The Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro is purpose-built as a track machine.
While the regular Mercedes-AMG GT63 is certainly no slouch, the automaker debuted a more potent, more track-focused version on Thursday: the GT63 Pro. It’s still a purely V8-powered variant of the second-generation GT63, just with a bit more grunt and upgrades to the cooling system, aerodynamics, brakes and tires to offer a more hardcore option that isn’t quite as berserk as the forthcoming plug-in hybrid AMG GT63 S E-Performance, with its 831 horsepower output.
This new version of Mercedes’ flagship coupe emerged at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, promising a “sportier driving experience” while still maintaining some level of everyday usability. Starting with the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro offers up 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque — an increase of 26 hp and 37 lb-ft over your standard GT63. That drops the 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h) time by half a second, down to 10.9 seconds. As far as 0-60 acceleration goes, the automaker estimates a 3.1-second time, which is the same as the standard GT63.
According to the official statement, the main goal with the GT63 Pro isn’t so much outright speed, though it can still do 197 mph. Instead, agility is the name of the game, so this model has a different front fascia with carbon fiber air deflectors around the larger air intakes. It also gets an “Airpanel” active air control system in the front, as well as a fixed rear wing courtesy of the standard AMG Aerodynamics Package. The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro also sees upgraded cooling circuits, with radiators mounted in each of the front wheel arches and two more for the front and rear differentials. Engineers tweaked the geometry on the underbody air vanes and revised the cover plates to optimize airflow to the carbon ceramic brakes.
Speaking of the brakes, the GT63 Pro houses 16.5-inch front rotors with six-piston calipers, which are the largest brakes Mercedes-AMG currently fits to its cars. The carbon ceramic rotors also get titanium backs, reducing unsprung weight while also ensuring better resistance to brake fade. Finally, this version gets 21-inch forged split-spoke wheels fitted with a staggered set of Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires. Those tires measure out to 295/30-ZR21 at the front, and 305/30-ZR21 at the rear, while you can also opt for a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s as a no-cost option.
Pricing is not available for the Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro just yet. The first customers will see their cars early next year, though, so we should have more information in the coming months. Presently, the regular GT63 starts at $153,350, so I’d expect a decent premium above that if you want the Pro.
