Geneva LIVE: Mercedes-AMG GT R Roadster

The production run will be limited to just 750 units.

Mercedes-AMG has revealed the GT R Roadster, a limited-edition convertible that joins the ever-growing GT family.

The GT R Roadster features a fabric soft top with lightweight aluminum and magnesium construction and an acoustic mat that helps absorb wind noise.

The roadster is powered by AMG's 4.0-liter V8 Bitrubo engine with 577 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, providing enough oomph to reach 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and eventually hit 197 mph.

The GT R trim boasts a long list of exterior upgrades including a wider stance, a larger rear wing, and exclusive 20-inch wheels in the rear and 19-inch rims up front.

Engineers have implemented active aerodynamic components to manage airflow around the engine and underneath the car, minimizing lift and maximizing efficiency and downforce.

Mercedes plans to build just 750 examples of the GT R Roadster.
