2019 AMG GT Roadster Exterior
There's no denying the fact that the GT C Roadster is a gorgeous car. The Roadster manages to look as pretty as the Coupe with the roof up but dazzles when it lets its hair down. The full rear end is wide at the hips to accommodate broad 305/30 high-performance tires on 20-inch alloy wheels, while up front, narrower 265/35 rubber surrounds the 19-inch alloys. The active aero system is borrowed from the GT R and flared sills add to the aggressive appeal of this super roadster. Mercedes-AMG spent some time focusing on the smaller exterior details, and it shows: LED headlights look striking and include daytime running lights and the trapezoid AMG performance exhaust pipes finish off the stubby back-end with a touch of gusto. The AMG specific forged wheels are finished off in a Titanium Gray as standard with a high sheen finish and wouldn't seem out of place on a Le Mans spec race car, while up front, the Panamericana grille design looks aggressive. Differentiating the GT C Roadster from its coupe sibling is a power-retractable soft-top roof.

Dimensions
The GT C Roadster is broader than its GT counterpart thanks to a widened set of tires and flared wheel arches, but shares the same length, height, and wheelbase measurements. Total length comes in at 179 inches, and its highest point sits 49.6 inches off the ground with the roof closed. The maximum body width of the GT C is 79.02 inches, which is 2.66 inches wider than the standard GT Roadster. The car rolls on a 103.5-inch wheelbase, which seems limousine-like when compared to the Porsche 911 Cabriolet's stout 96.5 inches. The GT weighs in at 3,660 lbs, making it 144 lbs heavier than the base GT Roadster and in excess of 300 lbs more than a 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet.

Exterior Colors
Mercedes-AMG gives new owners a massive range of exterior color and trim options, which means you'll have no issue finding the perfect look. The GT C Roadster is available in Black at no additional cost, but any of the other ten options ask a premium. Additional cost options include Magnetite Black Metallic, Iridium Silver Metallic, Brilliant Blue Metallic, and Selenite Grey at $720 each. The palette of special colors offers striking options are certainly worth the added cost: Designo Cardinal Red Metallic is priced at $1,080, Designo Diamond White is the easiest on the eye but heavier on the wallet at $1,515, while the most expensive choices are Designo Iridium Silver Magno and Designo Selenite Grey, both of which available at a $3,950 premium. New owners will be able to choose from three soft-top colors: Black, Beige, and Red.
Our tester was finished in a special color called Solarbeam Yellow Metallic, which was strangely excluded from the options list when we viewed them on the Mercedes website. In our opinion, this shade helps the AMG GT stand out from the crown and is the best option available, especially when matched with a yellow-stitched interior.
