Mercedes-Benz Malaysia recently introduced the new Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance as part of its Luxury Showcase. The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC, the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4MATIC and the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 4MATIC Coupe were also displayed alongside the performance car.
The Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E PERFORMANCE F1 Edition is the Affalterbach brand’s most powerful production model to date thanks to technology transfer from Formula 1. The innovative hybrid concept with an electric motor and AMG High Performance battery on the rear axle combines superior system performance of 150 kW (204 hp) with impressive driving dynamics and high efficiency. Mercedes-AMG reaffirms its close ties to the F1 team with this special model and equips the “F1 Edition” with exclusive exterior and interior features.
The “F1 Edition” can be recognised at first glance by the paintwork. It is an exclusive combination of the paintwork in non-metallic MANUFAKTUR alpine grey and the foiling with AMG logo and colour gradient from grey to black as well as the red colour accents. This includes the 21-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke forged wheels, AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre and AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package which bundles high-performance components for a noticeable and visible plus in sportiness.
The AMG Aerodynamics package developed in the wind tunnel improves handling characteristics at high speeds and lays the foundation for even more driving performance. The attachments increase the negative lift force while reducing drag. The fixed rear aerofoil in high gloss black demonstrates a clear commitment to uncompromising performance.
The AMG Night Package Exterior and the AMG Night Package II also enhance the dynamic appearance of the “F1 Edition”. The front splitter and trim elements in the front wings, exterior mirror housings, side edge trim and window surrounds are finished in high-gloss black.
There is also the trim strip in the rear apron and twin tailpipe trims of the AMG exhaust system in black chrome. The darkened AMG-specific radiator grille and model badges on the boot lid and wings in black chrome complete the exclusive appearance.
The interior is characterised by the contrast of black and red. The AMG Performance seats with Exclusive Nappa leather upholstery in black with red decorative stitching follow this sporty look, as do the seat belts in red and the exclusive AMG carbon-fibre trim elements with red thread.
The AMG performance steering wheel in nappa leather / MICROCUT microfibre and the AMG illuminated door sills with “AMG” lettering and with exchangeable cover. The final touches are the exclusive floor mats for special model.
To protect the valuable vehicle, each customer also receives a customised AMG Indoor Car Cover with F1 logo. With its breathable outer paneling made of tear-resistant synthetic fibre fabric and antistatic inner fabric made of flannel, it protects the vehicle in the garage from dust and scratches.
The Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance F1 Edition is priced from RM2,118,888 on the road with insurance. The 4.0-litre V8 engine produces 639hp and 900Nm of torque, achieving 0-100kph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 319kph. Yes, money can indeed buy power.
