Mercedes to launch two new AMG GT Roadsters

In a recent announcement, Mercedes has revealed that it is launching two new AMG GT Roadsters --- the new open-top convertible versions of the automaker’s AMG GT sports car.

One of the two new roadsters to be launched by Mercedes will be the base model -- the standard AMG GT Roadster; while the other will be a more powerful AMG GT C Roadster. Both the roadsters will likely arrive at dealerships in the fall of 2017.

The pricing of the two new AMG GT Roadsters has not yet been officially disclosed by Mercedes.

According to the details shared by Mercedes, all the AMG GT models will be powered by the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine, which is internally code-named M178. The engine of the standard AMG GT Roadster will be capable of delivering 469 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque; whereas the engine of the AMG GT C Roadster will deliver 550 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque.

The standard AMG GT Roadster will be able to accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour (mph) in 3.9 seconds; and the AMG GT C Roadster will be able to hit 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.7 seconds. Both the roadsters will be fitted with the new Panamericana grille which Mercedes first introduced on the GT R.
