This black Mercedes-AMG GT 63 with a red interior is based in Orange County, the four door version of our AMG GT with a hatchback boot. Valets at Fashion Island clock the long bonnet, then the rear doors. Four adults fit in real seats at the lowest rate on any AMG V8 we run, for a group day that should still sound like an event.
The GT 63 takes the AMG GT's twin turbo V8 and puts it in a four door body, which turns a demanding sports car into something usable on the run down Ortega Highway or out to John Wayne Airport. A 4.0 liter V8 makes 577 horsepower, sent through all wheel drive to sixty in 3.4 seconds, with rear axle steering to shrink the car in tighter Orange County traffic and a hatchback boot that swallows more than the shape suggests. All wheel drive is the difference against our rear drive GT R, you get nearly the same speed with none of the same demands, so a canyon road becomes enjoyable rather than a concentration exercise.
Black with a red interior is a familiar AMG pairing done correctly here, since the GT 63 has a long bonnet and a sloping roof that photograph as expensive from almost any angle outside a restaurant in Fashion Island. The exterior reads as a large coupe rather than a sedan, which is the whole design intent, and a low rear three quarter angle is where the shape looks best. Black wants late light or a lit street to show its detail rather than flat daylight. The red cabin is the accent, and it works hardest shot with a door open.
This is the lowest daily rate in our Mercedes lineup and the only four door AMG GT with a hatchback boot and a coupe roofline. Our two AMG GT R are two seat, rear drive and considerably more demanding to drive fast, and our S-Class cars are built for comfort first rather than outright pace. This sits between them, four proper seats, all wheel drive, and real luggage space at the cheapest rate we offer on anything carrying an AMG V8. Book it for a group day in Orange County that still needs to sound like an event.
This is the AMG GT 63 trim in black over red, the four door in our AMG GT lineup based in Orange County. It runs a 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, sent through all wheel drive to a 3.4 second run to sixty. Rear axle steering and multi chamber air suspension are standard to this trim, and the body is a fastback with a hatchback boot rather than a sedan trunk. Seating is four adults with real luggage space. Black over red is the correct AMG interior specification for this car.
