Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and GT 63 PRO launched at ₹3 crore. Bookings open
After a five-year absence from the Indian market, Mercedes-AMG's flagship grand tourer is back. The arrival of the second-generation AMG GT in India marks a significant milestone, reintroducing the high-performance coupe that had exited the country in 2020 following the discontinuation of the first-gen model. The luxury manufacturer has brought in the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and GT 63 Pro. They are priced at ₹ 3 crore and ₹ 3.65 crore respectively. Both prices are ex-showroom.
Bookings are currently open for both variants. While deliveries for the AMG GT 63 are slated for Q4 2025, the Pro variant will reach customers early next year.
Globally unveiled in August 2023, the new AMG GT brings with it a host of updates that go beyond just cosmetic changes. Unlike the earlier iteration, which was a strict two-seater, the latest model adopts a more practical 2+2 seating configuration. Its overall dimensions have grown noticeably—182 mm longer, 45 mm wider, and 66 mm taller—resulting in a roomier cabin and improved road presence. The wheelbase, extended by 70 mm, contributes to better passenger space and improved ride comfort.
The second-gen GT 63 adopts a 2+2 seating configuration alongside a 70 mm longer wheelbase that allows for enhanced interior comfort.
Design-wise, the second-gen GT continues to carry the DNA of its predecessor with subtle aerodynamic enhancements and modernised lighting elements. While the profile remains unmistakably AMG GT, the updates lend it a more mature and versatile persona. The interior has also seen a significant overhaul with a new AMG-spec steering wheel, sculpted sport seats with integrated headrests, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and an 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen infotainment system.
Under the hood, the AMG GT 63 is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that puts out 585 bhp and 800 Nm of torque. The powertrain is coupled with a 9-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and Mercedes' 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 315 km/h, showcasing serious performance credentials.

The GT 63 Pro is the performance-oriented version that gets the AMG Aerodynamic Package as standard while stripping off the rear seats.
For those seeking an even more performance-oriented version, Mercedes-AMG has introduced the GT 63 Pro. This is a track-ready version that gets the AMG Aerodynamic Package as standard and retains only the front row seats. This variant features a more potent tune of the same V8 engine, now delivering 612 hp and 850 Nm of torque. While the 0-100 km/h time remains nearly identical at 3.1 seconds, the Pro version is 0.5 seconds quicker in the 0-200 km/h sprint, achieving it in 10.9 seconds. Its top speed is also marginally higher at 317 km/h.
Mechanical and aerodynamic improvements further differentiate the GT 63 Pro. It receives better cooling systems, revised aerodynamics, larger brakes, lightweight wheels, and upgraded tires. The downforce at the rear has been increased by 15 kg, while front-end lift is reduced by 30 kg, enhancing high-speed stability and handling precision.

SUV Effect: Why Do Drivers Of Big Cars Drive So Aggressively On Indian Roads?
Do SUVs make us bad drivers? Here's what the science says. The constant honking. The urgency to overtake you from the right or the left. The blinding headlight flashing. The wrong-side driving. Regardless of whether you experience them all, the stereotypes portraying SUV drivers as carefree and reckless behind the wheel are there for a reason. Of course, responsible citizens respect their fellow motorists, adhere to traffic laws, and prioritise road safety. However, a few drivers, infamous for their reckless behaviour on Indian roads with their large, bulky Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), may have developed such traits due to the nature of their vehicles. Akshat Ajeya, aka the 'Mota Bhai", a popular face of Cars 24's educational content on YouTube, cited a study published in the US's National Library of Medicine in a YouTube Shorts to explain the unique 'SUV Effect", a phenomenon that alters the way some folks drive on the roads. SUV Effect According to the study, the altered attitude and behavioural changes are mostly seen in those rocking the big size, multi-passenger vehicles on the streets. The shift in the way they drive their vehicle can be seen in the aggressive manner they move, taking unnecessary risks that could put other drivers and pedestrians in danger, and bullying others to show who's the boss. Ajeya, referring to the study, noted that the drivers in big vehicles broke more traffic rules than those in hatchbacks and sedans. Not caring to wear their seatbelts, talking on their mobile phones, and jumping red lights, to name a few. The high visibility of an SUV makes the car in front of them appear smaller, which contributes to the SUV Effect. A driver may act recklessly due to the 'tough image" of their four-wheeler, which encourages hostile and risky driving behaviour. Status symbol is also one of the reasons why you'd feel that the driver next to you in their chunky vehicles thinks the world around him or her is beneath them. The bigger the car, the bigger the ego. In a country such as India, where accidental death on the road is a common occurrence, an SUV can also contribute to the psychological assurance of perceived safety. That they are not in the line of danger is assumed. Mahindra Thar It's not the car but the driver behind the wheel of a Thar that gives the car a bad name. When a Reddit user asked the car community why Thars were disliked with so much passion, they spoke in unison. 'Majority of the Thar owners think they are kings of the road and even drive like one," noted one user. 'Nobody hates Thar. Its the attitude of drivers behind the wheel which is hated. Just like KTMs in bikes. The bikes are awesome but the squids riding it give them a bad name (sic)." 'Nobody hates a car, I guess. The hate is directed at its owner who does stupid things on public roads (sic)." While the study mentioned above was conducted in the US, the pattern isn't unknown here on our Indian roads. We have compiled a list of headlines of SUVs that made news in the past few months or so. 2) Maharashtra: Robbers Try To Pull ATM Using SUV, Flee After Rope Snaps | Video Get Latest Updates on Movies, Breaking News On India, World, Live Cricket Scores, And Stock Market Updates.

Why Rohit Sharma Chose ‘3015' For His Lamborghini Number Plate? Special Family Connection Revealed
Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma has recently added a stunning new Lamborghini Urus to his illustrious car collection, featuring the unique number plate '3015.' This distinctive number holds a heartfelt significance for Rohit: it commemorates two special birthdays within his family ; Sammy's 30th birthday and Ahaan's 15th birthday. The sum of these two important milestones, 30 plus 15, equals 45, which also resonates with Rohit's popular jersey number, linking his personal and professional life beautifully. Rohit Sharma's affinity for luxury cars is well known. Over the years, he has owned an impressive collection that includes brands like Skoda, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, and Lamborghini. Some of his car numbers have notable cricketing connotations as well. For instance, his previous Lamborghini boasted the number plate '264,' a tribute to his record-breaking 264-run innings in One Day Internationals (ODIs), which remains the highest individual score in ODI cricket. Rohit Sharma bought a new Lamborghini .

His last Test appearance was thus marked by a graceful exit from the longest format, allowing him to focus on limited-overs cricket and personal commitments. As per recent reports, discussions around Rohit's international future are underway with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), with a particular focus on the lead-up to the 2027 ICC World Cup in South Africa. Despite stepping back from certain formats, Rohit Sharma is said to be enjoying his life both on and off the field. Whether spending quality time with his family or indulging in his passion for high-end automobiles, Rohit's post-Test phase seems rewarding and balanced. The new Lamborghini '3015' symbolizes this new chapter, celebrating the meaningful milestones in his life and his continued journey as a cricketing icon. In summary, Rohit Sharma's latest Lamborghini with the '3015' number plate is more than just a car — it's a personal emblem blending family love, cricketing excellence, and a life well lived. Reports confirming future conversations between Rohit and BCCI indicate that while he cherishes his past cricketing achievements, exciting chapters still await in his career.
