This is the 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe and while you may have to squint to notice any changes, upgrades have indeed been made. The revised GT 4 lineup will launch in the U.S. later this year. In tweaking the exterior design of the GT 63 and GT 63 S, Mercedes-AMG’s designers borrowed the front fascia from the existing GT 63 S E Performance flagship. As such, the outer air intakes are slightly wider than before and each incorporates three vertical fins as opposed to the horizontal fins of pre-facelift models.
Mercedes has also made the updated GT 63
and GT 63 S 4-Door models more customizable than ever before. For example, the
range of Manufaktur colors has grown and now includes Arabian Grey, Cashmere
White Magno, and China Blue. All up, buyers can now choose between four matte
paints, five metallic shades, and two solid colors, including new shades of
Starling Blue Metallic and Starling Blue Magno first featured on the facelifted
six-cylinder GT 4-Door from last year. Also offered is the new AMG Night
Package II and a combination of the Night Package and AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber
Package.
The German car manufacturer has also
extended the Manufaktur range of interior options with new Nappa leather and
diamond quilting. There is also a two-tone AMG Performance steering wheel and
AMG high-pile floor mats with embroidered AMG lettering. Mercedes is promising
to launch further individualization options in the coming years.
Upgrades have also been made to the
standard AMG Ride Control+ suspension system. The setup is based on
Mercedes-Benz’s Air Body Control suspension and features electronically
controlled adaptive and adjustable dampers. This new system features two
pressure limiting valves that allow the damping force to be adjusted even more
precisely depending on the drive mode and driving conditions. The result is
improved comfort and even sharper driving dynamics.
The system also features a suspension
control unit that analyzes data, including information from acceleration and
wheel path sensors, to automatically adjust the damping force for each wheel in
just a matter of milliseconds. The various settings of the suspension can be
tweaked through the driving modes or independently via a dedicated damping
button.
No changes have been made to the engines
of the duo. As such, both feature a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that in the
GT 63, delivers 575 hp between 5,500 and 6,500 rpm and 800 Nm from
2,350 to 5,000 rpm. The GT 63 S has a touch more grunt and is rated at 630 hp
from 5,500 to 6,500 rpm and 900 Nm from 2,500 to 4,500 rpm.
