New Mercedes-AMG GT C Coupe gallery
Images of the new 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT C Coupe, and facelifted GT S
Sitting between the GT S and R, the Mercedes-AMG GT C produces 549bhp
It comes with a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine, which produces a suitably sonorous exhaust note
0-62mph takes just 3.7 seconds and the GT C’s top speed is 196mph
Early GT C customers will be treated to exclusive ‘Edition 50’ trim, which celebrates AMG’s 50th birthday
Edition 50 trim includes lashings of dark chrome trim & the choice of two paints: ‘white magno’ and ‘graphite grey'
Inside, Edition 50 AMG GT Cs come with soft Napa leather seats and stitched ‘Edition’ logos
The Roadster convertible is already offered in GT C format, but it’s the Coupe’s turn now
An electronic limited-slip differential should help maintain grip when cornering
The GT C also has a wider rear axle than the standard GT, which also increases grip
The rest of the Mercedes-AMG GT range gets an overhaul, with active aerodynamics one new standard feature
The front air vents stay closed at low speed for extra slipperiness, opening up when the engine needs extra cooling
An new ‘Panamericana’ radiator grille also adorns the updated Mercedes-AMG GT, complete with vertical chrome strips
The standard AMG GT gets and extra 14bhp, bringing its output up to 469bhp
The GT S also benefits from 12bhp more, and now produces 515bhp
No official word on pricing yet, but it’s likely the Mercedes-AMG GT C will start at around £125,000
Though the Edition 50 model is likely to be more expensive…
