Mercedes-AMG is merging the adrenaline of the racetrack with Hollywood spectacle in a stunningly crafted tribute to cinema and speed. Unveiled on the Formula 1® Miami Grand Prix, the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 “APXGP Edition” celebrates the upcoming Formula 1-inspired blockbuster F1, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris. With only 52 units to be produced globally, this special edition coupe isn’t only a automotive, it’s a collector’s dream shaped by motorsport history and cinematic flair.
As an official promotional partner of F1, the highly anticipated Apple Original Movies production from director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Mercedes-AMG lent greater than just its badge to the silver screen. The automaker provided its Formula 1 team expertise, a fleet of current AMG performance vehicles including the GT, SL, and G-Class, and even the official FIA F1® Safety and Medical Cars for authentic trackside motion.
Nevertheless it’s the exclusive APXGP Edition that really embodies the spirit of the fictional APXGP race team featured within the film. Styled directly after the team’s on-screen livery, this limited-run AMG GT 63 arrives as the last word crossover of automotive culture and Hollywood.
This isn’t a basic cosmetic package slapped onto an existing model. The APXGP Edition is a hand-finished, motorsport-inspired masterpiece, drenched in bespoke detailing that’s true to the film’s high-octane atmosphere. From Race Gold accents on the AMG grille and bodywork to 21-inch matte Race Gold forged wheels, every angle screams purpose-built prestige.
Its aerodynamic profile is sharpened by a carbon fiber rear wing, aggressive diffuser, and AMG-specific carbon aero components that underscore its racetrack roots. Black chrome elements, including the AMG crest and badging, add stealthy sophistication, while the exclusive APXGP paint finish brings a cinematic polish to the road.
Inside, the theme continues with black Nappa leather and microfiber performance seats, gold contrast stitching, and carbon trim woven with gold threads. Even the ground mats and door sills carry the APXGP insignia, illuminated and embroidered to emphasise the edition’s rarity. A numbered “1 of 52” plaque confirms its ultra-limited status.
Under the hood, the APXGP Edition maintains the raw power AMG is understood for. The 577-horsepower, 4.0-liter handcrafted AMG V8 biturbo engine works in concert with AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive and an arsenal of tech including AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension, lively rear-axle steering, and lively aerodynamics. It’s not only show, it’s go.
For those craving greater than red carpet treatment, AMG TRACK PACE comes standard to record racetrack data, while a front axle lift system makes urban driving more manageable. The Burmester® 3D surround sound system with 15 speakers ensures the GT 63 can hit high notes off the track too.
Mercedes-AMG’s collaboration with F1 is greater than a marketing move, it’s a testament to how far storytelling and automotive engineering have evolved together. With an all-star solid including Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Tobias Menzies, the film is poised to bring Formula 1’s drama and danger to a wider audience.
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 APXGP Edition stands as a rare artifact from this cinematic moment, capturing the fun of each track and screen. It’s a automotive for enthusiasts, collectors, and movie lovers who need to own a bit of performance history blended with popular culture.
With only 52 examples to be made worldwide, this AMG GT 63 isn’t nearly exclusivity, it’s about experience. It bridges the worlds of motorsport, luxury, and entertainment in a way that few vehicles ever do. Because the film F1 prepares to hit theaters globally starting June 25, 2025, the APXGP Edition will already be making headlines of its own.
This summer, Formula 1 won’t just be on the track, it’ll be in theaters, in hearts, and for 52 lucky owners, of their garages.
