Mercedes-AMG has introduced a head-turning special edition of its 2026 GT 63, dubbed the APXGP Edition. This exclusive model draws inspiration from the fictional APXGP Formula 1 team featured in the highly anticipated Formula 1 film starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, set to hit theaters in June 2025.
The film, already generating significant buzz, serves as the creative backdrop for this limited-run vehicle. With production capped at just 52 units globally, the APXGP Edition fuses AMG’s engineering excellence with cinematic flair—making it a collector’s dream for car lovers and racing fans alike.
A Striking and Exclusive 2026 GT 63
Visually, the GT 63 APXGP Edition channels the bold aesthetics of the fictional F1 team. It sports a sleek matte black finish adorned with hand-applied “Race Gold” highlights, echoing the drama and prestige of Formula 1. A distinctive checkerboard pattern near the front wheel arches adds a subtle tribute to motorsport heritage.
Completing the look are lightweight 21-inch forged wheels in matte gold, enhancing both the car’s assertive stance and handling dynamics. The performance package includes black AMG-branded carbon-ceramic brakes, ensuring exceptional stopping power while maintaining a cohesive, stealthy appearance.
The car comes fitted with AMG’s Carbon Fiber Package and optional Night Package, introducing carbon fiber accents and black chrome detailing on the front grille, AMG badge, and Mercedes emblem. Each unit also includes a custom-fit protective indoor car cover, designed with a rip-resistant outer shell and soft flannel lining to preserve the vehicle’s finish.
Performance and Powertrain
Under the hood, the APXGP Edition remains mechanically identical to the standard 2026 GT 63. Power comes from a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 603 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox and AMG’s 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system.
The result is blistering acceleration—0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. Despite no performance modifications, the GT 63’s capabilities continue to place it among the elite in its segment, offering a masterful balance of brute force and refined control.
What sets this edition apart isn’t just its rarity—it’s the connection to a major Hollywood production. Each car is a tribute to the storyline of the upcoming Formula 1 movie, which follows a seasoned racer (played by Pitt) mentoring a rising star (Idris) in the high-pressure world of F1. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, known for Top Gun: Maverick, the film features real racing footage shot during actual Grand Prix events, adding a layer of authenticity that motorsport fans will appreciate.
The GT 63 APXGP Edition is timed to debut alongside the film’s premiere on June 25, 2025, with a North American release on June 27.
While official pricing has yet to be announced, the base GT 63 is priced from approximately $150,000 (SAR 562,500). With its exclusive design and limited production, the APXGP Edition is expected to command a significantly higher price tag, aimed at collectors and AMG connoisseurs who seek vehicles with cultural and emotional resonance.
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 APXGP Edition is more than a high-performance coupe—it’s a celebration of motorsport, storytelling, and luxury craftsmanship. With only 52 examples to be produced, this limited edition blends cinematic fantasy with AMG’s real-world prowess, creating an automotive icon destined for legendary status.
