MERCEDES AMG GT Roadster
AMG GT Roadster in a few words
For the first time Mercedes has a proper rival to Porsche’s 911. Now is more fun in an AMG GT Roadster. It’s a Formula One car for the road, its engine a straight lift from the racers that have claimed victory past seasons. No one has ever built a car like this. Breathtaking performance needs attention to be exploites by a regular driver, even if he is good. Lauched summer 2017 it replaced the first car developed solely by AMG, the SLS, gullwing homage. It take only 11 secs to put the roof down, handy being able at 50km/h.
Car4rent Cannes offers the open-top model both for rent and for a test drive.
Sounds fun
The twin-turbocharged V8 4.0 liter of the AMG GT Roadster develops 476hp. The open-top version and can hit 0 to 100km/h in 4.0 sec from a standing start The engine has a distinctive fruity gurgle at idle, then farts and blatts like a night out on the town when you urge it into action. You can better appreciate with the roof down. There’s plenty to enjoy in the way it drives, too. The car never feels nervous but points sweetly through corners. The brakes can be applied with millimetre precision. What a astonishing car!
