This carbon profile is an exclusive, patented AMG development. It reacts to the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs and automatically lowers by approximately 1.6 inches at a speed of 50 mph. This creates a Venturi effect, which sucks the car onto the road and reduces front axle lift.

Another active component is the retractable rear spoiler that is seamlessly integrated into the trunk lid. It changes position depending on the driving situation. The AMG aerodynamics team has adapted the control software for the higher performance of the AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE with numerous parameters taken into account, including vehicle speed, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, and steering speed. Depending on the drive program selected, the spoiler assumes five new angular positions above 50 mph to either optimize driving stability or reduce drag.

AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilization is also fitted standard. Active hydraulic elements replace conventional mechanical torsion bar anti-roll bars and compensate for rolling movements in fractions of a second. The adaptive shock absorbers also have two hydraulic connections – one on the compression side of the damper and the other on the rebound side. The damper chambers on all four wheels and the lines are connected directly via the control valves of the adaptive dampers.

The hydraulic interconnection of all four suspension struts and the pressure regulation of the pump and switching valves allow a very wide roll spring rate while at the same time reduce rolling movements. Figuratively, every torsion bar from zero to rigid can be realized automatically. This increases comfort in everyday driving because even one-sided road imperfections are compensated for individually. During dynamic cornering, the hydraulics also actively reduce loss of camber. Thanks to the resulting high camber rigidity, the coupe turns in very precisely.

When driving straight ahead, the system is opened completely depending on the drive program and driving situation. The system compensates for individual obstacles that would otherwise lead to rolling movements. Drivers and passengers experience a significantly more comfortable driving experience. The reduced body roll when cornering contributes equally to comfort and driving dynamics. The driving characteristics in the individual drive programs can be spread more between comfort and sport.

The AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE is also equipped with active rear-axle steering as standard. Depending on vehicle speed, the rear wheels steer either in the opposite direction (up to 60 mph) or the same direction (above 60 mph) as the front wheels. The system therefore enables both agile and stable handling. Other advantages include easier vehicle control at the limit and less steering effort because the front wheel steering ratio is more direct.

An AMG carbon ceramic high performance composite brake system with bronze 6-piston fixed calipers at the front and 1-piston floating calipers at the rear is equipped standard. Carbon ceramic brake discs on the front axle measure 16.5 x 1.6 inches and 15 x 1.3 inches on the rear axle. The system impresses with short braking distances as well as high stability and fade-resistance – even under extreme load. The lightweight design saves additional weight and reduces unsprung mass.

The exterior of the AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE features visual elements exclusive to the performance hybrid. At the rear of the coupe, this includes an integrated charging port door for the hybrid system, "GT 63 S" model badge highlighted in red and grooved twin trapezoidal tailpipe trims. "E PERFORMANCE" badging on each front fender indicates the exclusive hybrid drive.

Aerodynamically optimized 20-inch AMG 10-spoke alloy wheels in Tantalum Grey with a high-sheen finish are fitted standard (front: 10.5 J x 20 with 295/35 R 20 tires; rear: 11.0 J x 20 with 305/35 R 20 tires). Optional 20- and 21-inch wheels in a variety of designs and finishes are also available.

The interior is designed for both dynamic driving and maximum comfort. The cockpit design, right down to the central display in portrait format, focuses on the driver and captivates with a harmonious overall impression. The practical dimensional concept with 2+2 seating offers generous interior space.

One of many highlights of the interior is the standard power adjustable AMG sports seats. These offer exceptional comfort and a high level of lateral support. Optional AMG performance seats with integrated headrests and ventilation openings in the seat backrests to support highly dynamic driving are also available. Three massage programs offer enhanced comfort for long distance journeys. This is further elevated with the optional ENERGIZING Comfort Package Plus, which combines seat functions and lighting moods to create relaxing comfort programs.

The large selection of upholstery choices reflects the range of options – from comfortable to performance-oriented. Single- and two-tone Nappa leather options are included, as well as elegant MANUFAKTUR Nappa leather upholstery with diamond quilting, or the sporty combination of Nappa leather and microfiber with contrast stitching in yellow or red.

For the U.S. market, the extended MANUFAKTUR Signature program is introduced for the 2025 AMG GT Coupe with new exclusive paint finishes and exquisite Nappa Leather upholstery with diamond quilting. This includes striking MANUFAKTUR Desert Sand and MANUFAKTUR Cirrus Silver Magno exterior paints, and MANUFAKTUR Classic Red/Black and MANUFAKTUR Savannah Beige/Black Nappa leather.

The MANUFAKTUR Nappa leather also extends to the armrests and center panels in the doors, center console including the center armrests and the lower part of the dashboard. Another highlight is the hand-stitched AMG Performance MANUFAKTUR steering wheel in Nappa leather, color coordinated with the seat upholstery.

Elegant interior details continue with deep-pile floor mats featuring an embroidered AMG logo and Nappa leather piping in the same color as the MANUFAKTUR interior upholstery. Illuminated AMG door sill panels showcase an exclusive MANUFAKTUR pattern, while the center console is adorned with "MANUFAKTUR" script in high-gloss chrome.

The MBUX infotainment system (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) is intuitive to operate and capable of learning. In the AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE, it features many AMG and hybrid-specific displays and functions. Exclusive menu items such as "AMG Performance" underscore the dynamic character of the coupe. High-quality graphics visualize the power flow of the drive system. Speed, power, torque and temperature of the electric drive unit can also be displayed.
