Mercedes-AMG GT 63: Price, Variants, Comparisons (2025 Guide)
A 4.0-litre V8 with 577 horsepower is a hard thing to justify on a spreadsheet — and even harder to forget after a test drive. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 has always been that kind of car: impractical in the best way, yet oddly sensible next to the BMW M8 and the Porsche 911 Turbo S. With 2025 UK list prices spanning £101,500 to £182,855 in the UK motoring title Top Gear’s review, this guide breaks down the four GT 63 variants, what they cost in Ireland, and which one is quickest.

How much does an AMG GT 63 cost?
The honest answer starts with a currency symbol and an option sheet. The official Irish page lists the AMG GT Coupé range from €226,905, while UK coverage puts the GT 63 family entry point at £101,695 — and the E Performance near £186,290.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 price in the UK
- National UK newspaper The Telegraph lists the AMG GT63 from £101,695, with a press car at £164,905.
- Motoring Research prices the 2025 GT 63 Coupé at £164,905 — matching the Telegraph’s as-tested car.
- evo prices the 2025 GT 63 S E Performance at £186,290.
Between Top Gear’s £101,500 entry figure and evo’s £186,290 for the hybrid, UK pricing spans roughly £85,000. The £164,905 GT 63 Coupé is the figure that matters most — it sits at the middle of the range in every market, and it’s the version most buyers actually weigh up.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 price in Ireland
- The official Mercedes-Benz Ireland page shows the AMG GT Coupé range starting at €226,905 — but that’s the entry point, not the GT 63 S.
- The MSL dealer price list puts the GT 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé at €279,495 and the GT 63 S E Performance Coupé at €392,795.
- Both documents apply to the first quarter of 2025; later Irish pricing hasn’t been published in the same level of detail.
The gap between the two Irish headline numbers is the real story: €113,300 separates the GT 63 S from the E Performance — more than many buyers spend on an entire car. The Q1-2025 MSL sheet is the only comprehensive Irish price document in the verified record, which makes it the reference point for anyone negotiating in 2025-2026. For buyers looking to find official vehicle dealers in Ireland, the MSL list is the starting point.
Irish list prices run well above UK equivalents for the same hardware: the GT 63 S Coupé sits at €279,495 in Ireland, while UK reviews anchor the GT 63 Coupé at £164,905. Currency explains some of the difference; the Irish market’s pricing structure explains the rest.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S price
- US market: the 2026 GT63 S E Performance 4-Door Coupé is listed at $201,750, and Cars.com’s optioned test car crossed $231,970.
- Car and Driver’s tested 2025 GT63 S E Performance coupe reached $218,850.
Options move the numbers quickly in every market. The gap between GT 63 and GT 63 S is 53 hp and extra equipment; the gap between the S and the E Performance is 213 hp and a premium that stops being rational once you add options.
The pattern: this is a range where the middle variant is the smart buy and the top variant is the emotional one. Irish buyers pay the biggest premium for that emotion.
Which AMG GT63 is the fastest?
The verified record answers this differently than the marketing does: the GT 63 S is the fastest variant with a confirmed 0-60 time, the E Performance is the most powerful at 843 hp, and the GT 63 Pro is the track-focused flagship. The hybrid’s own 0-60 figure isn’t in the sources we reviewed.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S top speed and acceleration
- 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds with a 196 mph top speed (Top Gear)
- GT 63 S: 630 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque
- GT 63: 577 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque
The 53 hp gap between the two V8s is the difference between fast and properly fast. The S also adds an active rear spoiler, dynamic engine mounts and active aerodynamics, which is where the standard car’s composure turns into something more serious. The GT 63 S E Performance arrived during the 2024-2025 model transition; evo’s review appeared in July 2024.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance power output
- 843 hp combined from a 4.0-litre V8 plus hybrid assistance (evo)
- UK list price of the 2025 model: £186,290
The E Performance is the most powerful GT 63 in the verified specs, and it’s the only one with electricity in the mix. In Ireland, the MSL sheet prices it at €392,795, which makes it the most expensive GT 63 in the record. The extra 213 hp over the GT 63 S comes with extra hardware and a much larger price tag.
At 843 hp, the E Performance is the power benchmark in the GT 63 line — but in Ireland it costs €113,300 more than the GT 63 S. That’s a five-figure premium for roughly 200 extra horsepower and a hybrid system.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Pro performance
- Track-focused configuration with more power than the standard GT 63
- Set to serve as the 2026 Formula 1 safety car
The Pro is the halo version: AMG’s answer to buyers who want a GT 63 that behaves like a track car on Sunday and a grand tourer on Monday. Official standalone power figures weren’t in the verified sources; the 2026 F1 safety-car role is the clearest signal of the package’s intent.
What this means: the GT 63 S is the pure-V8 performance pick, the E Performance is the power pick with a price to match, and the Pro is the halo that carries the brand’s racing credibility.
What is the difference between GT63 and GT63 S?
The gap between GT 63 and GT 63 S is 53 hp and extra equipment. GT 63 produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque; the GT 63 S delivers 630 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. The S also adds an active rear spoiler, dynamic engine mounts and active aerodynamics (Top Gear). The gap between the S and the E Performance is 213 hp and a premium that stops being rational once you add options.
Which is faster, BMW M8 or AMG GT 63?
