Founded in 1967, AMG is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Because of its festivities, they are introducing three exclusive models to enhance the celebration, one of this models is the AMG GT C Roadster Edition 50, offering its customers with the same amenities that AMG has always been known for: their customer’s maximum individuality and exclusivity.
This ultimate machine can be recognized by its exceptional paint finish in designo Granite Grey Magno with black chrome accents delivering a unique look. The surface of the cross-spoke AMG forged wheels compliments the black chrome elements found on the exterior. A contrast between black and silver marks the interior of the AMG GT C Roadster. This color scheme is followed not only by upholstery in Silver Pearl/Black Exclusive Nappa Leather with Grey diamond-patterned contrasting topstitching, but also by the black AMG Performance steering wheel in DINAMICA microfiber with Grey contrasting topstitching, noon mark in Silver Pearl, and “Edition 50” badging.
To emphasize sporty character, the Edition comes as standard with the AMG Interior Night Package, which includes steering wheel spokes, shift paddles, and door sill panels finished in black. The interplay between light and dark is further accentuated by silver seat belts and black chrome trim throughout. The head restraint of the AMG Performance seat is embossed with “GT Edition 50.”
