2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Base Convertible

Perfect Auto Collection Signature Listing 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster VIN WDDYK7HAXJA014248 | 16,525 miles The hood is longer than most cars are wide, and the gearbox sits behind you. AMG drew every line of it themselves. Why We Acquired This Vehicle The AMG GT is only the second car Affalterbach has designed entirely on its own, after the SLS. Everything else AMG builds starts as a Mercedes and gets reworked; this began as a blank sheet, with an aluminum spaceframe, the V8 set back behind the front axle, and the seven-speed gearbox mounted at the rear as a transaxle to balance the car front to rear. The Roadster takes that architecture and removes the roof. Its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 produces 469 horsepower and 465 lb-ft through the rear wheels alone, reaching 60 mph in under four seconds - and with a fabric top rather than a folding hardtop, it does so without the weight high in the body that a metal roof would add. This example arrived with its factory build sheet, recording a total of $139,650 against a $124,400 base. It is finished in designo Diamond White over black and Red Pepper Nappa, with the AMG Performance Exhaust, forged cross-spoke wheels in black, and an indoor car cover that came with the car when new. At 16,525 miles it has been used sparingly. The verified appointments are detailed in full below.

We ask a quieter question: how does it present, and would we be proud to place it in our own collection? This one is easy. The AMG GT has the best proportions of any modern Mercedes - an enormous hood, a cabin pushed far back over the rear axle, and a shape that owes nothing to any other car in the range because it shares nothing with one. In white with a black roof and black forged wheels, the proportions are fully visible rather than hidden. That it also came with its factory car cover, and has covered only sixteen thousand miles, tells you how the first owner treated it. Why Enthusiasts Value This Model What separates the AMG GT from everything else AMG sells is that it is not a modified Mercedes. Affalterbach designed the car itself, on an aluminum spaceframe, with the engine mounted behind the front axle and the gearbox at the rear - a layout chosen for weight distribution and used by very few manufacturers because of what it costs to engineer. The Roadster adds the part a coupe cannot. With a fabric roof rather than a folding metal one, the weight stays low and the car keeps its balance, and with the top stowed the hand-built V8 sits a few feet ahead of an open cabin. The generation that replaced this one moved to all-wheel drive and added rear seats, which makes a two-seat rear-drive AMG GT Roadster a configuration the company no longer offers. What buyers
