The Intersection of Cinema and Speed
This summer, moviegoers are in for a high-octane treat with the release of the new F1 film featuring Brad Pitt. The film promises to deliver an authentic racing experience by filming on actual Formula 1 tracks, and it includes real cars and drivers. As a significant partner, Mercedes-AMG has teamed up with Apple Original Films and Warner Bros. Pictures to showcase some of their most iconic vehicles, including the AMG SL, G-Class, GT, and the official Mercedes-AMG FIA F1 Safety Car.
Introducing the Exclusive GT 63 APXGP Edition
To commemorate this collaboration, Mercedes-AMG has announced the production of a limited edition GT 63 ‘APXGP Edition’, with only 52 units available worldwide. This model promises to be a collector’s dream, boasting a 577-horsepower twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, AMG Active Ride Control, and active rear-axle steering. The APXGP Edition stands out with its unique design, featuring a satin black exterior accented with race gold, a signature that runs through the AMG grille and fender patterns.
Distinctive Design and Performance
The GT 63 APXGP Edition is not only about performance but also about aesthetics. Its 21-inch AMG forged cross-spoke wheels come in a matte race gold finish, complemented by carbon-ceramic brakes with black calipers. Inside, the vehicle exudes luxury with black Nappa leather and microfiber AMG performance seats, enhanced by gold contrast stitching. Carbon fiber trim elements and a heated AMG performance steering wheel with gold stitching add to the opulent feel, while custom door sill trims with gold illumination and embroidered ‘APXGP’ logos on the AMG floor mats provide a bespoke touch.
Technological Marvel
Mercedes-AMG has not compromised on technology either. The GT 63 APXGP Edition comes equipped with a 1,170-watt, 15-speaker Burmester high-end 3D surround sound system as standard. Additionally, owners will receive a custom indoor car cover made from anti-static flannel and breathable outer fabric, ensuring their vehicle remains in pristine condition.
Exclusivity and Collector Appeal
With only 52 units in existence, the GT 63 APXGP Edition is rarer than the Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet and is on par with the R129 Mercedes-Benz SL73 AMG, making it one of the most exclusive AMGs ever produced. Owning such a vehicle is akin to possessing a piece of automotive history, a true treasure for car enthusiasts worldwide.
Conclusion: A Cinematic and Automotive Masterpiece
The collaboration between Mercedes-AMG and the new F1 movie represents a perfect fusion of cinema and automotive excellence. The GT 63 APXGP Edition is not just a car; it’s a statement of luxury, performance, and exclusivity. For those fortunate enough to own one, it’s a golden opportunity to be part of a legacy that intertwines the thrill of racing with the magic of film.
