Some people play Badminton in their leisure time. Some play ping pong, and some play chess. The Mercedes-AMG GT S Roadster is for those who like to jet ski.<\/h2>\n

Bear with me on that analogy – with the GT S Roadster that Mercedes-AMG has just announced, you get all of the kicks of the AMG GT S coupe, but you get to enjoy them out in the fresh air.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Slotting in between the current lineup of the AMG GT Roadster (for those that enjoy lycra-ing up of a weekend and heading out on a road bicycle) and the AMG GT C Roadster (for full-on lunatics who enjoy bobsledding in their spare time), the GT S Roadster gets the same twin-turbo AMG 4-litre V8, though in this instance it\u2019s tuned to produce 515hp at 6250rpm and 494 lb-ft of torque between 1900 and 5000rpm.<\/p>\n

That means it\u2019s got the edge on the 469hp, 465 lb-ft GT Roadster, though isn\u2019t quite as ballistic as the 550hp, 502 lb-ft AMG GT C Roadster.
\n\"b
\nLike all the best AMG Mercs, the GT S should still be able to get slidey at will thanks to that power being sent straight to the back wheels via an electronically controlled limited-slip differential.<\/p>\n

The driver will get the full cacophonous AMG soundtrack as we\u2019ve come to expect, too, with the roof down-experience allowing the sound to carry direct from the performance exhaust system also offered on the AMG GT C to their ears – up to a certain point on the way to the car\u2019s 192mph top speed at least before the wind does its thing.<\/p>\n

0-60 is dispatched with in 3.7 seconds – which should be fast enough for those seeking thrills but not all-out speed. That time still brings it within a tenth of a second of the more speed-focused GT C Roadster, though.<\/p>\n

Stopping power isn\u2019t bad either, with that limited-slip diff combining with composite brakes – 15.2 inch fronts with six-piston calipers and 14.2 inch rears with single-piston calipers – that AMG say will provide exceptionally short stopping distances and an outstanding resistance to fading. <\/p>\n

Aluminium has been used throughout the bodywork to keep weight to a minimum while ensuring rigidity, and the car\u2019s centre of gravity is kept low thanks to use of a three-layered fabric soft top – for when the noise (or the weather) becomes too much for the occupamnts.<\/p>\n

European order books are open now, but US customers will have to wait until later this year when the AMG GT S Roadster will reach US dealerships.<\/p>\n
