Car changing is a big deal
The Mercedes-AMG GT APXGP Edition will be built in limited numbers to celebrate the new F1 movie featuring Brad Pitt.
This is the new Mercedes-AMG GT APXGP Edition, a limited-run version of the Porsche 911 alternative which has been created for the film F1, featuring Brad Pitt, which follows a fictitious Formula 1 team.
The Mercedes Formula 1 team offered support to the film crew, as well as supplying multiple cars to appear on screen including an SL, a G Glass and an AMG GT. Just 52 APXGP Editions will be built, however there’s no word on price just yet.
New Mercedes-AMG GT APXGP Edition: what’s new?
Design is pretty much the only thing separating the APXGP edition from a standard Mercedes-AMG GT; it gets plenty of gold accents.
The 21-inch forged wheels are finished in matt gold, as is the surround for the massive grille. You also get more gold on the front wings. There are numerous exterior livery designs to choose from as well, all based on the APXGP F1 car and all applied by hand.
Inside you get gold stitching on the seats and door cards, a panoramic glass roof and custom floor maps with the APXGP logo embroidered in them. Beyond this, you get a Burmester premium sound system, a 360-degree camera system and a head-up display.
New Mercedes-AMG GT APXGP Edition: engine and performance
The APXGP Edition is based on the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S, meaning it has a 585hp 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine and four-wheel drive. It’ll do 0-60 in around 3.2 seconds, and the top speed is pegged at 196 mph.
New Mercedes-AMG GT APXGP Edition: how much is it?
Good question. Mercedes hasn’t given a price for this car just yet, but given that just 52 will be made worldwide you can expect it to cost a fair amount more than the £170,000 you’ll pay for the standard AMG GT 63 S.
