The major update categories for the new AMG GT 63 Pro 4Matic+ include handling, power, enhanced cooling, better aerodynamics, and race-ready brakes, wheels, and tires. The new model features an  AMG Active Ride Contol suspension, active rear axle steering, active aerodynamics, and the AMB Performance 4Matic+ fully variable all-wheel drive.

The AMG 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo engine puts out 603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, 25 hp and 37 lb-ft of torque more than the AMG GT 63. Zero to 60 mph is estimated at 3.1 seconds, and 0-124 mph takes just 10.9 seconds. The GT 63 Pro 2Matic+ top speed is 197 mph.

Mercedes-AMG bolstered cooling with new high and low-temperature cooling circuits designed to optimize drivetrain temperatures and operating efficiency. The AMG’s radiators now have active cooling with improved circulation. Front, side, and rear aerodynamic structures are newly designed to increase downforce, resulting in about 33 pounds more than the non-Pro 4Matic+ model.

New carbon ceramic performance brakes and AMG Performance 21-inch Forged Split Soke Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires are standard, add to the AMG’s track readiness. For no additional cost, buyers can opt for Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R extreme performance tires for even greater track competitiveness. However, I suspect the ride harshness may be greater and the lifespan shorter than the standard tires.

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Pro 4Matic+ will begin arriving in dealerships in 2025.

MB AMG GT 43

Some cars are just instant home runs. When Mercedes-AMG debuted the first AMG GT back in 2014, you didn't have to be a car fanatic to appreciate the stunning good looks or throaty exhaust rumble of the newest member of the always fun Grand Touring market. Fast-forward a little more than a decade, and although we first got to lay eyes on the 2025 AMG GT 43 in March of this year, it was not until recently that pricing was made available to the drooling public.
The 2025 AMG GT 43 will start at $105,900

Despite being considered the "entry-level" model of the AMG GT lineup, the GT 43 has a starting price of $105,900, which does not include any destination or delivery fees.

Alpine F1 team will use Mercedes power units and gearboxes starting in 2026
With the new agreement, Alpine will be power unit customers, no longer potential suppliers to other teams.
Alpine and Mercedes-AMG F1 race cars.

After Renault's Alpine announced the decision to cease making engines for F1 race cars after 2025, that left open the question of where Alpine's F1 team would turn to source their engines. We now know the answer. Beginning in the 2026 season, Mercedes will supply the power units for Alpine's F1 race car. Mercedes will also supply the gearboxes used in the cars in 2026. The agreement to use Mercedes power units lasts through 2030, but Alpine plans to build and use their own gearbox starting in 2027.
Why Alpine's decision is a big deal
When Alpine disclosed it would cease building engines for F1 cars, it was a sea change for the manufacturer. Alpine and parent company Renault have historically been engine suppliers, providing engines to their F1 team and other teams. With the new agreement, Alpine will be power unit customers, no longer potential suppliers to other teams.
What the power unit supply deal means
The 2025 season will be the last season for the current power units. In 2026, F1 race cars and power units will be subject to next-generation FIA F1 rules and regulations. The new power units will have internal combustion engines that run on 100% biofuels and will use battery power more than the current power units.

Alpine will continue to build F1 engines at its Viry-Chatillon, France division through the end of the 2025 season, after which it will be re-purposed to Hypertech Alpine. Alpine's Enstone, UK division will continue to focus on the F1 race car's chassis.

The 2025 Porsche GT3 sits atop the company’s most prestigious lineage
992.2 Porsche GT3 debuts for 2025
porsche gt3 models

In the world of the autoverse, few vehicles command a loyal following like the Porsche 911. It is one of the longest-running nameplates in automotive history and the second-longest continuous sports car nameplate sold in the U.S., behind only the Chevy Corvette. Over nearly six decades, the iconic 911 has had a plethora of derivatives and variants over the years. Arguably, the purest of those sub-models is the GT3.

Introduced as part of the 996 lineup in 1999 and taking cues from the incredible 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS, the GT3 was created as a homologation model to allow Porsche to compete in FIA GT3 cup racing. Porsche has just announced the newest iteration of the GT3, internally designated 992.2. With a quarter of a century of history behind it, we decided to ride down memory lane and get you up to speed on this sensational radical racecar for the street.
