Mercedes-AMG have not only facelifted the GT family,
but also expanded it by introducing the all-new GT C Coupe along with a special
version of the latter named 'Edition 50'
in Motor City. Building upon the GT C Roadster that was unveiled last
year and slotting between the GT S and GT R, the German sports car will launch
later this year in a special Edition 50 flavor, designed to celebrate
Mercedes-AMG's 50th anniversary.
While keeping the same 550 hp and 681
Nm of torque, 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the regular GT C Coupe that allows
for a 0 to 96 km/h in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 317
km/h, the Edition 50 gets a series of bespoke features.
Elements that are specific to the Edition 50 model,
which comes in both Coupe and Roadster models, include the designo Graphite
Grey Magno special paint finish, black chrome exterior highlights, trim strips
in the grille's air inlets, and molding on the rear diffuser and tailpipes. The
cross-spoke AMG forged rims come to contrast these updates, while the rear is
adorned by an 'Edition 50' badge.
Open the door and you will be greeted by a black and
silver contrasting interior with exclusive Nappa leather trim with grey
diamond-patterned contrast stitching and black AMG Performance steering wheel
in full Dinamica microfiber with grey stitching and 'Edition' lettering.
Additionally, Mercedes-AMG offers the AMG Interior
Night package as standard to emphasize the car's sporty character. This adds
black-finished door sill panels, steering wheel spokes and paddle shifters, and
complements the Exclusive Carbon Fiber Matte interior trim, AMG Black Piano
Lacquer accents, silver seatbelts, black chrome trim and 'GT Edition 50' logo
embossed in the headrests.
