Mercs AMG GT C Roadster Reviews

Hello friends,

Today 'Gear Shift' have come with complete review of all new Mercedes New edition AMG GT C Roadster 2017.Lets see what is there inside the hood and whether you buy this sports car or not........

Now Lets See What Is There Inside The Hood......

In brief, the Roadster is that the new drop-top version of the Mercedes-AMG GT that was obtainable solely in coupé type to date. It uses a material roof that may be raised/lowered in mere 11sec at accelerates to 50kph. The Roadster conjointly happens to be our introduction to the updated GT vary. There area unit many style changes common to all or any GTs, additional power from the 4.0 -litre engine and even additional versions on supply.

The revised GT family is identifiable by the new ‘Panamericana’ grille whose vertical bars function a visible link to Mercedes’ Carrera Panamericana race cars of the fifties. Once there's no would like for added cooling, the louvres keep shut to cut back drag.

As for the 4.0 -litre bi-turbo V8, it’s been worked on for additional power. On the quality GT, it currently makes 469hp and 630Nm (up 13hp and 30Nm), whereas on the GT S it's been uprated to 515hp and 671Nm (up 12hp and 30Newton metres).

What’s it wish to drive?

First, slightly concerning the roof. The three-layer cloth roof absorbs noise quite well. It’s ne'er completely quietwithin the cabin however you won’t got to raise your voice to converse together with your co-passenger a minimum of at average city speeds. Lowering the roof, though, will increase noise levels over expected. there's a wind device on the rear sill however there’s still many bump within the cabin even at cruising pace. depress on the throttle with zestfulness, though, and it’s the engine that you’ll hear loud and clear. The note from the V8 is low-pitched with pops and crackles on the overrun.

And after all, this can be a quick automobile. The GT C is fiercely fast to make speed and launch you onto the incorrect facet of the regulation while not even attempting too onerous. Its twin turbos appeared armed and prepared in the slightest degree times; there’s no lag and delivery is systematically sturdy for the duration of the rev vary. you only don’t expertise that typical turbo automobile pause between commands at the throttle being dead at the rear wheels. Sure, this can be the additional powerful GT C however I don’t suppose the India-bound GT would be abundant slower. Mercedes-AMG claims a 0-100kph time of 3.7sec for the GT C Roadster and four.0sec for the GT Roadster. Do note the GT Roadsters, with edge weights on top of 1.6 tonnes, aren't any lightweights. automobile to Roadster, the GT has gained 50kg due to the material roof and extra bracing to catch up on the loss of rigidity on account of the roof. The GT Roadster's metallic element body is stiffened with thicker sill components, a further dashboard support and a replacement metallic element cross-member integrated into the rear partition that supports mounted roll-over bars.

On the sleek roads around Phoenix, Arizona within the USA, we have a tendency to didn’t expertise any of that scuttle shake that's characteristic of convertibles. What the GT are like on the pockmarked roads outside Phoenix Mills, Mumbai is what we’ll have to see in the future. In general, the ride did feel a bit firm, though the GT C’s standard adjustable dampers did help take a bit of the edge away.

As mentioned, the GT C comes with rear-wheel steering. At speeds up to 100kph, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels for added agility and at speeds above 100kph, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the ones in front for enhanced stability. And the system does its work really well. On twisty canyon roads, the GT C felt smaller and tighter than we remember the GT S Coupe. There’s no getting around the sheer width of the GT but the rear-wheel steer helps place the car through corners with more clarity. There’s also tremendous grip out of the corners with the electronically controlled limited-slip differential feeding just the right amount of power to the wheels. The GT C’s steering is quick too and seemed more nuanced than the GT S Coupe’s rack that was a bit too sharp just off-centre.

Should You buy This Car Or Not........

What’s clear is the AMG GT Roadsters are more than just boulevard cruisers. Fast, seductive and really engaging to drive, the AMG GT Roadster is an incredibly desirable package, even in the small club of all-out roadsters. But expect to pay big bucks for Merc’s powerhouse. The AMG GT Roadster goes on sale in India this November and will cost in the region of Rs 2.5 crore (estimated, ex-showroom).
