- Mercedes has revealed a special edition F1-inspired version of its AMG GT coupe.
- The “Motorsport Collectors Edition” is limited to 200 units with hand-painted stars.
- Each car is based on the 603 hp 63 Pro, the new driver-focused model in the GT lineup.
Mercedes-AMG is getting its butt kicked in this year’s F1 Championship by McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari, and the German firm wants to celebrate that failure with a special “Motorsport Collectors Edition” of the AMG GT coupe.
Based around the 63 Pro 4 Matic+, a track-ready, but road-legal variant of the GT sports car introduced earlier this year, the new special edition is limited to 200 units. Each car wears a livery inspired by the one worn by AMG’s Petronas-sponsored F1 cars during this season, and also in 2023, when the team fared slightly better, coming second to (but still getting walloped by) Red Bull.

Speccing a GT in Obsidian Black metallic paint would normally make for a very stealthy ride, particularly when you throw in the usually-optional AMG Nite Package that swaps chrome for blacked-out brightwork. But this one features hand-painted stars across its tail and bright stripes in Petronas’ corporate aquamarine color.
The almost neon detailing picks out the side window graphics, the sills, the 21-inch wheel rims, and the front bumper air intakes, and is also used on the carbon brake system’s huge calipers. There are more aqua highlights inside, where the illuminated door sills, ambient lighting, and sports seats finished in a mix of Nappa leather and microfiber cloth all feature the signature Petronas hue.
F1 fans will get the connection but everyone else will be trying to work out whether you’re obsessed with 1980s sci-fi classic Tron, or still can’t move on from your Fast and Furious modifying days.
The F1 makeover doesn’t extend to the powertrain, whose focal point is the same 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 engine used in other GTs. But because it’s based on the GT Pro, the Collectors Edition makes 603 hp (612 PS), rather than the 576 hp (585 PS) the regular GT 63 4Matic+ puts out. AMG quotes zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds and a 197 mph (317 km/h) top end for the stock Pro, whose rear wing and front aero devices the special carries over.
AMG hasn’t revealed prices for the 200 cars, or whether any have been pre-sold, but we expect them to cost at least £180k/$200k.
