Mercedes AMG’s Movie Star

Mercedes’ Special Edition

In a fascinating blend of cinema and automotive excellence, Mercedes has rolled out the AMG GT APXGP Edition to coincide with the upcoming release of Brad Pitt’s latest F1 film. Limited to just 52 units worldwide, this special edition draws inspiration from the fictitious racing team APXGP featured in the movie. The exterior dazzles with a striking black and gold color scheme reminiscent of those movie race cars.

Performance

This exclusive Mercedes coupe is built on the impressive GT 63 4MATIC+ platform. It boasts a robust 4.0-liter V8 engine equipped with twin turbochargers that churn out a hefty 585 horsepower. This powertrain is renowned not only for its raw power but also for its sophistication—providing both brisk acceleration and a soundtrack that could easily belong on a racetrack.

Exterior Details

True to its cinematic origins, the APXGP Edition flexes its theatrical flair. The car sports a matte black finish punched up with gold accents, including a standout gold outline on the otherwise blacked-out grille. This decorative theme continues along the side panels and ends with the eye-catching gold flair on the 21-inch wheels.

Special Packages

Adding to its exclusivity, Mercedes fitted this car with the AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber and Aerodynamics packages. This setup includes a fixed rear wing that’s all about keeping those tires glued to the road. The AMG Night Package II adds subtle, yet impactful black styling elements that give it a menacing look, even when parked.

Interior

Inside the cabin, the black and gold theme continues. The AMG Performance seats sport luxurious gold stitching, and gold accents are tastefully placed on the steering wheel, dashboard, air vents, and center console. Not just a pretty face, the interior is also packed with technology. A Burmester 3D audio system with 15 speakers turns every drive into a concert, while ambient lighting elevates the luxury experience. Unique to each model, a ‘Limited Edition 1 of 52’ badge reminds occupants of its rarity.

Final Thoughts

The AMG GT APXGP Edition isn’t just about looks. It’s about bringing a piece of cinema to life while offering a driving experience that rivals the best of the best. Compared to other cars in its class, few can match its blend of performance and showmanship. With films like F1 driving its inspiration, it’s no wonder these cars are as captivating as they are fast.

While price details remain under wraps, it’s safe to expect that this limited edition will land among some pretty exclusive company when it is released. Whether it’s cruising down a highway or sitting pretty on the driveway, the AMG GT APXGP Edition exudes a sense of spectacle that makes everyday driving feel a little more extraordinary.
