Somehow it was to be expected that Mercedes-AMG would provide an open version of their sportiest and most powerful variant of the GT series, the GT R, which is offered on the market for two years now. At the Geneva Motor Show it was time to celebrate the world premiere of the Mercedes-AMG GT R Roadster at the Palexpo at Lac Leman. And the engineers from Affalterbach seem to have risked a side glance to Maranello, because at Ferrari it is already a tradition to distribute the open versions of their sporting offshoots such as the 430 Scuderia or 458 Speciale in limited quantities among the customers and to make them sought-after collectibles. Because the new GT R Roadster will also be only available in limited quantities with only 750 units worldwide.

The GT R Roadster combines the sporty and aggressive appearance of the GT R Coup\u00e9 with the open charm of a convertible. It takes over the front end with the low-down bumper design, the clearly prominent splitter and the larger air intakes of the most powerful variant. In addition, it also gets the distinctive side skirts, which merge into the rear fenders and the striking rear wing, which is responsible for improving the downforce at higher speeds next to a sporty look in the first place. Other design elements of the GT R at the rear are the double diffuser and the 5.7 cm wider rear fenders, creating space for a larger wheel-tire combination. By contrast, the typical Roadster is the flatter, stretched silhouette already familiar from the GT, GT S and GT C Roadster.<\/p>\n\n\n
