2025 Mercedes AMG GT63 Review
The 2025 Mercedes AMG GT63 makes a thunderous return, solidifying its place in the luxury performance segment with an all-new second generation. Built on the same platform as the new SL roadster, this model marks a bold evolution. It's no longer just a supercar for the weekends—it's been reengineered as a daily driver that blends brute force with modern tech and refined comfort. Exterior The redesigned 2025 Mercedes AMG GT63 is longer and wider than its predecessor, allowing for a 2+2 seating configuration and a more commanding stance. A shorter front end still houses the signature long hood, while new active aerodynamic elements—including adaptive cooling vents and an underbody system—boost downforce by up to 30 kilograms for high-speed stability. A rear diffuser, quad exhaust pipes, carbon-fiber rear wing (optional with the AMG Performance Package), and new 3D taillights complete the aggressive yet elegant silhouette. Weight distribution is precisely balanced at 54% front and 46% rear. Interior Step inside, and you're immersed in Mercedes-Benz's vision of digital luxury. The cabin features an 11.5-inch touchscreen powered by the MBUX infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 5.7-inch Head-Up Display. The Burmester surround sound system not only elevates audio quality but also amplifies the engine note inside the cabin—compensating for tightened noise regulations. A practical touch comes via the front-axle lift system that raises the nose by 30 mm, with location memory that activates the lift automatically when needed. Mechanical Specifications: Abandoning the trend toward downsized engines, Mercedes brings back its legendary 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 in the new AMG GT 63. This engine cranks out 577 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, propelling the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. During real-world testing in hot and humid conditions, the car still managed a blistering 3.58-second sprint—showcasing the effectiveness of its cooling system and resilience under stress. All-Wheel Drive and Rear-Wheel Steering For the first time, the AMG GT adopts the 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, transforming its character entirely. What was once a raw, rear-wheel-drive sports car has become a more stable, confident, and approachable machine. Rear-wheel steering adds agility at low speeds and stability at high speeds, adapting seamlessly to any driving environment. Drift Mode: Despite the all-wheel-drive layout, Mercedes hasn't abandoned driving purists. A dedicated Drift Mode disconnects the front axle entirely, turning the car into a rear-wheel-drive monster capable of controlled slides and tire-shredding action—perfect for seasoned enthusiasts. 2025 Mercedes AMG GT63 Price In the UAE, the 2025 Mercedes AMG GT63 starts at $245,580 (AED 901,900 or SAR 920,930). It's pitched directly against high-caliber rivals like the Porsche 911 Turbo, Bentley Continental GT, and Aston Martin Vantage—offering a compelling mix of everyday usability and ferocious performance.

Bose, Bowers & Wilkins or Burmester? A great car audio system is worth paying for
For a firm to be considered premium these days, a top-tier 'branded' stereo is a non-negotiable element in its cars. But what many of us don't know is the amount of investment and development that goes into these systems, which have transformed a humble radio into an aural extravaganza. A car is a terrible place to start designing a sound experience, because the road noise, vibration and harshness – NVH in industry terminology – generate a colossal amount of white noise for the system to overcome. This changes, too, depending on the speed or road surface. And inside the cabin, the soundwaves bounce in all directions off the hard materials, such as glass and plastic. Advertisement - Article continues below A recent drive in a Porsche 911 GT3 proved this point, with the huge tyres and thin glass generating too much noise for the standard audio system to overcome at a motorway cruise – and that's on a car with a base price in excess of £130,000. It's no surprise, then, that many marques have turned to audio firms to help develop more powerful optional systems – each of which represent millions of pounds in investment and over the years have turned into a proper audiophile works with two HiFi specialists to create high-end set-ups for its cars, giving customers three choices, including the firm's own base system. On a £103,000 911 Carrera you can specify as an option either a £1,269 12-speaker BOSE Surround Sound package, or a 13-speaker Burmester High-End Surround Sound system for £4,020. What's the difference between the two? Aside from the extra speaker, Burmester's system also has a collated wattage upgrade to 915W from the BOSE's 570W. Can you hear the difference? Yes, most definitely. But things go into space from here, because certain car brands are becoming known specifically for their audio systems, which have all the technology and quality of the world's best home HiFi products. The Bowers & Wilkins set-up in the Polestar 3 SUV is only available when bundled into a combined £7,300 worth of option packages, but offers sound quality comparable to a top-tier home system. Bowers & Wilkins will sell you a pair of speakers for £90k without a car attached, making the Polestar feel like a bargain. So if you're speccing a new car and baulk at the cost of an optional high-end stereo, remember it's rarely a hollow upgrade and, for a connoisseur, possibly is worth more than the price of admission.
