Mercedes-AMG took guidance from customers who sought an even more powerful and responsive car for public roadways and racetracks than the earlier models. The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Pro 4Matic+ appeals to drivers who want to be competitive, not just capable, on the track.

Major changes in the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Pro 4Matic+

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.

Hot Wheels 2025 F1 race cars collection.

In October 2024, Mattel's Hot Wheels and F1 announced a partnership to create Hot Wheels versions of F1 cars. The Mattel products were scheduled for release in 2025, and at the time of the announcement, the sole inaugural car available for pre-order was an F1 car with Hot Wheels livery. This week, the partners revealed the first wave of Hot Wheels F1 products.
Why F1 is partnering with a toy company

Hot Wheels is a globally successful brand, with F1 fans eager to take part in the fun and excitement. The partnership is logical and highly likely to be a plum money-maker for both parties, especially with F1's continued rapid rise in popularity in the U.S.

Formula 1 collectors have a rare opportunity to bid on a historic racecar driven by two of the 20th century's greatest drivers. RM Sotheby's accepts registration from parties wishing to bid on the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R Stromlinienwagen that F1 five-time World Champion Juan Manual Fangio drove to win the 1955 Buenos Aires Grand Prix.
Why the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R Stromlinienwagen is so special

The W 196 R was the Mercedes-Benz car built for Grand Prix racing when the company returned to racing after World War II. The car's success in the 1955 season design demonstrated the company's resources and readiness to dominate. Different bodywork was used in different races. For example, when Fangio drove the car in Buenos Aires, it had an open-wheel body.

2025 Suzuki DR-Z4S DualSport for the best of both worlds
If you could only have one motorcycle, the DR-Z4S is a likely candidate

Suzuki's 2025 motorcycle lineup includes a redesigned chassis, frame, and a new 398cc engine for the midsize 2025 DR-Z4S DualSport bike. Rider assistance features enhance the DR-Z4's handling and stability on and off the road, extending adventures for riders of all experience levels.
Why a dual-purpose motorcycle makes sense

The desire to own several types of motorcycles must be a universal characteristic for bikers, but budget, storage space, and family harmony often restrict us to a single machine. So, unless you have a very narrow riding interest, such as off-road only on hilly desert terrain or ultra long-distance highway touring, the most practical type of motorcycle is a dual-purpose model, often called an adventure bike.
