The new AMG GT C Roadster marks the fiftieth driving performance anniversary of the Mercedes-AMG – an ideal occasion on which to add the new AMG GT C Roadster Edition 50 as a further exclusive choice in the offering from the AMG GT family.
Mercedes-AMG is offering the C 63 Cabriolet and C 63 S Cabriolet Ocean Blue Edition plus C 43 4MATIC Coupe and C 43 4MATIC Cabriolet Night Edition special models to provide more variety for customers seeking that special something. All Editions combine extended ranges of equipment with special design features, thus making their own individual mark.
The sports car reasserts the standard it has set itself to offer customers maximum individuality and exclusivity. The new AMG GT C Roadster is, like the new AMG GT C, also available as an exclusively equipped Edition 50 special model in a limited quantity of 500 cars worldwide. It marks the landmark year of the company, which was founded in 1967 and celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2017.
At first glance the Edition 50 can be recognized by the two special paint finishes in designo graphite grey magno or designo cashmere white magno. Black chrome accents deliver a unique look. They are applied to the side skirt trim, the front splitter, the trim strips in the air intakes of the Panamericana grille, the fins on the side air outlets in the front wings, the trim on the rear diffuser and the exhaust tailpipe trim elements. The surface of the cross-spoke AMG forged wheels has been harmonized with the black chrome elements of the exterior.
The interior is marked by a contrast between black and silver. This color scheme is followed not only by the trim in STYLE Exclusive nappa leather in silver pearl/black with grey diamond-patterned contrasting topstitching, but also by the black AMG Performance steering wheel in DINAMICA microfiber with grey contrasting topstitching, 12 o’clock mark in silver pearl, Edition 50 lettering plus a note on the limitation.
To emphasize the sporty character, the Edition comes as standard with the AMG Interior Night package, which includes steering wheel spokes, shift paddles and door sill panels in black. The interplay between light and dark is further accentuated by silver seat belts and black chrome trim. The head restraint of the AMG Performance seat is embossed with GT Edition 50.
The Ocean Blue Edition for the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Cabriolet and C 63 S Cabriolet is designed for a particularly design-oriented and fashion-conscious target group and limited to 150 units worldwide. The new color deep ocean blue for the fabric acoustic soft top is exclusively earmarked for this new Edition. The exclusive color shade is featured on numerous further details on the car, such as the trim strips on the front and rear apron, the surrounds on the hub caps, the contrasting topstitching in the crystal grey interior plus the analogue clock in an IWC design.
The paint finishes designo cashmere white magno and designo selenite grey magno are available for the exterior. The front apron in an A‑wing design, the exterior mirror housings, the side sill panels plus the spoiler lip are painted in the vehicle color, underlining the elegant character of the Edition. The AMG forged wheels in a cross-spoke design in size 19 inches at the front/20 inches at the rear are painted in titanium grey.
In the interior, the light, crystal grey interior in nappa leather with lavish diamond quilting and deep-ocean blue contrasting top-stitching immediately catches the eye. It is combined with trim in matt silver glass fiber (high-gloss carbon fiber as a no-cost option) with the Edition badge in the center console. The fine impression is reinforced by the steering wheel with its black rim, featuring a flattened bottom section, in nappa leather and silver-colored buttons: it comes from the Mercedes-AMG S 63 4MATIC Cabriolet.
As standard the seats are fitted with the AIRSCARF neck-level heating and acclimatized seats, ensuring optimum comfort in all weather conditions. Attention to detail is evident in the AMG badges in the backrests of the front seats and the embossed AMG emblems in the front head restraints.
On the Night Edition for the Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC Coupe and Cabriolet black details add fine flourishes. So for the first time the cabriolet too is available with black exterior details. The diamond radiator grille sports black dots. The trim strips on the front splitter, on the rear apron and the side skirts are also painted in black. The same applies to the spoiler lip on the boot lid and the tailpipe trim elements on the exhaust system.
The overall impression is influenced by the 19-inch multi-spoke light-alloy wheels, which are painted in matt black for the first time and feature high-sheen rim flanges as a contrast. The Edition theme continues in the interior. The rim of the Performance steering wheel, in nappa leather/DINAMICA microfiber, with its flattened bottom section is also in black, and a badge on the center console flags up the Night Edition.
All Editions will be available for order from early March 2017. Mercedes-AMG C 63 Cabriolet and C 63 S Cabriolet Ocean Blue Edition, Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC Coupe and Cabriolet Night Edition will be delivered from June 2017 while the first units of the Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster Edition 50 will be with customers from July 2017.
