Affalterbach. This year, movie theatres will be the hot spot for Formula 1® fans worldwide: the event 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. As an official promotional partner of Apple Original Films and Warner Bros. Pictures, Mercedes-AMG supported the film crew with F1® team know-how as well as performance vehicles and sports-car models from its current portfolio. Off the racetrack, an SL, a G-class and a 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 is presenting the highly exclusive special edition AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ APXGP Edition ahead of the film’s release. It features numerous individual design elements and equipment details that are closely related to the design from the film’s fictitious APXGP Formula 1® team. The Mercedes-AMG GT combines highly dynamic driving characteristics with unrestricted everyday practicality. High-tech components like the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with semi-active roll stabilisation, rear-axle steering as standard and active aerodynamics sharpen its driving profile. In combination with the 430 kW (585 hp) AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine and fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, it delivers a driving experience of the highest level. The 2+2-seater configuration and sophisticated aluminium body structure offer both comfort and practicality.

F1 brilliantly intertwines the fictional APXGP team with the real-world Formula 1®. The thrilling storyline and realistic race footage will set moviegoers' hearts racing. We're excited to showcase our performance vehicles, including the dynamic AMG GT, in this high-performance setting. With the exclusive APXGP Edition, we're creating a limited number of GTs that blend AMG's excitement with the cinematic masterpiece F1, said Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Head of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class & Mercedes-Maybach divisions.

F1 stars Brad Pitt as a former driver who returns to Formula 1®, alongside Damson Idris as his teammate at APXGP, a fictional race team. The film was shot during real-life Grand Prix weekends.
