The AMG® GT 63 APXGP Edition combines a 577-hp handcrafted V8 biturbo engine, F1-inspired Race Gold livery applied by hand, track-ready aerodynamics, and a motorsport-grade suspension system — all in a 2+2 grand tourer built for real-world driving.

Race Gold Details That Command Attention 

The exterior of the APXGP Edition is not merely styled — it is painted and finished as a direct tribute to the film's F1 car livery. Artisans at Mercedes-AMG® painstakingly apply each Race Gold accent by hand. As a result, no two examples are precisely alike in their final expression. 

Those golden accents appear on the radiator grille frame, front wings in a checkered-flag design, side skirts, rear apron, and diffuser blade. The 21-inch AMG® Forged Cross-Spoke wheels are finished in matte Race Gold, forming a bold contrast against the black brake calipers of the AMG® ceramic brake system. Three included packages — the AMG® Exterior Carbon Fiber package, the AMG® Aerodynamics package, and the AMG® Night Package II, further intensify the motorsport character. Carbon fiber and black chrome accents appear throughout, and the panoramic glass roof adds a cinematic view from within. 

Inside, the AMG® Performance seats are trimmed in black Nappa leather and microfiber with gold contrast stitching. The AMG® Performance steering wheel in microfiber also carries gold stitching, with black 12 o'clock markings for track-ready reference. MANUFAKTUR door sills with black and gold AMG® lettering complete an interior that is as purposeful as it is breathtaking. 

From the Silver Screen to Scottsdale 

Only 52 of these extraordinary machines exist on the planet. Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale — your premier destination for AMG® performance in Scottsdale, AZ — invites you to discover the 2026 Mercedes-AMG® GT 63 APXGP Edition. This coupe is, above all, a direct answer to the question of what makes the AMG® GT 63 APXGP Edition unique: it is the only production car ever built to embody a Formula 1® film car from the ground up. 

The inspiration comes from the blockbuster film F1, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris as drivers for the fictional APXGP team. Mercedes-AMG® supported the production with engineering expertise, real performance vehicles, and an artistic vision that ultimately gave birth to this limited edition. Furthermore, the APXGP Edition debuted at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix — a fitting stage for a car with genuine motorsport DNA. 

Mercedes of Scottsdale understands that clients at this level don't simply buy a car. They acquire a piece of history. 

A V8 That Performs Like a Purpose-Built Race Machine 

At the heart of this coupe sits the reason performance enthusiasts stop mid-sentence: a handcrafted AMG® 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine producing 577 horsepower and approximately 590 lb-ft of torque. Therefore, the sprint from 0 to 60 mph takes roughly 3.1 seconds, placing the APXGP Edition firmly in supercar territory. 

Power delivery, however, is only part of the story. The AMG® Performance 4MATIC+® fully variable all-wheel-drive system continuously adapts torque distribution for maximum grip — whether cornering on a track or cruising through Scottsdale. Meanwhile, the AMG® High Performance Carbon Ceramic Brake System provides exceptional stopping power that matches the engine's intensity. 

For those who take their driving seriously, AMG TRACK PACE actively analyzes performance data in real time. The system consequently helps drivers identify where time is lost on a circuit and how to sharpen their technique lap by lap. Additionally, AMG® ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilization and active rear-axle steering ensures that precision handling is never a compromise — it's a given. 

Practical Enough for Every Day, Thrilling Enough for the Track 

One of the most compelling aspects of this car is its dual personality. Despite its motorsport-first engineering, the AMG® GT 63 APXGP Edition is genuinely livable. The 2+2 seating configuration and ample cargo space mean that Mercedes-Benz Scottsdale clients can enjoy this coupe on a Sunday drive as readily as a track day. 

Moreover, a front axle lift system raises the vehicle to clear speed bumps and steep driveways — a thoughtful feature that removes the hesitation of daily use. The Burmester® High-End 3D Surround Sound System, meanwhile, transforms every cabin moment into its own performance. Whether the road ahead is a canyon run or a boulevard cruise, the APXGP Edition rises to every occasion without sacrificing its track credentials.
