On the 3rd, Benz Korea introduced 15 top-tier vehicles and the premium personalized vehicle customization program 'MANUFAKTUR' at the '2025 Seoul Mobility Show' held at KINTEX in Ilsan, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province. This move is part of the plan to offer a more diverse product portfolio and luxury brand experience to domestic customers this year, aiming to further strengthen the brand’s foundation of luxury status.

Matthias Bechtel, CEO of Benz Korea, stated, "Mercedes-Benz’s core value, which has led the automotive industry through continuous innovation for over 140 years, is to create the cars that customers dream of." He added, "The top-tier vehicles and the MANUFAKTUR program showcased at this motor show are the results of Mercedes-Benz’s efforts to meet the high expectations of domestic customers."

The Mercedes-AMG GT embodies motorsport DNA, showcasing the essence of a top-tier sports car. It features powerful performance combined with stylish design. Among the new AMG GT lineup, the GT 55 4MATIC+ will be introduced first, equipped with a 4.0ℓ V8 biturbo engine (M177) and AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9-speed transmission, delivering a powerful output of 476 horsepower. The maximum torque matches that of the GT R model, which delivered the strongest performance in the first-generation GT lineup, at 700Nm. It will be launched next month with a price of 205.6 million KRW.

The GT 63 S E Performance, scheduled for release in the second half of this year, features a high-performance hybrid system combining a 4.0ℓ V8 biturbo engine and an electric motor. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, boasting the fastest acceleration among mass-produced AMG vehicles. It also includes an AMG high-performance battery with a new cooling module based on Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 racing car technology.
