Damson Idris made a grand entrance at the “F1” movie premiere, not just with his presence but with the jaw-dropping machine he pulled up in the Mercedes-AMG GT63 APXGP Edition. Now, this isn’t just any AMG. It’s a head-turning, spine-tingling fusion of motorsport fantasy and real-world madness, born straight out of Mercedes-AMG’s vision for a car that screams Formula 1 without ever needing a racetrack.
Drenched in a dramatic black and red livery inspired by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team’s colorways, the APXGP Edition looks like something Batman would drive if he traded Gotham for Monaco.
Under the hood, it’s still very much a brute powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to a hybrid system, pushing out a monstrous combined output that easily breaks past the 800-horsepower barrier. It’s not just fast, it’s theatrical. The bodywork features wild aerodynamic upgrades, a massive rear wing, exaggerated carbon fiber accents, and active aero that adjusts on the fly. The wheels? Forged and wrapped in slicks straight out of a race team’s wish list. And the interior? Stripped down yet futuristic, with F1-style yoke steering and telemetry displays that feel more simulator than sedan.
The GT63 APXGP isn’t even road-legal; it’s a showpiece, a concept brought to life to embody the essence of F1 performance in AMG’s most aggressive four-door coupe. So, Damson Idris pulling up in it wasn’t just a statement, it was a spectacle. In a night filled with stars and cinema, it was the machine that stole the spotlight unapologetically loud, absurdly fast, and dripping in motorsport fantasy.
