The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ makes its Formula 1® debut as the second official car – taking over from its predecessor, the C 63 S AMG Estate (fuel consumption combined: 10.8 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 246 g/km). The new Official F1® Medical Car is on standby for rapid emergency response and is crewed by up to three medics, including the FIA’s Medical Rescue Coordinator Dr Ian Roberts. Occupying the back seats are either one or two local medics – they come from a specialist clinic close to the respective racetrack.
The medical car follows the Formula 1® field during the first lap because the race cars are particularly densely packed in this critical phase of the race. In the event of an incident, this ensures the doctors can reach the accident site as quickly as possible and immediately start administering first aid. During the race, the Official F1® Medical Car waits on standby in the pit lane alongside the safety car.
To make sure no time is lost in the event of an emergency, the Official F1® Medical Car comes packed with maximum racetrack performance. The 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine delivers a peak output of 470 kW (639 hp) and accelerates the four-door coupé with standard trim from zero to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. Its top speed is 315 km/h. Like the safety car, its V8 engine, AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission, dynamic engine mounts and electronic rear locking differential are the same as in the regular road version. Another advantage over the C 63 S with rear-wheel drive is the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, which guarantees optimum traction and the highest level of driving safety even in bad weather and pouring rain.
