About The Mercedes-AMG® GT 63 APXGP Edition

The “F1” movie, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, brought the excitement of Formula 1 racing to the big screens—and homes across San Diego and beyond for those watching on demand. This sport comes alive in the film with help from real race car drivers and real race cars, such as the Mercedes-AMG® Formula 1 vehicles. 

Mercedes-AMG® also collaborated with the film to develop a limited-edition coupe that is closely similar to the movie’s fictional APXGP Formula 1 team cars. With just 52 of these vehicles produced globally, the Mercedes-AMG® GT 63 APXGP Edition is a special model for collectors. Learn more about this coupe below with Mercedes-Benz of El Cajon.
