Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) has launched three new exciting models earlier today at the Sepang International Circuit in the form the new 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+, Mercedes-AMG C 63 S and C 63 S Coupe. These models represent the next-generation V8 engines with more power and driving dynamics than ever before.
Coming in at almost RM2 million (RM1,798,888 to be exact), the GT 63 S is essentially a race machine that has been made street legal without comprising any of the manic power output and driving experience. Birthed to tear up any circuit in the world, the youngest member of the Mercedes-AMG family has been further refined with driving comforts similar fitted for the Gran Turismo badge.
Under the hood sits an incredibly powerful AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine which has been enhanced to produce 639hp and 900Nm of manic torque output. The GT 63 S is even crazier with the fact that all its torque is readily available from as low as 2,500rpm.
The end results? 0-100km/h in just 3.2 seconds and the capability to hit 315km/h top speed without breaking too much sweat. The four-door monster is also available in the more modest Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4MATIC+ variant which comes with a 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine. Even that produces a whopping 435hp that kicks it up to 285km/h.
There’s also the Mercedes-AMG GT 43 4 MATIC+ which produces 367hp and 500Nm of torque. It might look like it’s a world apart form the GT 63 S but 0-100km/h is cleared in just 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 270km/h. No matter which Mercedes-AMG GT you opt, there’s no doubt that you’ll have enough power in your hands to ‘tear it up’.

There’s also the AMG TRACK PACE captures and analyses in detail over 80 vehicle-specific data as well as times on the racetrack. AMG TRACK PACE is an additional function of the COMAND Online infotainment system and is part of the standard equipment for the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé.
Most folks would call this a 4-door coupe that not only has monstrous amounts of power but also offers great sports ambience and sense of space. Dynamic remains the perfect word to summarise the new Mercedes-AMG addition, both inside and out.
Adapting the Sensual Purity design philosophy, the new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupe probably has one of the best proportions in its category that not only shows off the car’s true elegance but at the same time all that muscle to be showcased once you put the pedal to the metal.
