The making of F1: The Movie.

Mercedes-Benz on and off-screen

With a 70-year history in F1 and an involvement in motor racing dating to the very dawn of the motor car, Mercedes-Benz was the obvious automotive partner for F1: The Movie. Not only was Mercedes-Benz the engine supplier for the fictional APXGP (as shown by the Mercedes-AMG logo on the engine cover and three-pointed star on the car’s nose), our Applied Science Division helped design and create the F1-style bodywork so the cars looked like the real deal.

Several Mercedes-Benz vehicles were featured in the film, each one an extension of the character’s personality. There’s the powerful Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Pro 4MATIC+ for the brash, confident F1 rookie Joshua; the stylish Mercedes-AMG SL 63 4MATIC+ Roadster for the suave, charismatic team boss Ruben; and a rugged, vintage Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen for the laid-back, straight-talking Sonny.

To celebrate the film’s release, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the exclusive Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ ‘APXGP Edition’ at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix. Limited to 52 vehicles, the ‘APXGP Edition’ combines the incredible performance of the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé, with a colour scheme inspired by the livery of the fictional APXGP F1 team.

That same high-performance spirit lives on in the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ Coupé – a car that’s built for both the road and the racetrack. With a four-litre V8 biturbo engine, enhanced aerodynamics and more powerful cooling, this top-of-the-range model delivers exceptional dynamics and a sportier driving experience than ever before. But if that isn’t enough to make your heart race, these figures will: the AMG GT 63 PRO is capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 317km/h.

“The new AMG GT 63 PRO is the sportiest model in our AMG GT family,” says Michael Schiebe, chairman of the board of management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. “If you're looking to not only enjoy your AMG GT on the road but also tackle some fast laps on the racetrack, the GT 63 PRO is the ideal choice.”

Like F1: The Movie, the AMG GT 63 PRO is a thrilling experience – and ideal for sports car fans. 

F1: The Movie is currently showing in cinemas nationwide.
