Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4Matic+ vs AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4Matic+ F1 Edition
Verdict
At RM2,088,888 against RM2,118,888, the F1 Edition asks another RM30,000, but the numbers are otherwise the same: 630 hp and 900 Nm from the 3,982 cc twin-turbo V8, 204 hp and 320 Nm from the electric drive, 2.9 seconds to 100 km/h and 316 km/h. Safety, cabin kit, warranty and the RM6,549 annual road tax also match. For Malaysia, the regular car is the cleaner buy unless the F1 Edition trim itself matters.
AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4Matic+
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4Matic+ if you want the same 2.9-second, 316 km/h package and cabin/safety kit for RM30,000 less.
AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4Matic+ F1 Edition
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4Matic+ F1 Edition if the F1 Edition identity is worth RM30,000 to you and you are not expecting extra performance on paper.
