Is the Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster a Roof Down Dream?

Take the Mercedes-AMG GT R and chop the roof off and you have this, the AMG GT C Roadster - quite literally a breath of fresh air and a dream car to be driving in such amazing scenery.

With 557PS from the 4.0l Biturbo V8, the Roadster now comes with a folding tri-layer soft-top that opens in just 11 seconds while on the move at the push of a button. From there you have the AMG Performance exhaust as standard and a glorious noise to enjoy while cruising along.

Thanks for watching, Tim

I think that paint colour is a £10, 000+ option!
From the rear 3/4 view it reminds me of the BMW Z8!
 Great video Shmee

When he said "uh that crack" around 9.10 it reminded me of what I say when I walk into a nightclub in Vegas. Lol

I think you are one of the best youtuber! You provide about car detail from nut to bolt
Very informative! Keep up the good work

Mercedes have really got the styling right with this car, beautiful proportions and detailing. Gorgeous colour as well.

Am I the only one who is growing concerned over the future of car videos on YouTube? Years ago, we had DRIVE and EVO uploading quality content and there was a real community that was born form that. However, influencers have managed to take over the content vertical by satisfying viewer demand with their own videos that really have this “tone deafness” that autojournalistic videos don’t. Do not get me wrong, I love videos of La Ferrraris and 675 LTs but I much preferred them when it was about the cars \ and less about the “I BOUGHT A 675 LT”. I’m always left with this feeling that said influencer is trying to pass himself for someone they really are not. Please do not confuse this remark for hate. It’s just an honest view of what I find wrong with car videos from this pool of content creators. While I enjoy these videos on a daily basis, there’s something just cringing about their intentions. I find myself asking “Who are you and what are you trying to accomplish with these videos by spending hundreds of thousands if not millions of pounds on these beautiful cars?” They are clearly trying to sell themselves as auto influencers by virtue of the fact that they can afford to own and drive these cars. While there is nothing inherently wrong with that, I far prefer the time when Harry Catchpole or Jethro Bovingdon were uploading authentic reviews and video features that captured the unadulterated essence and beauty of supercars.

Holy shit dude!!! I was in Sedona last weekend and totally saw you! That's awesome, had no clue you were there with this group of AMGs rolling around. Small world. Wish I had the honor of getting to meet you.

[hansmeyer]

This is near Sedona, Arizona for those wondering.

Electrically controlled wish i could have those fitted to my wife 😂😂

Such a great machine. I had the pleasure of taking one out for a drive through the mountains for about half an hour and compared to any other cars I've driven, Huracan, Porsche GT3, etc... the GTC Roadster is the type of car that you can enjoy comfortably and not get as mad when there is traffic. The transmission is lightning fast and the power pushes you back in the seat firmly. The rear wheel steering give you an almost forklift like turning feel when carving the mountains. It's the type of car you can have fun all day with in S+ mode and automatic shifting, letting the car do all the work and you just work the throttle and breaks (might sound boring but it's not). The fast transmission doesn't give you a feeling of lag or clunky operation. It's almost seamless but still has enough character to make you appreciate and be thrilled by everything it's doing. If you ever get the chance to get behind the wheel of one do it! Just wanted to share my experience with the car if it can add any additional insight to anyone curious. Great review Shmee150, cheers!

Next time, you gotta take highway 89A from Sedona toward Flagstaff along oak creek canyon. An excellent driver's road and amazing scenery. Welcome to Arizona!

[JoeAchilles]

Amazing car and video buddy, looking forward to you getting back to the UK and taking the GT8 out 😊

[JakeTheSnakeProductions]

That car in that spec and color fits the environment so well :)

[kanwarsidhu]

I never thought it would be so beautiful.. well damn

[fredlacerda]

Omg This car is beautiful with top down

[chandlerclark]

perfect editing, not overdone, just right

[bsmukler]

That is an incredibly beautiful car, and the color looks great under that soft, diffused lighting. Mercedes would do well to borrow some screen shots from your video; it is almost like a painting, with that sky as a backdrop.

Shmee the type of guy to safely remove the USB.

[davidbest]

It looks so good in yellow. I would have one of these over a 911 c2s convertible. The back of the GTC is so good

[RIANTIC]

I'm just happy they're keeping the key elements of the original gt models.
