Mercedes hopes that by providing not one, but two unique variations of the Mercedes-AMG GT roadster it will breathe fresh air into the sports convertible industry.
Whenever Mercedes releases a flagship hardtop sportscar, something is always specific, that a soft-top variation won’t be far behind. However, with the brand-new AMG GT, the company is going one better and offering costumers the option of 2 models, each with their own qualities.
The Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster will feature 476 hp and 630 Nm of torque, which together offers a 302 km/h top speed and a 0-100 km/h time of simply 4.0 seconds. Its AMG sport suspension will guarantee that it offers fun in the bends, roofing system up or down, and for when more is needed from the automobile, there’s a sport and a sport + mode.
However, plump for the AMG GT C Roadster and other things goes up a notch. Together with sport and sport + modes, the motorist can choose ‘Race’ and in doing so unleash each of the car’s 557 hp, struck the 316 km/h top speed and go the 0-100km/ h dash in 3.7 seconds.
However the C model isn’t merely more powerful it’s likewise a lot more vibrant in every sense. And this is due to the fact that Mercedes has imbued it with much of the innovation that was recently introduced on the AMG-GT R ‘flagship flagship’ sports coupé including rear-wheel steering and a state-of-the-art electronic differential.
The AMG GT C is likewise broader at the rear so that it can accommodate larger 20-inch wheels.
The final significant difference is AMG Ride Control suspension which provides active damping based on the ride selector, that is– comfort, sport or race, and obviously the roadway surface.
“With our 2 Roadster models, we are strategically broadening the AMG GT family by two exciting variations. With the AMG GT C Roadster, we are likewise presenting a new design variant to which we have transferred main performance-related elements from our leading sports car, the AMG GT R. The result: an extremely dynamic driving experience in a very exclusive environment, combined with that pure roadster sensation,” stated Tobias Moers, Chairman, Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
Both cars will be making their worldwide debut at the Paris motor show on September 28 prior to going on sale in early 2017 when Mercedes will validate rates and delivery.
