Performance tested
The vehicle underwent independent performance testing by trusted motoring journalist Mark Jones, who recorded an impressive 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 2.76 seconds. Over 25 years of testing vehicles at Gerotek Testing Facility in Pretoria, Jones confirms that the latest GT 63 is the fastest-accelerating standard production car he has ever evaluated. The brand has stated that we will have a chance to drive the car soon, so we'll have a chance to experience it and share our thoughts with you!
