Mercedes‑Benz tease new AMG GT Convertible

Mercedes-AMG’s pre-Paris Motor Show teaser video of its new baby doesn’t show much but it does confirm that a) the car should be a looker, and b) that, as expected, it will have a canvas hood rather than more elaborate folding metal hard-top. From the video, it would appear the electric top stows unobtrusively under only a slightly bulging panel aft of the two-seater’s twin rollover hoops.

Message? This is the sports car to the SL’s grand tourer, and as such will be out to win over 911 Carrera and Jaguar F-type convertible buyers. As with the GT coupe, the C should be right up there with its rivals for dynamic performance.
