ATLANTA: This year, movie theatres will be the hot spot for Formula 1 fans worldwide when the film of the summer, F1, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, hits the big screen.
Filmed at actual Formula 1 races around the world, the film will deliver authentic racing action combined with equally compelling characters and a powerful story.
Mercedes‑AMG supported the film crew with F1 team expertise as well as performance vehicles and sports cars from its current portfolio.
Off the racetrack, an AMG SL, G-class and GT are featured on screen.
The Mercedes‑AMG Official FIA F1 Safety Car and Medical Car were also provided for use in the movie, in action.
A global co-promotion campaign in AMG's core markets supporting the movie's release will round off the partnership.
At the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, Mercedes‑AMG presents the highly exclusive special edition 2026 AMG GT 63 "APXGP Edition" ahead of the film's release.
Advanced technology such as AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilization, active rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics deliver precise handling.
The sporty coupe also features a 577-hp Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine and AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive.
The exclusive AMG sports car architecture with its sophisticated bonded aluminum body structure allows for a spacious interior with available 2+2 seating and generous cargo space.
The "APXGP Edition," strictly limited to just 52 vehicles globally, is closely based on the movie and showcases a special APXGP Edition paint finish.
Numerous APXGP-specific designs have been painstakingly applied by hand based on the F1 film car's paintwork.
Amongst others, Race Gold accents can be seen on the surround of the AMG-specific radiator grille, front fenders (with checkered flag design), side sills, rear apron and rear diffuser blade.
The 21-inch AMG Forged Cross-Spoke wheels are also painted in matte Race Gold.
The black brake calipers of the AMG High Performance Carbon Ceramic Brake System with six-piston fixed calipers at the front and one-piston floating calipers at the rear provide a powerful contrast.
The AMG Carbon Fiber package with front splitter, side sill trims, rear diffuser, and in conjunction with the AMG Aerodynamics package, a fixed rear wing on the trunk lid in high quality carbon fiber emphasizes the connection to motorsport.
The AMG Extended Night Package also enhances the unique exterior of the "APXGP Edition” with elements finished in black chrome including radiator grille, AMG crest, model badging and Mercedes star at the rear of the vehicle.
An AMG fuel filler cap in silver chrome with AMG lettering further emphasizes the vehicle's sporty character.
