Mercedes-AMG brings V8, electric firepower as F1 returns to Malaysia
MERCEDES-Benz Malaysia has brought two very different interpretations of high-performance motoring to the local market with the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Pro 4Matic+ Coupé and a preview of the all-new AMG GT 63 four-door coupé.
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has introduced two distinct high-performance vehicles to the local market as Formula 1 returns to Malaysia. The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Pro 4Matic+ Coupé and the preview of the all-new AMG GT 63 four-door coupé showcase the brand's approach to performance at opposite ends of the powertrain spectrum. The GT 63 Pro 4Matic+ Coupé is powered by an AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, producing 450 kW (612 hp) and 850 Nm of torque.
In contrast, the electric AMG.EA architecture of the AMG GT 63 four-door offers up to 860 kW (1,169 hp). Both models emphasize performance, with the Pro model accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and the electric GT 63 reaching a top speed of 317 km/h. The Pro model's aerodynamic changes reduce front-axle lift by over 30kg and the rear wing increases rear-axle downforce by about 15kg.
The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 four-door features an all-electric powertrain, with a focus on high performance and electric efficiency, while the Pro model maintains a traditional V8 engine for a more conventional driving experience.
