New GT Models from AMG Available to order now: Three New Members of the AMG GT Family go on Sale
Stuttgart/Affalterbach. Three new members of the AMG GT family are available to order now. The AMG GT* and GT C* Roadsters as well as the extremely sporty AMG GT R** will be launched on the market in spring 2017.
AMG is extending its in-house developed family of sports cars outwards and upwards with the addition of three new members. Boasting motor racing technology for the road and cutting-edge features, the AMG GT R is an elite athlete that delivers a breathtaking driving experience. The front-mid-engine concept with transaxle, the V8 biturbo engine rated at 430 kW (585 hp), the extensively modified suspension, the new aerodynamics and the intelligent lightweight construction lay the foundations for the exceptional driving dynamics.
The new Roadsters make hallmark AMG driving performance an even more intensive experience. In the entry-level model, the AMG GT Roadster, the AMG 4.0‑litre V8 biturbo unit produces an output of 350 kW (476 hp). Boasting an even more striking and dynamic appearance, the AMG GT C Roadster with its output of 410 kW (557 hp) and peak torque of 680 Nm is a brand new model variant that slots in between the AMG GT S and R.
