Mercedes Reveals Brad Pitt-Inspired Luxury Coupe at Miami GP: The Exclusive AMG GT 63 APXGP
Mercedes-AMG has made waves at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix with the reveal of the limited-edition Mercedes-AMG GT 63 APXGP, a stunning luxury coupe designed with inspiration from the upcoming Formula 1 movie starring Brad Pitt. With only 52 units being produced worldwide, this exclusive model blends high-octane cinematic excitement with the brand’s legendary performance engineering, creating a supercar that’s as much a work of art as a machine of speed.
A Formula 1-Inspired Masterpiece: The APXGP Edition
The GT 63 APXGP Edition is a stunning tribute to the fictional APXGP racing team in the movie, bringing race-level luxury to the streets. Mercedes-AMG has designed the vehicle to appeal to passionate collectors and motorsport enthusiasts, offering a unique combination of cutting-edge technology and bold aesthetics.
Taking its cues from the high-speed world of Formula 1, this super coupe features a dramatic gold-and-black color scheme that exudes power and elegance. The body is adorned with hand-applied Race Gold trim, accentuating the front fenders, side sills, rear apron, and diffuser. The 21-inch forged wheels, finished in Night Race Gold, further enhance the vehicle’s bold presence. As a nod to the motorsport world, the car also comes equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes and black gloss callipers, ensuring top-tier performance and a sleek appearance.
Exclusive Performance Engineering: Built for the Track, Styled for the Streets
The AMG GT 63 APXGP isn’t just about looks—it’s a true performance machine. Mercedes-AMG has included their Carbon Fibre and Aerodynamics packages as standard, both of which are usually optional upgrades on other models. These enhancements increase downforce and improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics, giving it the edge it needs for high-speed driving.
In keeping with its super-luxury status, the GT 63 APXGP also features the AMG Extended Night package, adding black chrome accents to further complement the gold detailing. This sleek, stylish combination of dark and light tones makes the car a true standout both on the road and at the track.
A Collector's Dream: Exclusive and Cinematic
Inside the GT 63 APXGP, Mercedes-AMG continues the theme of high-performance luxury. The cabin boasts black Nappa leather and microfibre sports seats, all accented with gold contrasting stitching, creating a rich and dynamic atmosphere. The focus on detail and exclusivity is clear, making this model the perfect collector’s item for anyone who appreciates both style and substance.
Michael Schiebe, Chairman of Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Head of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class & Mercedes-Maybach division, shared his excitement at the launch: “We are delighted to be able to showcase our high-performance vehicles, including the dynamic AMG GT, in this high-performance atmosphere. With the exclusive APXGP Edition, we created a limited number of GTs that combine the excitement of AMG with the cinematic work of F1.”
While the GT 63 APXGP Edition may share the same engine as the base model, the bespoke design, premium materials, and film tie-in give it a distinct, high-value appeal. Though the exact price has not been officially disclosed, it’s expected to be significantly higher than the entry-level model, which starts at €178,000 (approximately ₹3.3 crore or $201,816).
Brad Pitt’s 'F1' Movie and the APXGP Edition’s Role
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 APXGP will also star in the highly anticipated Formula 1 movie, set to hit theaters in June 2025. In the film, Brad Pitt will drive the iconic APXGP vehicle, though specific details about the car’s role on-screen are still under wraps. For fans of the film and automotive enthusiasts alike, the GT 63 APXGP Edition offers a real-world taste of the adrenaline and excitement that the film promises to deliver.
