The year 2017 marks 50 years for the high performance brand from Affalterbach, and as a part of its anniversary celebrations, AMG unveils GT C Edition 50 – a more desirable coupe version of the GT C roadster we saw few months ago.
The Edition 50 will be available in two exclusive paint finishes: designo graphite grey magno and designo cashmere white magno. To give the exterior a distinctive look, black chrome highlights are applied to the side skirt trim, the front splitter, the trim strips in the air inlets of the Panamericana grille, the fins on the side air outlets in the front wings, the moulding on the rear diffuser and the exhaust tailpipe trims. The surface of the cross-spoke AMG forged wheels has been harmonised with the black chrome elements of the exterior.
The interior is marked by a contrast between black and silver. This colour scheme is followed not only by the trim in STYLE exclusive nappa leather in silver pearl/black with grey diamond-patterned contrasting topstitching, but also by the black AMG Performance steering wheel in DINAMICA microfibre with grey contrasting topstitching, “Edition” lettering on the steering wheel bezel and 12 o’clock mark in silver pearl.
To emphasise the sporty character, the Edition 50 comes as standard with the AMG Interior Night package, which includes such features as steering wheel spokes, shift paddles and door sill panels in black. The interplay between light and dark is further accentuated by silver seat belts and black chrome trim. The head restraint of the AMG Performance seat is embossed with “GT Edition 50”.
The GT C Edition 50 will pack the same 4.0 litre V8 Twin-Turbo engine, with figures same as the GT C Roadster, producing 557 hp @ 5750 – 6750 rpm and 680 Nm of torque @ 1900 – 5750 rpm, mated to a 7 Speed AMG SpeedShift DCT.
The AMG was founded in 1967 by former Mercedes engineers, and was fully acquired by Daimler AG in 2005.
