Mercedes AMG GT C coupe

Mercedes announced a coupe variant of its GT C sports car at the Detroit Motor Show, as the German carmaker celebrates its 50-year partnership with the AMG tuning firm. 

The new model sits between the GT S and the Nurburgring-developed GT R. Flared wheel arches and a lower ride height set it apart from the entry-models, as does the exclusive matt black paint and large air intakes.  

Under the bonnet, the GT C coupe retains the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine from the roadster model, which produces 459bhp and can achieve a zero to 62mph time of 3.7secs. It also adopts the GT R's rear-wheel steering system and features active aerodynamics that channel air underneath the car to the rear diffuser. 

Mercedes is expected to announce prices for the GT C later this year, but prices for the current roadster start at £133,455, so customers can expect the coupe to be a little cheaper.  Chek more at www.oktilli.com
