Striking Design and Luxurious Interior
Drawing direct inspiration from the APXGP car seen in the movie, the GT 63 APXGP Edition boasts a striking matte black base, accentuated by bold Race Gold highlights.

Inside the cabin, black nappa leather and gold contrast stitching create a premium, race-inspired ambiance.
