For those who think an AMG should be loud, fast and unapologetic, the 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Pro Coupe has arrived. Launched in Malaysia on 30 September 2026, it uses a hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 612 PS and 850 Nm, and it is priced from an estimated RM2,088,888.
2026 AMG GT 63 Pro Price in Malaysia
| Model | Price |
|---|---|
| AMG GT 63 Pro 4Matic+ Coupe | from an estimated RM2,088,888 |
| AMG GT 63 Pro Motorsport Collectors Edition | RM2,588,888 |
The Collectors Edition remains on sale. The new Pro is essentially the same car without the special-edition trim, dress-up items and some upgraded equipment.
Engine and Transmission
The heart of the car is the M177 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, hand-built in Affalterbach. In Pro form it makes 612 PS (450 kW) and 850 Nm, which is 27 PS and 50 Nm more than the regular GT 63 Coupe's 585 PS and 800 Nm. The increase is achieved through an engine control unit adjustment. Power goes through the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic and AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel drive.
Performance
The Pro sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 317 km/h, slightly above the regular car's 315 km/h. Those figures place it among the fastest road cars sold in Malaysia, though on local roads the speed limits make it more about sound, presence and driving feel than numbers.
Design and Aerodynamics
Pro versions are marked by a redesigned front bumper and apron, larger side air intakes and visible carbon-fibre air deflectors. Checkered-flag badges identify the Pro. The aerodynamic changes reduce front-axle lift by 30 kg, which improves stability at high speed. Braking and cooling have also been revised to cope with track use.
Who Is It For?
The AMG GT 63 Pro is for an enthusiast who wants a front-engined V8 grand tourer with genuine track capability, but does not want to pay Ferrari or Porsche 911 GT prices. It sits at the sporty end of the AMG range, so expect a firm ride and a dramatic soundtrack.
Ownership Considerations
A car at this level involves costs beyond the sticker price. Insurance premiums, tyres, carbon-ceramic or high-performance brakes and servicing will all be significantly higher than for a typical luxury sedan. Buyers should also think about storage and where the car will be driven, since Malaysian speed limits mean its full potential is best explored on a track day. The upside is that AMG's all-wheel drive makes the car usable in wet weather, and the hand-built engine carries real prestige. For a collector or second car, it is among the most exciting new options available today.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: hand-built V8, 3.2-second sprint, aggressive styling, improved aero, AWD traction
- Cons: over RM2 million, firm ride likely, high running and insurance costs, limited practicality
Verdict
The GT 63 Pro Coupe is an emotional purchase, not a rational one. If you want a big, loud and ferociously quick V8 coupe and have the budget, it delivers exactly that. Buyers who want something more exclusive might consider the Collectors Edition, but the standard Pro is already a serious performance car.
