With the Miami Grand Prix weekend revving into full gear, Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the limited-run GT 63 “APXGP Edition”, a dramatic road-going tribute to the upcoming Apple Originals Formula 1 film starring Brad Pitt.
The special edition coupe celebrates the cinematic world of high-speed racing portrayed in the film F1, directed by Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski. The movie, shot during actual Grand Prix weekends, follows Pitt as a retired Formula 1 driver who returns to the paddock to mentor a young rising star played by Damson Idris. Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton is among the film’s producers, while Mercedes-AMG played a pivotal role in shaping the fictional APXGP team—both on and off the track.
In addition to supplying cars for the production—including AMG GTs, SLs, G-Classes, and the FIA’s safety and medical vehicles—Mercedes also contributed to the design of the film’s F1-inspired race cars, which were built on Formula 2 chassis and dressed to resemble top-tier machines.
The GT 63 APXGP Edition brings that fantasy to life for the street. Finished in matte black with race gold accents, the coupe features checkered-flag graphics near the fender vents, matching 21-inch matte gold forged wheels, and a full carbon-fiber aero kit with an aggressive fixed rear wing. A black chrome finish coats the grille, rear star, and AMG crest as part of the exclusive Night Edition Package.
Though performance specs have not yet been revealed, the APXGP Edition is expected to mirror the top-of-the-line GT 63 variants, with a twin-turbo V8 and track-focused enhancements.
Production will be extremely limited, and the car is expected to become a collectible among both motorsport fans and cinephiles.
