2019 AMG GT R Roadster Will Be Limited to 750 Units Worldwide
Lightweight, Layered Soft Top
The three-layered fabric soft top is supported by a lightweight magnesium, steel, and aluminum structure, which helps to keep the vehicle’s center of gravity low. The inserted acoustic mat reduces noise.
There is an exclusive new color available for the AMG GT R Roadster – the fine designo graphite grey magno matte finish.
Anyone wishing to emphasize the close connection to motorsport can choose the optional AMG Carbon-Fiber Packages. With the AMG Carbon- Fiber Package I, the front splitter, the fins in the fenders, the inserts in the side skirts as well as the rear diffuser are in a high-quality carbon-fiber look. The AMG Carbon-Fiber Package II with the rear airfoil blade, the rear airfoil end plates and the outside mirror housings in carbon fiber completes the sporty appearance.
Tailor-made for Performance
The interior design echoes the exterior. The dashboard places a firm emphasis on width, creating an impression of a powerful wing. The driver is integrated into the cockpit thanks to the high beltlines, the door trims with their concave design, the dynamically rising center console and the low seat position. The cockpit has the feel of a custom-fit suit and made-to-measure shoes. In the center console a badge with the inscription, “1 of 750” points to the roadster’s limited number of units.
AMG Performance seats
The standard-specification AMG Performance seats in Exclusive Nappa Leather with Diamond Stitching offer strong lateral support with their more deeply contoured side bolsters. The neck-level heating AIRSCARF is standard, making open-air driving a pleasure even in low outside temperatures. The air outlet is seamlessly integrated in the head restraint, where the temperature of the outflowing air can be adjusted in three stages.
Customers wishing to enjoy comfortable temperatures even on very hot summer days can turn on the seat climate control, which is standard. The intensity can be set in three stages.
Other materials and colors are also optionally available:
- Saddle Brown/Black Exclusive Nappa Leather with Diamond Stitching
- Macchiato Beige/Black Exclusive Nappa Leather with Diamond Stitching
- Silver Pearl/Black Exclusive Nappa Leather with Diamond Stitching
As standard, the AMG GT R Roadster comes with AMG black carbon fiber/piano lacquer trim elements, including the Exclusive Trim Package. This features the center console insert and the center air vent rings in black piano lacquer. The insert in the center console, the trim around the four air vents in the instrument panel and the trim strips in the armrests in the doors are in high-quality high- gloss carbon fiber. The trim elements are also available in black matte carbon fiber.
AMG-specific Displays
The AMG GT R Roadster receives fully-digital instrument displays with an instrument cluster measuring 12.3 inches in front of the driver and a 10.25- inch multimedia monitor on the center console. The instrument cluster offers a screen design with the three AMG-specific display styles “Classic,” “Sporty” or “Supersport.” In the “Supersport” mode, there is also extensive additional information, such as a prompt to shift up in manual transmission mode. The newly designed visualizations in the multimedia display enable further vehicle functions to be experienced more directly, for example, through an animated presentation of the driving assistance, vehicle and communication systems.
Just the Touch of a Finger
The innovative, colored display buttons in the V-shaped center console integrate the display and control of transmission logic, suspension, ESP, exhaust system, aerodynamics profile and start/stop function. Using TFT technology the display buttons use intuitively comprehensible symbols to show the function, and are easy to operate with simply a small finger tap. The display buttons are supplemented by two rocker switches for the drive programs and volume control of the audio system.
AMG Performance Steering Wheel
The AMG GT R Roadster has also been given the new AMG Performance steering wheel as standard. It is characterized by its sporty design, a flattened bottom section with a heavily contoured rim and intuitive operation. The steering-wheel rim is completely covered in DINAMICA microfiber. The galvanized steering wheel gearshift paddles allow an even sportier driving style with manual gear shifting. The integrated Touch Control buttons can be used to control the functions of the digital dash and the multimedia display by horizontal and vertical swipes of the finger.
TRACTION CONTROL can be actuated via the right-hand controller. The selected setting is shown on the color LCD display directly integrated in the AMG GT R Roadster’s controller.
The two freely configurable display buttons and the additional switches on the left-hand side enable further AMG functions to be controlled directly on the steering wheel. This means that the driver can concentrate fully on driving without having to take their hands off the wheel. Each required function can be depicted on the display icon and its switch tapped by the driver to set the respective function. So, the two individually preferred AMG functions can be defined exactly and the settings changed with just a tap of the finger.
The AMG Interior Night Package also comes standard. In this package, the shift paddles, steering wheel spokes, and seat insert are finished in high-gloss black, which combines with the standard-specification AMG carbon fiber/piano lacquer trim elements to further emphasize the sportiness.
