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.

All-electric 2025 MINI Countryman SE ALL4 coming to U.S. dealers in September

Mini USA introduced the all-electric 2025 MINI Countryman SUV by lighting up the Sphere last November during the 2023 F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. The 2025 MINI Countryman SE ALL4 will arrive at U.S. dealerships in September.
Why the MINI Countryman SE All4 is such a big deal

To a certain extent, we're still in the early days of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), so every new model is noteworthy in a decades-long transformation to driving predominantly electrified cars. However, the MINI is unique, not just because it's cute and famous for fun go-kart-like driving -- although both add to its appeal. In our large SUV and truck-obsessed automotive market, the MINI has grown in size somewhat, but it's still a smile-provoking ride.

The new 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV stands out with an impressive EPA-estimated all-electric range of up to 54 miles. It is now available at dealerships in the U.S. starting at $61,050, including destination and delivery fees.
Why the GLC 350e range matters

People have different opinions about plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs). Some, like Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson, believe that PHEVs might slow the adoption of fully electric vehicles (BEVs). On the other hand, Ford CEO Peter Farley thinks we need a mix of BEVs, hybrids, and gas-powered vehicles until battery costs decrease, making all-electric vehicles more affordable.