On paper, the AMG and the M8 are close: both use twin-turbo V8s and both reach 60 mph in around three seconds. The Porsche 911 Turbo S is the third benchmark in this conversation, and it’s the one that beats both on the stopwatch.
0-60 mph comparison
- AMG GT 63 S: 2.9 seconds
- BMW M8 Competition: matches the AMG’s 0-60 time
- Porsche 911 Turbo S: 2.6 seconds — quickest of the three
The 0.3-second gap between the 911 and the AMG is real, but it shrinks in everyday conditions: the AMG’s 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive makes its launch easier to reproduce on a damp road than a rival’s. The M8’s match is the headline here — two very different cars, the same sprint time.
Top speed comparison
- AMG GT 63 S: 196 mph
- BMW M8 Competition: above 190 mph, same as the AMG
- Porsche 911 Turbo S: not stated in the verified sources
Telegraph and Top Gear coverage put the AMG and M8 above 190 mph, which is bragging-rights territory rather than usable pace. The verified record doesn’t include a Porsche top-speed figure, so the comparison stops at 196 mph.
Track performance
- The AMG’s lower centre of gravity gives it a cornering edge over the M8
- 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive keeps the power usable on corner exit
Motoring Research’s review credits the GT 63’s packaging — long bonnet, short overhangs — for its agility. The M8 counters with comfort and the 911 with lap times, but neither matches the AMG’s blend of four usable seats, all-wheel drive and a low centre of gravity. For buyers who weigh resale value, the 911 is the stronger asset; for buyers who weigh practicality, the AMG is the easier daily.
Between the M8 and the 911, the AMG is the only one that pairs four usable seats with 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive and the option of a 196 mph V8 — a combination that’s hard to replicate anywhere else in the segment.
The trade-off: the 911 wins the stopwatch and resale value, the M8 matches the AMG’s pace with its own grand-touring character, and the AMG wins the argument about space and all-weather ability.
Which is better, Mercedes-AMG GT63 S or Porsche 911 Turbo S?
The Porsche 911 Turbo S is quicker to 60 mph (2.6 seconds vs the AMG’s 2.9 seconds per Car and Driver), but the AMG GT63 S offers more passenger space and standard 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. The 911 Turbo S carries a higher resale value: for buyers who weigh resale, the 911 is the stronger asset; for buyers who weigh practicality, the AMG is the easier daily. The AMG splits the difference — 911-rivalling pace in a body that seats four.
Three rivals, one pattern: the AMG splits the difference — 911-rivalling pace in a body that seats four.

Two sides of the same V8: what the GT 63 gets right, and what it costs you.
Upsides
- A twin-turbo V8 stretching from 577 hp to 843 hp across the range.
- 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive makes the power usable in all weather.
- 2+2 seating with more passenger space than a 911 Turbo S.
- A lower centre of gravity that delivers genuine cornering ability.
Downsides
- Around 19 mpg combined — the V8 drinks when you use it.
- Irish pricing is steep: €279,495 for the GT 63 S, €392,795 for the E Performance.
- Boot space is limited, and the rear seats suit children or small adults.
- The hybrid’s €113,300 premium over the GT 63 S is hard to justify on running costs alone.
Is the AMG GT a reliable car?
The verified sources don’t publish an AMG-specific service interval. Owner reports point to a robust engine and gearbox, with minor electronics issues the most common irritation. For owners watching costs, performance exhaust and automotive repair shops are the typical first port of call. The AMG GT is generally reliable but expensive to maintain; the engine and transmission are robust, and Mercedes-Benz Ireland’s warranty covers 3 years with unlimited miles.
A quick calibration: what the verified record confirms, and where it runs out.
Confirmed facts
- UK pricing for the AMG GT family spans £101,500 to £182,855 in 2025 coverage.
- The official Irish entry point for the AMG GT Coupé range is €226,905.
- The GT 63 S produces 630 hp, reaches 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and tops out at 196 mph.
- The GT 63 Pro will serve as the 2026 Formula 1 safety car.
What’s unclear
- Irish pricing beyond the first quarter of 2025 isn’t covered by the MSL dealer price list.
- Independent long-term reliability statistics for the GT 63 family are scarce.
- A specific discontinuation date for the GT 63 S hasn’t been announced.
- Standalone power and torque figures for the GT 63 Pro aren’t in the verified record.
The AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé is priced at €279,495 in Ireland, with the AMG GT 63 S E Performance Coupé at €392,795.
— MSL Mercedes-Benz Ireland price list, Q1 2025
The AMG GT 63 S hits 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and tops out at 196 mph.
— Top Gear’s AMG GT review
The 2026 US-market GT63 4-Door Coupé starts at $159,600, while the E Performance starts at $201,750.
The AMG GT 63 decision narrows to two cars for Irish buyers: the GT 63 S at €279,495 and the E Performance at €392,795. UK buyers face the same choice at £164,905 and £186,290, which makes the S look like the value pick in both markets. If the hybrid’s 843 hp justifies the €113,300 jump, take the E Performance; otherwise, the pure-V8 S is the rational buy. For the Irish buyer, the choice is clear: take the GT 63 S and keep €113,300 in your pocket, or take the E Performance and accept that the hybrid premium will be hard to recover — a risk the 911 Turbo S, with its stronger resale value, does not carry.
