The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ 4-Door Coupé (M-B GT 4 '18) is a four-door sports coupé produced by Mercedes-Benz's AMG tuning division.

The GT 63 S is the highest-performing model of the four-door Mercedes-AMG GT model range.

Overview

Design

Unlike other AMG GT models, the GT 63 S uses a fixed carbon fiber rear wing. Its design embodies AMG's design philosophy of sensual purity, striking proportions, and a voluminous body. The GT 63 S can have either 50.8 cm (20 in) AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels or 53.3 cm (21 in) AMG cross-spoke forged wheels, the latter of which can be painted white or black.

The GT 63 S has a curb weight of 4,447 lb (2,017 kg). It comes with 10 different paint colors.

Specifications

The GT 63 S uses the same 3,982 cc (4 L; 243 in³) twin-turbocharged M178 engine as the rest of the Mercedes-AMG GT family, but uptuned to make 639 PS (630 hp; 470 kW) between 5,500 and 6,500 rpm and 900 N·m (664 ft·lb) of torque between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a nine-speed AMG Speedshift MCT 9G automatic transmission.

Performance

• 0 - 60 mph (0 - 97 km/h): 3.2 seconds
• Top speed: 310 km/h (193 mph)

The GT 63 S also features an electronically controlled locking differential that improves traction in all driving situations and rear axle steering that steers in the opposite direction up to 62 mph (100 km/h) to virtually cut the car's wheelbase. Above that speed, the rear axle steers in the same direction and virtually extends the wheelbase.

Gameplay

In Forza Horizon 4, the GT 63 S is an exclusive car, available from April 11, 2019 to April 18, 2019 by achieving 50% completion on the Series 8 Horizon Summer Season.

Official Turn 10 remarks

“You don’t have to be an executive to appreciate the first class amenities of the latest in the line of super luxury four-door coupes from Europe. The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door is big in every sense of the word that matters to car lovers. Sure it’s big enough to cruise with threefull-size friends, but more importantly it has the full-size gusto under the hood you have come to expect from the Mercedes-AMG performance group that brought the world the SLS and AMG GT. Consider it the best of both worlds, twin-turbos and a V8. At full tilt you will feel the rush of 630 hp. Well enough to drift into the next dimension and beyond, or just dust the competition the immensity of its opulence.”

Trivia

Mistakes

• The car's in-game name is wrongly displayed as just Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé despite the in-game model clearly being the GT 63 S model.
  • In fact, Mercedes-AMG's Twitter account even clarifies this.
