Mercedes AMG GT 63 Pro and AMG GT 63 to launch on June 27 in India
Both models will continue to come with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine
The new-generation Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic+ and the more performance-oriented AMG GT 63 Pro 4Matic+ are set to debut in India on June 27. Mercedes India announced back in January that it plans to launch a total of 8 models throughout 2025, and the introduction of these performance vehicles will represent the company's 4th and 5th launches of 2025. This launch also signifies the return of AMG's flagship to India after a five-year hiatus, as the first-generation model was discontinued in 2020.
The second-generation AMG GT was unveiled in August 2023, and Mercedes typically brings new models to India relatively quickly. This latest version features numerous enhancements compared to its predecessor, making it more practical. It is larger overall—182mm longer, 45mm wider, and 66mm taller—with a wheelbase that has increased by 70mm. Unlike its two-seater first-generation counterpart, this model offers a 2+2 seating arrangement. In addition to aerodynamic improvements and updated lighting, the overall design of the new AMG GT remains influenced by the original model.

It is paired with a new 9-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that distributes power to all four wheels through the brand's 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system. Mercedes claims it can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 315 km/h. AMG GT 63 Pro
The GT 63 Pro is the more high-performance variant of the AMG GT 63, featuring an upgraded version of the same V8 engine, now generating 612 hp and 850 Nm of torque—an increase of 27 hp and 50 Nm. Although it shares the same 0-100 kph time as the GT 63, the Pro can achieve 0-200 kph in 10.9 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds faster. Its top speed is slightly elevated at 317 kph.

Suzuki Swift Production Suspended In Japan As China Restricts Rare Earth Exports
Suzuki Motor had suspended production of its Swift car due to China's rare earth restrictions, two sources familiar with the matter said, becoming the first Japanese automaker to be affected by the export curb. The Japanese automaker had announced the planned production stoppage of the Swift subcompact, excluding the Swift Sport model, from May 26 through June 6, citing a shortage of components. Also Read: It did not elaborate beyond that, and a spokesperson said the company had no comment on the reason for the suspension, which was first reported by the Nikkei business daily. China's decision in April to suspend exports of a wide range of rare earths and related magnets has upended the supply chains central to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies, and military contractors around the world. Some European auto parts plants have also suspended output, and Mercedes-Benz is considering ways to protect against shortages of rare earths.
