GT [Official] Mercedes-AMG GT

^ Yes, but E63 W213 will do 3.7s to 100kmh also RWD. Sports car that is only 0.1s faster than limousine...

 

[Sunny]

Well its a rear wheel drive only, so the 0-100 times cannot be compared to 911 Turbo, etc. I expect 100-200 times between 7-7.5s, that is the time to compare this car to its rivals.

Not that it matters least bit, but GT3 and RS are RWD and have lower 0-100 times (3.2?). Same with 570S/GT. I think the 3.7 figure is not accurate or a gross understatement.

 

[Laurent T]

Looking forward to this reveal... even though I doubt I will like the spoiler integration. I doubt it will fit well with the curves of this car.

 

[Mr Robert]

I think I'm going to like this car... I see a lot of the GT S and. I really like that car. From what we know I think they've perfected it.

2017 Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster makes spy photo debut

Tobias Moers, the big kahuna at Mercedes-AMG, has long said that the Mercedes-AMG GT will be a coupe-only story.

Its predecessor, the SLS AMG, was, of course, available as both as a coupe and a roadster, and being based on the same platform, it wouldn't have been unexpected for a Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster to make an appearance, right?

Well, prepare not to be surprised, then, because a roadster version of the Mercedes-AMG has just started testing, and the first pre-production prototype was already spied on a German Autobahn doing some high-speed runs.

Just like its older and more expensive brother, the GT Roadster will feature a soft-top while also completely transforming the way that its side profile looks.

Not entirely evident from the spy photo above, but the rear overhang will seem a bit longer thanks to the fact that the luggage compartment will cease to feature a hatch, but a regular trunk opening.

Engine wise, we should expect the same GT and GT S flavors as the coupe in the beginning, with the based model to offer 462 PS and 600 Nm (442,5 lb-ft) of torque, while the GT S will output 510 PS and 600 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque.

Because the increase in weight will be of only about 30 Kg (66 pounds), naught to 100 km/h (62 mph) times should be identical to the coupe, namely 3.8 seconds for the GT S and 4.0 seconds for the standard GT.

A couple of months ago, Tobias Moers let it slip that the upgraded 4.0-liter V8 in the upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT R might be borrowed to other models as well, which makes think that the GT R could also be getting a Roadster version, but nothing is confirmed.

Expect the Mercedes-AMG GT and GT S Roadster to debut at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show at the earliest and the 2017 Geneva Motor Show at the latest.

Helmet tip to Instagram car spotter my_spotter63 for taking the photo and to our reader Alexander for pointing us in the right direction.

Hmmm I'm not sure about the looks

 

[martinbo]

Does the AMG GT R deserve its own thread?

 

[klier]

Hmmm I'm not sure about the looks

I love it. Should have been the standard design!

 

[domleo999]

I think the grille looks so much better than the diamond grille

 

[Centurion]

This must be the most harmonious looking GT version of any car ever! What a smooth approach to bumper designs.

 

[Laurent T]

Not convinced... everything does not flow so well with the various curves of the base model. Any official spec ?

 

[Rolf]

This car looks so mean now! Wow! The only negative thing maybe I am not feeling so hot about is the wheels, they should have chosen a different design rather than use similar to GT S rims.

 

[LaArtist]

haha it looks so damn angry, that new grill is almost comical, but i like it.

 

[DjordjeC63]
