Larte Design Gives the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S a Carbon-Heavy Desert Look

Even if the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S is a bit outdated, compared with the latest sports cars from AMG, the model is still what tuners are looking for for their stand-off projects. One fine example is the one seen in the media gallery below, which has received a body treatment from the famous tuner Larte Design. The car was taken to the desert in the United Arab Emirates for a standout photo session.

The car is painted in Green Hell Magno and the dry-carbon items provide a very nice contrast to the matte green body. Larte’s name appears in several places, too. It features a badge right in the middle of the rear, between the AMG badge (left) and the GT 63 S badge (right). There’s another big logo on the front grille as well and another one up top, plus a shield on the hood.

The front end gets an oversized splitter, large enough to change the attitude of the whole car. Side skirts continue the same theme, while the hood has a vented design. Nothing subtle here. Or, better said, subtlety left the room once the carbon kit arrived.

At the back, the package grows even busier. The diffuser uses six fins, and the middle fins seem to carry extra brake lights. Oversized tailpipe trims sit on the sides. A roof-mounted wing joins a second trunk-lid wing, and the latter has side blades plus a split center section. The result looks deliberately loud, especially in bright desert light.

The wheels follow the same strange-confidence brief. Larte fitted aero-style rims, and they appear to spin around red brake calipers. The article notes the interior seems untouched, and Larte says the powertrain stays stock as well. For this car, stock hardly means slow.

The V8 still makes 630 horsepower, or 470 kW and 639 ps. Torque stands at 664 lb-ft, or 900 Nm. Those figures give the standard Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S a top speed of 196 mph, equal to 315 kph. The run from 0 to 62 mph, or 0 to 100 kph, takes 3.2 seconds.

So the tuning work here focuses on theater, not extra output. Some buyers prefer that approach, especially on a car already quick enough from the factory. The GT 63 S has the speed, the stance, and now a body kit loud enough for a desert photo shoot. Whether the mix feels tasteful or excessive depends on your tolerance for carbon fiber, badges, wings, and big visual statements.
