Mercedes-AMG® Unveils GT 63 APXGP Edition Inspired by Brad Pitt’s F1 Movie
Luxury auto meets silver screen in a bold new way. Mercedes-AMG® has revealed its ultra-limited GT 63 APXGP Edition, a high-performance, visually striking sports coupe that pays homage to Brad Pitt’s upcoming Formula 1 movie. This exclusive model, limited to just 52 examples worldwide, combines cinematic flair with AMG®’s renowned engineering, creating a collector’s dream that drives as good as it looks.
The Cinema-Car Connection
The GT 63 APXGP Edition isn’t just a nod to Hollywood; it’s a direct descendant of the film’s fictional APXGP team. The movie follows the gripping comeback of Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver rediscovering glory on the racetrack. Mercedes-AMG®’s involvement extends beyond design, providing vehicles like the SL and G-Class for on-screen action and technical expertise to bring authenticity to the production. Even Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton had a hand in shaping the film as a co-producer.
Mercedes-AMG® has turned this cinematic inspiration into a real-world road weapon, blending its F1 performance pedigree with the storytelling magic of Hollywood.
High-Octane Engineering and Performance
Beneath its show-stopping exterior, the APXGP Edition is based on the AMG® GT 63 S 4MATIC®+. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, the car produces an impressive 577 horsepower. Power is delivered through AMG®’s advanced 4MATIC®+ all-wheel drive system, ensuring exceptional traction and handling. Agile dynamics are further supported by advanced tech like active roll stabilization and rear-axle steering.
This isn’t just a car meant to sit in a garage or a showroom. It’s a fully functional, street-legal performance machine designed to thrill any enthusiast fortunate enough to own it.
Bespoke Styling That Demands Attention
Matte Black Meets Race Gold
The APXGP Edition looks as though it was plucked straight from the race track. Its hand-painted matte black finish is complemented by gleaming Race Gold accents across the grille, sides, diffuser, and rear wing. The 21-inch forged wheels also wear a gold finish, tying the design together in harmony.
Adding to its allure is a striking fade effect from matte black to dark gray on the rear of the car. Subtle yet bold, this detail elevates the aesthetics, making each car unique.
Carbon Fiber Aerodynamics
For those who prefer form to follow function, Mercedes-AMG® has you covered. The aerodynamic upgrades are as functional as they are stylish, with the Exterior Carbon Fiber Package incorporating a carbon rear wing, splitter, sill trims, and diffuser. Gloss black accents from the AMG® Night Package II provide a stealthy, aggressive finish.
An Interior Worthy of a Blockbuster
Gold Touches in a Dark Cabin
The interior of the APXGP Edition is equally luxurious, continuing the gold-accented theme seen on the exterior. Black Nappa leather and Microcut microfiber upholstery dominate the cabin, paired with gold contrast stitching and trim elements on the steering wheel, air vents, instrument panel, and center console.
Exclusive Features
Each APXGP Edition comes with a numbered “Limited Edition 1 of 52” badge on the center console, reinforcing its exclusivity. Other highlights include a Burmester 3D surround sound system, complete with 15 speakers and 1,170 watts of power. While cupholders are included, there’s no dedicated spot for popcorn—but as reviewers joked, this car is about experiencing the drive, not snacks!
From Film to Finish Line
Mercedes-AMG®’s involvement in Pitt’s Formula 1 movie goes beyond designing this incredible car. The brand supplied vehicles like the AMG® GT and G 63 for action-packed scenes while contributing their technical expertise to ensure authenticity on-screen. By supporting both production needs and on-screen realism, AMG® reinforces its deep connection to motorsport.
Limited Availability, Undefined Price
Here’s the catch: this masterpiece is almost as rare as an Academy Award. Mercedes-AMG® has confirmed only 52 units of the GT 63 APXGP Edition will be produced. While pricing hasn’t been disclosed, demand will undoubtedly outweigh supply. For collectors and F1 enthusiasts, this isn’t just a purchase; it’s an investment in a piece of automotive and cinematic history.
A Rare Union of Luxury, Performance, and Storytelling
The GT 63 APXGP Edition represents more than a car; it symbolizes the intersection of motorsport technology, Hollywood storytelling, and bespoke engineering. A product of passion and performance, this car bridges the world of automotive craftsmanship and cinematic imagination, delivering an unforgettable ride both on and off the screen.
If you’re dreaming of owning this piece of history, act quickly. With only 52 examples being made, this may be your one chance to claim a tangible piece of the Formula 1 film legacy.
