Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S

Editorial

The four-door AMG GT is Affalterbach's attempt to build a flagship grand tourer of its own design: not a "hopped-up E-Class," but a standalone model on a sports platform, with a liftback body and a seating position lower than in classic sedans. The 63 S version tops the line: where the junior variants (including the hybrid 53) bet on a compromise between efficiency and dynamics, the 63 S is the pure, maximum expression of the formula, undiluted.

At its core is AMG's signature 4.0-liter biturbo V8 — the same architectural block found under the hood of the fleet's C63 and G63, but tuned for maximum output. Permanent 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive and an active electronic stability system make that power manageable in any weather, not just on a dry track. Yet the body remains a four-door, five-seat liftback — a rare combination of supercar dynamics with the practicality of an ordinary sedan.

Within the VertexRent fleet, the GT 63 S occupies the niche of the most powerful four-door car — SUVs like the G63 aside. It's a car for those who need both room for passengers and maximum AMG dynamics at the same time, without being ready to compromise on either front.

In Detail

The powertrain is a 4.0-liter AMG Biturbo V8, with 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 315 km/h, all-wheel drive (4MATIC+). The fleet unit's model year is 2023.

In practical terms, this means the GT 63 S suits situations where maximum AMG dynamics are needed but a strict two-seat coupe format won't do — a business trip with a colleague, a family weekend with one child in the back seat, a statement arrival as a foursome. Current rental rates, the deposit, and the mileage limit are listed in the "Sazby" block and in the facts card on this same page.

The exact interior specification (trim materials, audio system, driver-assistance packages) is not detailed on the site for this particular unit. Based on the general logic of the AMG lineup in this class, you should expect sport seats, a digital instrument cluster, and a premium audio system, but this should be confirmed on arrival rather than assumed by default.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S vs BMW M5 — two answers to the question "fast four-door"

Both cars solve the same problem — maximum dynamics in a body with four full-size doors — but by different means. The GT 63 S is a pure gasoline V8 with no electrification, a liftback with a lower seating position than a typical sedan and permanent all-wheel drive. The M5 (G90) has a hybrid powertrain with an electric mode for city driving and a classic five-seat sedan body. The GT 63 S's body is more compact and sportier-looking; the M5 is more versatile in cabin format. The choice between them usually comes down to what matters more: the pure sound of a V8 with no electronics, or next-generation hybrid technology.

What to check behind the wheel if you're considering buying a GT 63 S

This is the most powerful non-sports-bodied AMG model available in Prague, and a full-day test covers questions an ordinary dealer test drive never gets to. Check the back-row seating position — the liftback silhouette looks more dramatic than a sedan's, but rear headroom is noticeably lower, and it's worth checking in advance with tall passengers. Assess the real trunk capacity against your own trip format. Run the car over the cobblestones and speed bumps of the historic center — the low ride height demands care on rough surfaces. And separately, listen to the V8's sound across the rev range: not everyone wants that kind of daily theater, and a full day behind the wheel is enough to figure out where you stand on it.

Suggested Route

A powerful AWD grand tourer suits a fast but varied direction — the D5 highway southwest toward Plzeň, with the option to detour to Švihov Castle: good-quality asphalt, sufficiently long stretches to unleash the all-wheel-drive dynamics, and a stop with historical flavor on the way back. This southwestern direction isn't yet claimed by other listings in the fleet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the GT 63 S be picked up right at the airport?

Yes, the car can be delivered anywhere in Prague, including Václav Havel Airport. The exact time and place of handover are arranged when the booking is confirmed.

How many people fit in the GT 63 S?

Five — it's a four-door liftback, not a coupe. The back row is designed for two adult passengers, with a headroom limitation due to the sporty body silhouette.

How does the GT 63 S differ from the BMW M5 in this same fleet?

The GT 63 S is a pure gasoline V8 with no hybridization, in a liftback body with permanent all-wheel drive. The M5 has a hybrid powertrain in a classic sedan with an electric mode for city driving. Both are the top four-door variants of their respective brands, but with a different powertrain philosophy.

Do you need extra driving experience to rent an AMG in this class?

Age and experience requirements are the same across the whole VertexRent fleet: 21 years old and a minimum of 2 years of driving experience. There are no additional heightened requirements for the GT 63 S.

Can this car be driven outside the Czech Republic?

Yes, subject to arrangement with the manager — this rule applies to the entire VertexRent fleet with no model exceptions: the deposit doubles from the standard amount for a cross-border trip (the current amount is in the facts block on this same page). The destination and dates are arranged in advance when booking.
