Now, let us take a look at everything that is offered by both the models:

Exterior

The exterior design of the GT 63 and GT 63 Pro are very sporty and aggressive, as is typical to other AMG offerings. Its design is an evolution to the older car, but thoroughly updated with modern touches. Both models come with projector LED headlights enclosed in a teardrop-shaped housing highlighted by sleek LED DRLs. It gets a massive black air intake channel at the front with carbonfibre elements that looks properly aggressive. It also gets active air flaps to maximise air intake to the engine.

In profile, it gets aggressive looking alloys with low profile tyres and two doors with flush-fitting door handles and a sloping roofline. All of these come together to give it a sleek look generally associated with a coupe.

The rear design is again aggressive with sleek connected tail lights having horizontal LED elements that look sporty especially at night. A black spoiler and a black diffuser with a quad-exhaust setup rounds off the overall look. 

The GT 63 Pro gets all these design elements, and adds bigger 21-inch alloy wheels that are lighter than the regular model’s rims. It also sits on better tyres and bigger brakes. It also gets improved aerodynamics and a more advanced engine cooling system.  

Interior

Step inside the cabin and you are welcomed by a sporty all-black interior theme, highlighted by soft-touch materials spread across the dashboard with contrasting stitching that adds a touch of visual contrast. The cabin features a 3-spoke AMG steering wheel equipped with controls for the infotainment system and cruise control, along with two rotary dials to adjust the drive mode and suspension settings. 

Adding to the premium feel are two digital displays and signature silver circular AC vents, which together create a modern and upmarket look generally associated with AMG cars. 

To further enhance the sporty appeal, the GT 63 and GT 63 Pro come with front sport seats. Unlike the previous model, the new GT now features a 2+2 seating layout. However, the rear seats are best suited for children or pets due to limited space.
