THE RUSH OF PERFORMANCE OUT IN THE OPEN

The all-new Mercedes-AMG GT and GT C Roadster The Mercedes-AMG GT S and GT R introduces the thrill of racing to the all-American road. Now, Mercedes-AMG introduces the thrill of the elements: The AMG GT and AMG GT C Roadsters bring all the excitement of driving a racer to the joy of driving a convertible. The new Roadsters inject fresh air into the tradition of exquisite power, with a Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 Biturbo with dry-sump lubrication. The AMG GT C takes this to another level entirely, borrowing from the AMG GT R’s technical refinements to deliver 550 hp and peak torque of 502 lb-ft.* In combination with the GT R’s rear-axle steering system, it guarantees dynamic performance at the very highest level. All that power announces itself in a distinctively athletic appearance these roadsters move, even when they’re not in motion. Those dramatic exterior lines are echoed

inside, with a wide dashboard, high beltlines, concave door panels, and a dynamically rising center console. With a new, light-colored interior in Macchiato Beige Exclusive Nappa leather with a diamond waterfall stitch pattern, available for the first time, the sense of exclusivity is felt immediately. When the sunshine beckons, the fabric roof opens (and closes) in approximately 11 seconds, at speeds of up to 31 mph. It’s supported by a lightweight magnesium/ steel/aluminum structure to keep the center of gravity responsively low. Where some dream of cars that push the limits of power, Mercedes-AMG has made the dream of performance an open reality.
