The second-generation AMG GT 63 has been making waves, mainly because of its notable 300kg weight gain and its shift to a 2+2 layout. Some say it's become too mature, but Brabus has the answer with its bold 'PowerXtra B40S-750' package.

Why the 'PowerXtra B40S-750'?

While the quirky name remains enigmatic, the enhancements are unmistakably impressive. The AMG GT 63 sports a fresh look with new radiator grille inserts, sleek splitters, and a slim rear spoiler—all crafted from carbon fiber, not chocolate. These features give the car a more aggressive profile.

Performance Boost

The original quad exhausts have been replaced with electronic valve-controlled stainless steel pipes. Alongside this, the 22-inch Monoblock 'Platinum Edition' forged alloys demand attention. Additionally, sports springs lower the car by 25mm, boosting its commanding presence.

Under the hood, Brabus has taken performance to the next level. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 now pumps out an impressive 740bhp and 664lb ft, slicing three-tenths off the 0-62mph sprint, achieving it in just 2.9 seconds, while maintaining a top speed of 196mph. However, the GT 63 'S E Performance' hybrid is just slightly faster.

Luxurious Interiors

Inside, the Brabus flair continues with stylish refinements. Expect illuminated logo panels, aluminum or exposed carbon pedals, and luxurious leather finishes on new mats. The options for seat upholstery and color customization are almost endless.

The Cost of Exclusivity

All these enhancements come at a price: €318,000, which is just over £262,000. Is it worth it for an AMG that aligns more with its raw, high-performance heritage?

  

Summary

The Brabus 750 brings a burst of dynamism to the second-gen AMG GT 63, elevating its design, power, and luxury. With a hefty price tag to boot, the question is whether this upgrade satisfies the craving for an AMG that echoes its wilder roots.
