Mercedes-Benz reveals AMG GT S Roadster with a top speed of 308 kmph

**Mercedes-AMG** has been constantly expanding the GT range ever since it debuted a couple of years back. The latest addition comes in the form of the GT S Roadster which joins the beautiful GT’s convertible line up.

In the GT S Roadster, the V8 puts out 522 PS of power and 670 Nm of torque — which slots it between the Standard GT’s 476 PS and the GT C’s 557 PS tunes. To put things into perspective further, the GT S manages a 0-100 kmph sprint in 3.8s and a top speed of 308 kmph, versus the GT C’s 3.7 0-100 kmph time and a top whack of 316 kmph. On the other hand, the standard GT Roadster sold to us accelerates from 0-100 kmph in 4.0s and has a top speed of 302 kmph.

Choosing the AMG Dynamic Plus package throws in active engine and transmission mounts, sportier garnish inside the cabin and a wider power band in the Manual or Race modes.

Plenty of chrome garnish on the cabin trim and on the exterior (grille, fins and diffuser) helps differentiate the GT S Roadster from the rest of the lineup. These chrome bits can be swapped with gloss black and/or carbon fibre as an optional extra.
