MERCEDES AMG Car Additional Details

Just from its name, the Mercedes-AMG GT C doesn’t sound like it’s close to the top of the AMG GT range. The letter C isn’t often associated with the higher echelons of performance cars, but in the GT’s hierarchy the C sits just below the savage GT R, but above the basic GT and the S. The C, along with the GT, are the only two versions available as drop-tops. We’ve already tested the GT C Roadster – which we were very impressed with – but this is our first opportunity to drive the Coupe. The GT C will initially only be available as an Edition 50 model to commemorate AMG’s 50th anniversary. This special model is limited to just 500 units and comes with matt paint and dark chrome trim. Technical highlights? To elevate the C above the basic AMG GT and GT S it borrows the wide rear track and swollen bodywork from the track-ready GT R. That extra width – 57mm to be exact – is made up solely by wider wheels, the rear suspension components are the same dimensions throughout the GT range. However the GT C’s back-end isn’t lacking any tricks, it has a rear-wheel steering system to improve the car’s agility at low speeds and increase stability at high speeds.
