- Mercedes-AMG have unveiled the 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT63 APXGP Edition at the Miami Grand Prix as a direct tie-in with F1 starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris.
- Strictly 52 examples will be produced, boasting a black and gold livery inspired by the fictional AXGP F1 team the Joseph Kosinski film is centred upon.
- Official pricing for the 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT63 APXGP Edition remains TBC, though itโll be significantly more than the $370,400 of the regular model.
When youโre deeply involved with a $300 million Hollywood blockbuster starring Brad Pitt, helmed by the Top Gun: Maverick director, and based on the worldโs most popular motorsportโฆ billboards and plastic knick-knacks simply wonโt do. Youโre going to have to go big or stay the f**k home.
Thatโs precisely why this past weekend at the Miami Grand Prix, the 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT63 APXGP Edition was unveiled as a stunning visual homage to Joseph Kosinskiโs forthcoming F1 (but more specifically, the fictional APXGP team Pittโs Sonny Hayes races for).
The exterior, rich in matte black with gold accents, complements a distinctive chequered flag graphic on the front fender; while additional gold accents flow seamlessly from the grille to the rear diffuser.
โF1 brilliantly intertwines the fictional APXGP team with the real-world Formula 1,โ said Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Head of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class & Mercedes-Maybach divisions.
โThe thrilling storyline and realistic race footage will set moviegoersโ hearts racing. Weโre excited to showcase our performance vehicles, including the dynamic AMG GT, in this high-performance setting. With the exclusive APXGP Edition, weโre creating a limited number of GTs that blend AMGโs excitement with the cinematic masterpiece F1.โ
Inside, the theme continues with gold-tinged carbon fibre trim and black Nappa leather seats adorned with gilded contrast stitching. But the extraordinary level of detail doesnโt stop there: a gold-stitched AMG Performance steering wheel, gold accents on the dashboard and centre armrest, and even gold-lit AMG door sills elevate the cabin to another level of craftsmanship.
The 2026 GT63 APXGP Edition isnโt just a pretty face. Beneath the sleek exterior lies a 425kW twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 which, paired with all-wheel drive, ensures itโs a loving marriage between form and function. Adding to the track-inspired look are 21-inch AMG wheels finished in matte Race Gold and carbon-ceramic brakes; the AMG Carbon Fibre and Aerodynamics packages offering a motorsport aesthetic with a carbon-fibre front splitter, rear diffuser, and fixed rear wing.
With only 52 examples built, complete with a โLimited Edition 1 of 52โ badge to remind owners how exclusive the car is, the 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT63 APXGP Edition obviously targets the deep-pocketed car collectors. Official pricing hasnโt been confirmed, though itโs expected to be significantly more than the $370,400 of the current 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Coupe here in Australia.
F1 starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, on the other hand, arrives on June 26th, 2025.
