Mercedes-AMGGT C Roadster (R190) 2016 - 2018

　　In 2016, Mercedes-AMG improved its roadster lineup with a version that sat between the base GT and the top performer GT R.

　　When Mercedes-Benz decided to transform the AMG into a separate brand, it allowed it to make different models, which didn't have any shape in common with other Mercedes vehicles. The first model introduced under the new brand was the SLS AMG in 2010, while the GT made its appearance in 2014 at the Paris Motor Show. The carmaker improved it and, in 2016, it came with the GT C and GT C Roadster.

　　Mercedes-AMG unveiled both vehicles in October at the Paris Motor Show. The roadster sported a Panamericana grille with vertical slats and an oversized front bumper that sported an A-shaped lower grille and a pair of side-pods. The carmaker installed a set of vents that extracted the air from the front wheel-wells on the front fenders. Its retractable roof was power-operated, and the driver could open or close the car at speed up to 50 kph (35 mph).

　　Inside, Mercedes-AMG was a mix of luxury and sport-inspired elements. Its sport-bucket seats with high bolstering. Their integrated headrests featured AirScarf function that blew warm air into the occupant's necks. The satin aluminum trims covered the top of the center console. There were eight buttons for various vehicle settings, including the start/stop button, which was marked with red letterings.

　　Under the hood, AMG installed the new 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine paired to a seven-speed automatic (dual-clutch) gearbox. The adaptive suspension featured various settings to improve the car's cornering speed or provide a comfortable ride.
