T H E PA R I S A U T O S H O W MERCEDES-AMG GT Roadster & GLC 43 Mercedes unveiled the Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster. The open-top two-seater will be available in two versions from market launch in February 2017. In the AMG GT Roadster base model, the AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo produces 350 kW (476 hp). The even more dynamic and visually distinct Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster combines its peak output of 410 kW (557 hp) with highly exclusive equipment and appointments. Paris also marked the premiere of the new Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC Coupé. The 270 kW (367 hp) 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine, the 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission with shortened shift times and the rear-biased AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive form the basis for an exceptionally agile on-road driving experience.
