Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Coupe

The GT 63 Coupe is built to do two jobs that usually need two different cars. At its centre is a 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 making 577 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, fed through AMG 4MATIC+ and a 9-speed gearbox. That gives it a 3.2-second run to 100 km/h and a 315 km/h top speed, with the four-wheel-drive traction to use it. The character changes with your right foot, hard and vocal one moment and composed the next.

Inside it is a true 2+2. Two adults sit up front in cooled Nappa leather, and the rear seats take a passenger for a short hop or swallow luggage for a weekend away. The Burmester system, the AMG drive modes and the rear-axle steering stay in the background until you call on them. It is the kind of car that suits a driver who wants supercar pace and still keeps the comfort that makes a car easy to live with.

Around town the GT 63 draws a steady, knowing look rather than a crowd, which is part of why it works so well along the Palm Jumeirah crescent and through Business Bay. The Selenite Grey finish keeps it understated until you open it up. On the empty stretches near Al Qudra at first light, the V8 reminds you exactly what you are paying for, with carbon ceramic brakes to wash the speed off again.

Most clients keep it for a few days of mixed driving, with marina evenings in Dubai Marina and JBR and longer cruises out to Hatta on the weekend. Renting it for a week or two costs a fraction of the depreciation you would carry owning one in this climate. We deliver it to your door full of fuel and detailed, and collect it when you are done.
