Today, Mercedes-Benz India officially lifted the veil on the long-awaited AMG GT Coupe, and fans of speed couldn’t be happier. The reveal took place at a buzzing event in Mumbai, drawing car lovers, journalists, and a select group of lucky customers who all wanted a first look at this striking performance machine.
Welcome Back AMG GT
After almost five years out of the Indian market, the AMG GT Coupe is back and ready to impress. During that break, Mercedes-Benz didn’t sit still; the company has been busy refining every detail, making sure the new model hits the sweet spot for today’s luxury buyer. This fresh lineup includes the AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ and the even more powerful AMG GT 63 4MATIC+, both arriving as entirely built units (CBUs). That choice underlines the brand’s focus on exclusivity and top-tier craftsmanship, traits that enthusiasts expect from the three-pointed star.
“This new model really shows how serious Mercedes-Benz is about giving Indian drivers the best behind-the-wheel experience,” a senior executive said at the car’s rollout. “The AMG GT Coupe isn’t simply a vehicle; it’s a bold mix of power, comfort, and fresh tech.”
Powertrain and Performance: Engineering Excellence
Under the long hood of the AMG GT Coupe sits a beefy 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that roars with true Mercedes talent. The AMG GT 63 version cranks out a hearty 585 bhp and 800 Nm of torque, while the AMG GT 63 Pro turns the dial up to 612 bhp and 850 Nm. Both models are paired with a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission and feature the AMG 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, providing drivers with rock-solid grip regardless of the weather or road surface.
That level of engineering yields jaw-dropping performance numbers: the AMG GT 63 rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.3 seconds, and the Pro variant reduces that time to just 3.2 seconds. The top speed for the AMG GT 63 Pro hits a blistering 317 km/h, landing it firmly among the quickest luxury coupes you can buy in India.
Design and Practicality: A New Era for the AMG GT
The second-generation AMG GT Coupe might look like the same head-turning beast you’ve always loved, but there’s a significant change inside that’s hard to ignore: the shift from a traditional two-seater layout to a 2+2 seating arrangement. This upgrade makes the car far more practical for everyday use, allowing you to bring along an extra passenger or give your luggage a little more breathing room on longer trips—all without dulling the coupe’s signature sporty feel.
You can also see the new car’s larger dimensions the moment it rolls onto the street. Compared to the old model, it’s noticeably longer, wider, and slightly taller, all of which give the AMG GT a more imposing road presence. The exterior design marries aggressive aerodynamic touches—think gaping air ducts and a nearly vertical rear spoiler—with upscale styling elements, including slim LED headlights, an imposing front grille, and sinuous body lines that still exude speed.
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cabin that feels both luxurious and cutting-edge. Nappa leather covers just about everything, while bits of carbon-fibre trim catch the light and remind you this is a performance machine at heart. Behind the wheel is a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster, and the centre stack hosts a crisp 11.9-inch touchscreen running Mercedes’ latest MBUX infotainment system. If that’s not enough to impress you, the available Burmester 3D surround-sound system will transport you into your favourite playlist or podcast as if you’re sitting in a private concert hall.
Exclusive Features of the AMG GT 63 Pro
The AMG GT 63 Pro isn’t just another trim; it takes performance and luxury to the next level. For starters, the car comes equipped with a set of sleek 21-inch wheels that not only look stunning but also help the suspension hug the road more effectively. Underneath, you’ll find lightweight carbon-ceramic brakes that can handle repeated hard stops without fading, making them perfect for track days. The body is finely tuned with special aerodynamic parts—think bigger front splitters and adjustable rear wings—so it slices through the air like a race car. Inside, buyers can choose from unique paint colours and custom upholstery options that transform the cabin into a personal showcase, keeping the spirit of AMG alive and vibrant.
Pricing and Market Outlook
Mercedes-Benz India has pegged the price of the AMG GT 63 Coupe at around ₹3 crore, with the Pro variant expected to be slightly higher, although exact figures haven’t been released yet. That tag places it head-to-head with legendary rivals like the Porsche 911 Turbo, Aston Martin Vantage, and Audi RS series. Market experts view the launch as a smart move; it enables Mercedes to tap into a small but growing segment of Indian buyers who seek rare cars equipped with the latest technology and raw driving excitement. The buzz around the Pro model suggests that it could quickly become a sought-after trophy for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Strategic Growth and What Lies Ahead
When Mercedes-Benz India rolls out the AMG GT Coupe, it won’t just be a standalone event. The launch marks the beginning of a plan to introduce eight new models by 2025, encompassing a range of car categories that cater to all types of drivers. This bold move demonstrates the brand’s confidence in the Indian luxury market, which continues to grow due to rising incomes and shifting consumer aspirations.
“With the AMG GT Coupe, we’re delivering more than a vehicle; we’re offering a mix of luxury and heart-racing speed,” a company spokesperson explained. “We believe fans and collectors will respond to it loud and clear.”
Ordering and Availability
Customers can now place orders for the AMG GT Coupe at any Mercedes-Benz dealership nationwide. While official deliveries are scheduled to start in July 2025, only a limited number of cars will be available initially to maintain the model’s exclusivity. Interested buyers should contact an authorised dealer soon to secure their spot.
Final Thoughts
The arrival of the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe marks a significant milestone for luxury sports cars in India, combining blistering speed, sleek design, and everyday comfort. As Mercedes re-establishes its foothold with this flagship machine, car lovers here can eagerly await a driving experience that puts German engineering and customised luxury in their hands.
The AMG GT Coupe combines a roaring engine, cutting-edge tech, and bold looks, making it a future star on Indian highways. This car isn’t just built for speed; it’s designed to raise the bar for performance coupes nationwide.
