Mercedes-AMG has officially extended its sports car portfolio with the new 2019 AMG GT S Roadster and it’s going to be one of the hottest convertibles available today.

The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo in the new AMG GT S Roadster delivers an output of 522 hp and maximum torque of 494 ft-lbs. This is available over a wide engine speed range from 1900 to 5000 rpm. A sprint from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) can be achieved in just 3.8 seconds and will reach top speed of 191 mph (308 km/h).

Interestingly, the two turbochargers of the V8 are not positioned on the outside of the cylinder banks, but inside the cylinder “V.” Advantages of that include a compact engine design, spontaneous response of the turbochargers and low exhaust emissions thanks to optimal airflow to the near-engine catalysts.

“With the AMG GT S Roadster, our AMG GT family has gained another exceptionally sporty member that combines high driving dynamics with an emotional open-air experience,” says Tobias Moers, Chairman of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. “The new model represents the perfect alternative for the performance-oriented AMG GT Roadster customer.”
