The new Mercedes GT range is well worth more than a fleeting glance. It features a 4.0-litre biturbo V8 engine; in the GT Roadster this generates 476 hp, while the GT C Roadster adds an additional 81 hp. The GT Roadster can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 4.0 seconds, while in the GT C Roadster it takes just 3.7 seconds. Both roadsters come with a three-layer fabric roof available in one of three colours (black, beige or dark red) at no extra cost. The roof opens or closes electrically in around 11 seconds, and can be operated at speeds of up to 31 mph. At the top of the GT range, the AMG GT R Coupé generates 585 hp and can travel from 0 to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds. It comes with a whole host of features as standard including AMG sports bucket seats; carbon fibre roof; AMG Panamericana grille; AMG GT R bodystyling and yellow brake calipers.
