Miami — Move over Fast & Furious, there’s a new pole-sitter in town. Mercedes-AMG has just dropped the mic—and the clutch—by unveiling the ultra-exclusive AMG GT 63 4Matic+ “APXGP Edition” to celebrate the upcoming cinematic adrenaline shot simply titled F1. Starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, and more drama than a team radio during a tyre strategy mishap, the film promises to be the summer’s hottest release both on and off the racetrack.
Limited to just 52 units, this road-going rocket is more exclusive than a paddock pass at Monaco. And yes, every inch of it is infused with as much drama as the movie’s fictional racing team, APXGP. Mercedes-AMG, serving as a high-octane sidekick, not only provided cars, crew insight, and F1 race-day access, but also turned their design garage into a Hollywood setpiece. The result? A special edition GT that makes Bond’s Aston Martin look like a rental.
Painted in a bespoke APXGP livery with gold accents so rich they’d make King Midas blush, the coupe features hand-applied decals, matte race-gold 21-inch forged wheels, and enough carbon fibre to start your own aerospace program. The look screams “track monster,” while still whispering “valet me gently.”
Inside, it’s business class meets pit wall. Black Nappa leather with race-gold topstitching, carbon-fibre trim laced with gold threads, and even illuminated sill trims that greet you like a red carpet welcome—because why shouldn’t your daily commute feel like a world premiere?
And speaking of performance: the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet delivers a whopping 585 hp, flinging the car from 0 to “Is that legal?” in a blink. It comes with active aerodynamics, rear-axle steering, AMG’s trick 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system, and a symphony of track-ready tech including AMG Active Ride Control and AMG Track Pace for logging your coffee-run lap times.
Comfort hasn’t been lapped either. With a panoramic roof, Burmester 3D sound system, Energizing wellness packages, and even a lift system to protect that precious front lip from rogue speed bumps, it’s as much “private jet on wheels” as it is “cinematic tribute to velocity.”
Each buyer of this unicorn will receive an AMG Indoor Car Cover, which is about the only time this beast will ever be covered in anything but glory. And lest you forget just how rare this is, a “Limited Edition 1 of 52” badge is embedded proudly in the centre console—because one does not simply buy an AMG tied to a Brad Pitt film without bragging rights.
As Michael Schiebe, the big boss at AMG, put it:
“We’re blending cinema with cylinder counts. The ‘APXGP Edition’ is where performance meets popcorn.”
The film F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (Everything That Ever Went Boom on Screen), and featuring Lewis Hamilton in a behind-the-scenes role, races into theatres worldwide on June 27, 2025 (June 25 internationally). Expect engines, egos, and enough edge-of-seat action to make Verstappen sweat.
So whether you’re a cinema buff or just someone who thinks turn 1 should come with surround sound, the F1 film and its APXGP Edition co-star are set to redefine summer blockbusters—one lap at a time.
