New Mercedes-AMG roadsers are here! Check them out! It is worth it!
And there is one more Mercedes-AMG vehicle in the lines of the AMG GT lineup. Not that long after the unveiling of the AMG GT R, the premium automobile tuner presents two roadster variants of the two-seater. These are indeed AMG GT Roadster and AMG GT C Roadster. So, let's see what the offerings are this time!
These are by far the most powerful that AMG team has managed to create. They both comes with massive horsepower and torque output and offer exclusively fine-tuned drivetrain systmes. These fine-tunes are indeed done onto the active rear axle steering fine-tuning while a special AMG RIDE CONTROL sporty suspension contributes to the nature of a roadster vehicle.
Also notable are the exterior design changes: both vehicles come with massive and muscular proportions that include wide rear wings, wider wheels at the rear axle, and all this blended with Mercedes-Benz well-known styling and these sweet AMG additions.
These two roadster enrich the Mercedes-AMG GT family members to a total of five. Offering technical quality and genetics of both Mercedes-Benz and AMG, the new additions are definitely worth the mentioning.
