The new Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster has gone on sale in the Middle East.

Unveiled late last year, the convertible is said to combine the joys of open-top driving with ultimate performance. 

With an output of 410 kW (557 hp) and peak torque of 680 Nm, the AMG GT C Roadster is the most powerful new Roadster. In combination with the AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension, the car guarantees dynamic performance at the highest level. 

The car sprins from zero to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 316 km/h. 

The AMG GT C Roadster rapidly transforms from a coupé to an open-top sports car, with speed, precision and ultimate style. The convertible fabric roof opens and closes in around 11 seconds, and can do this at speeds of up to 50 km/h. Like the AMG GT R, the AMG GT C Roadster is recognisable by its wide, muscular rear end and large wheels.

The interior design echoes the design lines of the exterior. The dashboard places an extreme emphasis on width, creating the impression of a powerful wing. 

High beltlines, concave door panels, a dynamically rising centre console and low seat position, perfectly integrate the driver into the cockpit. The new, light-coloured interior in Macchiato Beige Exclusive Nappa leather is available for the first time, lending the open-top sports car even more individuality and exclusivity.

The Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster is available in the region at a starting price of $172,650.
