Personally test driven by AMG boss Tobias Moers, on a lonesome desert highway through the arid land around Las Vegas, the 2018 Mercedes AMG GT C prototype swiftly performs at its peak capacity while Moers monitors how well the car handles and operates to confirm readiness before production begins. The test driving site is a perfect place to assess the car’s performance as the harsh terrain proves to be a quite the challenge with a terrible inconstancy in the road and hard to maneuver turns. Furthermore, the car is very responsive, which is not all that shocking when you take into account that the coupe was first designed with thought of roadster functionality.
The Mercedes AMG GT C Roadster is a vigorously adapted by-product of the GT Roadster, and it also adopts key components from the highest-quality of the GT layout, the superlative GT R coupe. Even though the GT C is not as powerful as the GT R, it can extract an abundant 550 hp and 502 ft lbs of torque from it’s twin-turbocharged 4-liter V-8 engine, allowing for an acceleration from zero to 60 in just 3.7 seconds, which leads up to a maximum velocity of 196 mph. In addition, the GT C Roadster has been given a rather slender stance along with a capacious track, providing the car with a stooped-down appearance that lets the car look exactly as velocious as it truly is.
The GT Roadster is known to be at a disadvantage to hardware shared with the GT R, such as an electronic rear differential that proficiently converts power to the road, rear-wheel steering, and active air-control management that utilizes louvers in the front grille to improve engine cooling & aerodynamics. Nonetheless, the GT Roadster lineup has always kept that certain kind of uniqueness and style, which have caused the evolution & development of the GT Roadster to grow by leaps and bounds.
Further testing will continue with Mercedes-AMG engineers as Moers works rigorously on the finishing touches so that the Mercedes AMG GT C Roadster is in perfect condition for the upcoming showrooms in Fall 2017.
