Mercedes UK Prices New AMG GT Roadster & GT R

Want to put a new #Mercedes-AMG GT in your driveway? Now the German automaker has released pricing for the latest versions in the UK.

Fpr the Roadster and R versions, the latest to join the range, Mercedes-Benz UK is asking £110,145 and £143,245, respectively.

Those prices represent significant premiums over the base GT Coupe, which starts out at £98,195. In the case of the Roadster, of course, the main difference is the convertible roof mechanism. Otherwise it's essentially the same car, packing a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at 476 horsepower.

Not enough muscle? You can step up to 503 HP in the GT S coupe or 557 HP with the GT C Roadster. The GT R takes things even further with 585 hp, but only comes in coupe form.

To put those prices into context of the Benz's most direct competitor, consider that the base GT coupe (£98,195) and GT S coupe (£111,495) fit price-wise in between the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (£90,843) and 911 Turbo (£126,925).

The GT Roadster (£110,145) similarly bridges the gap between the Carrera 4S Cabriolet (£99,684) and Turbo Cabriolet (£135,766), while the GT C Roadster (£139,445) starts only a few grand above and the GT R coupe (£143,245) matches almost perfectly against the 911 Turbo S (£143,773).
