The 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster gives you both fun and sun
Slotting between Mercedes-AMG's coupe variants, the GT Roadsters bring plenty of power and poise, but they left the tops at home.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.
Did you really not expect the Mercedes-AMG GT to become a roadster?
The Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster will be available in two flavors -- the GT Roadster and the GT C Roadster.
The GT Roadster packs a 469-horsepower, 4.0-liter V8 and will hit 60 mph in 3.9 seconds.
The GT C Roadster bumps those figures up to 550 horsepower and 0-to-60 in 3.7 seconds.
Its fabric soft top can be had in three colors -- black, red and beige -- and can open or close at speeds up to 31 mph.
Top speed on the GT C Roadster is a ridiculous 196 mph.
The GT C Roadster rocks a number of pieces that the GT Roadster lacks, like an adjustable exhaust, rear axle steering, adjustable dampers and an electronically controlled differential.
The car can be had in 11 exterior and 10 interior colors, although not all at once, duh.
The AMG GT and GT C Roadsters debut at Paris this month, and go on sale in late 2017.
Pricing is yet to be determined.
