphasize luxury and sportiness.

The AMG GT PRO is set to arrive at U.S. dealers sometime in 2025, with MSRP yet to be announced at the time of writing.

Not a big fan of iPhone naming convention for cars, what's next "Max", "Pro Max", "Ultra"...?

Looks good as always from MB.

How could they allow a pure ICE car into the market? It doesn’t fit their narrative.

Hopefully the M17x rear main seal doesn’t blow. It’s a feature of the engine.

The iPad though.

This. The interior is the only part that doesn't wow me. The rest of the car is awesome.

The new Mercedes Pixel Pro or the stage name for a stripper?

This is the only issue I have. Unfortunately... This horrible trend that Tesla started, continues to plague designs today.
the car itself is stunning. I've seen a few on the Road. Not this version.

So beautiful, but I'm sure so damn heavy, which is why the weight is missing from their release.

Fat.

Meh.

Yep...the original GT was made to go head to head with a 911 and be their halo car for handling. They kept adding weight and even though it looks similar to the original, it's a totally different chassis and purpose now. It's gained around 1000lbs...

Ahem

I don’t follow Mercedes. The central display and instrument display are atrocious. Is that what the S class has? Unimaginable to me it could be that ugly.

I love the look of the car and would love to get some time behind the wheel. My big issue with MB generally is the depreciation.

[chassis]

MBs depreciate like a lead balloon because their reliability is from the early 1950s.

Very true. It is a stunning design, period.

I thought the rear main seal & oil separator issue was limited to the M177 LS2 in the E63 & M176 in the G wagon & S class. Does the Aston Martin have the same issue as well?

Looks like a scary fast 2 door GT coupe but the previous GT coupe (C190) was on another level

It has been reported on the C63, so that means C, E, S and G. GLE/S don't seem to have reports yet. This gives the notion that the crappy oil vapor tube plumbing/routing and crappy oil vapor separator chamber failure are vehicle-installation dependent. Tube length, diameter, rise/fall geometry and temperature gradient are all important factors. The issue is that oil condenses inside the cheap crappy plastic parts and creates blockage or stuck-open check valves. Condensation is vapor velocity, tube geometry and thermal gradient dependent.

I don't follow Aston sites. By way of comparison, no OVS failures reported on Audi/Porsche installations for the latest EA839 V6 and EA825 V8 engines which use similar design architectures including OVS/PCV. There have been OVS gasket leak reports, but these are trivial to replace and don't take down the rear main crankshaft oil seal like MB has designed into the M17x.

By way of another comparison and closer to home, I have read no B48 OVS/PCV failures, and none that cause serious collateral damage the way MB's failed solution causes.

[kudos]

Mercedes lost any ability to have class in its design and now it has a gaudy mess of a dash for tasteless people. Sad too, because their exterior is above average. The only people who want that dash are cryptobro's and middle aged moms who stare at Instagram all day.
