Mercedes-AMG revealed two new variants of the GT family, the AMG GT Roadster and the AMG GT C Roadster. Both share the same 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine with 7-speed AMG SpeedShift DCT transmission. While the GT Roadster produces 476 hp at 6,000 rpm and 630 Nm of torque between 1,700-5,000 rpm, the GT C Roadster is tuned to produce 557 hp between 5,750-6,750 rpm and 680 Nm of torque at 1,900-5,750 rpm.
The GT Roadster features an AMG Sports suspension, and the GT C Roadster has AMG Ride Control sport suspension with adaptive adjustable damping. Both are rear-wheel drive. The GT C comes with rear-axle steering and electronically controlled rear diff, borrowed from the GT R. The GT comes with 4 modes – C, S, S+, I and the more powerful GT C features an additional ‘Race’ mode.
Both convertibles have a fabric roof (available in black, beige, and a gorgeous red) that can open or close in around 11 seconds and it can do it while the car is going 50 km/h. The two AMG GT Roadsters will arrive in dealers in the fall of 2017. Pricing was not disclosed.
