Mercedes-AMG GT 63, GT 63 Pro Launched In India, Prices Inside
The GT 63 twins will be brought to India as CBUs and will rival the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS.
Mercedes-Benz India has reintroduced its iconic AMG GT series with two powerful models — the AMG GT 63 and the AMG GT 63 Pro.
Priced at Rs 3 crore and RS 3.65 crore (ex-showroom) respectively, these high-performance machines mark the return of the AMG GT nameplate after a three-year break. This launch is part of the brand's ambitious plan to roll out eight new models in 2025.
Earlier this year, Mercedes also launched the EQS 450 SUV, the electric G-Class, and the luxurious Maybach SL 680.
Performance
Both versions come equipped with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. While the GT 63 produces 585bhp and 800Nm of torque, the more aggressive GT 63 Pro churns out 612bhp and 850Nm.
A 9-speed AMG Speedshift automatic gearbox and Mercedes' 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive help the GT 63 hit 0–100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, and the Pro does it in 3.1 seconds. Top speeds touch 317 km/h.
The Pro also features track-focused upgrades like ceramic brakes, aerodynamic aids, and AMG Active Ride Control for better high-speed handling.
Dimension
The new GT 63 is noticeably larger than the earlier model. It's longer by 182mm, wider by 45mm, and taller by 66mm. The increased size also means a more spacious cabin and a bigger boot, making it a more practical luxury coupe.
Features
The feature highlights include a 12.3-inch digital display, an 11.9-inch touchscreen, and comfortable sports seats. Buyers can choose eye-catching paint finishes like Alpine Grey Solid or Patagonia Red Bright.
Deliveries and Competition
Deliveries of the GT 63 will begin by the end of this year, while the GT 63 Pro will arrive next year. These new AMG GT models will rival the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS and will be brought in as fully imported units.

Kanye West' YEEZY store shut down for a while; came back with slashed prices - here's why
Kanye West's YEEZY store was shut down by Shopify this week after it broke one of the platform's rules. The website, which works via Shopify, stopped working on Tuesday morning. The store was selling T-shirts with Swastika symbols, which many people and groups have spoken against. Someone from Shopify argued that the store was not following 'real business practices,' which goes against Shopify's rules, as reported by PRIMETIMER.

Sisak)(AP) YEEZY drew renewed attention after a controversial 30-second ad aired in select local TV markets during the Super Bowl. Filmed by West on his phone in a dentist's office, the ad simply directed viewers to visit the store's website. Shopify allowed the sale to continue for over a day before removing the offensive merchandise. This delay prompted backlash from advocacy groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which condemned the use of the swastika due to its deep associations with Nazi Germany, anti-Semitism, and white supremacist ideologies. Also Read: Pro-Palestinians programmed, voted against Trump: Watch Kanye West's rant Kanye West's store returns with reduced prices The YEEZY store controversy coincided with the rapper's antisemitic, homophobic, and misogynistic rants on X, where he has over 32 million followers. While his posts were limited by X, 33& West, which is a talent agency based in Los Angeles, cut ties with him following West's rants and Swastika merchandise. However, the YEEZY store has made a return with a new line of products and reduced prices. Currently, customers can find items like YEEZY Slides for $20, and other clothes, with the most expensive item going for $100. This shows a stark contrast for the store, as West's products were earlier priced way more than the current price list, as reported by PRIMETIMER. The relaunch of the store with slashed prices comes after a very controversial period for the rapper and his being dropped from several partnerships across music, fashion, and business. In 2022, major talent agency CAA (Creative Artists Agency) dropped West after he allegedly made a series of antisemitic comments. The return of the store signals a more restrained comeback, offering a limited selection of products at noticeably reduced prices. This scaled-back approach comes amid severe public scrutiny.

Toy Story
The growing community of adult toy collectors isn't just fuelling corporate giants; it's also carving out space for indie toy makers and artists. Shreyas Malvankar, a '90s kid himself, began crafting cardboard toys as a child, simply because the superhero figures he craved were either unavailable or unaffordable. What began as play soon turned into a profession, as nostalgia-rich millennial adults started seeking personalised, handmade models of their favourite heroes, vehicles, and cartoons. 'A lot of people want something that's uniquely theirs, something realistic, exquisite, made just for them,' Shreyas says. His work has evolved from childhood experiments to custom-made miniatures and scale models. With demand soaring, toy makers and sculptors like him are witnessing a new era where handmade models are treated less like toys and more like bespoke art. The craft has gained visibility, thanks to social media. 'We can now market directly to collectors hungry for intricate craftsmanship that mass production still can't replicate.' For artists, it's a space where passion meets livelihood, and for collectors, it's a way to own something one-of-a-kind. Lawyer Divyanshu Singh began his love affair with cars almost as soon as he could walk. By the time he was two, he was already obsessed. He shares, 'My mother, doting as ever, fed this passion.' But it wasn't until college in 2014 that Divyanshu decided to start over—this time with the careful eye of a connoisseur. 'I approached it with seriousness, understanding the collectible value, knowing what I liked, and being very intentional,' he says. Today, his collection of scale model cars is a testament to both his automotive passion and his maturing taste. 'I don't just collect cars—I collect stories, design marvels, and pieces that represent the evolution of my hobby,' he adds. Sourcing, however, is an adventure in itself. 'This isn't a mainstream hobby,' he continues, 'Models are often hard to find in India or ridiculously priced. I've chased them across countries, navigated multiple sellers; it's like a treasure hunt with a budget constraint.' Of all his prized possessions, one stands out: the Mercedes-Benz W204 C-Class by AUTO art, a gift from a senior collector friend, Rohan. 'We were just hanging out one Sunday, and as I was leaving, he surprised me with this model. It's a 1:18 scale model, insanely detailed—with all functional parts—opening hood and trunk, and even carpeted interiors,' Divyanshu shares. A friend, who owns the real version of that car, once offered him $500 for it. But there was no question he'd part with that one. The meteoric rise of adult toy collecting has pushed prices into investment territory. Globally, the toy market is booming, with an anticipated CAGR of 3.1 per cent from 2024 to 2035, expected to reach a staggering $160.4 billion by 2035. Blind-box toys like Labubu are fuelling speculative trading—retail `2,500-15,000, but resell for much higher. Even in India, collectors are not just spending, they're investing, trading, and treating toys as cultural artefacts. As a college student, Nikhil Kamath, author and content strategist, wasn't hoarding notes for finals; he was dashing between McDonald's outlets across Delhi, chasing down Happy Meal toys. The year was 2015, the Minions movie had just hit theatres, and those bright yellow figurines ignited a spark that's now evolved into a wall-spanning collection of Funko Pops, Hot Wheels, and hard-to-find character toys. What began as playful curiosity quickly snowballed into a passionate pursuit that Nikhil now describes as equal parts pop culture tribute and emotional diary. 'I grew up seeing my cousin collect cool figurines of comic book characters, and it always fascinated me,' he says. 'When I started collecting myself, it was about the joy of the hunt.' Today, he sees it as collecting art. His first love was the Happy Meal line, now discontinued in India, but it laid the foundation for what would become a more serious passion: collecting Funko Pop figurines. 'If I like a movie or a character, I immediately check if Funko makes a figure,' he adds.
