2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT V8 Biturbo Roadster

This 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT Convertible pairs the 4.0-litre M178 twin-turbo V8 with the open-top format, finished here in Magnetite Black metallic over a black and anthracite leather cabin. With 469 bhp on tap and a sub-four-second 0-62 capability, the Roadster body adds drama without significantly blunting the coupe's pace, and the switchable exhaust system makes the V8 unmistakable on start-up.

The specification is well-judged for daily use. Equipment includes Burmester surround sound, adaptive cruise control pro, blind spot monitoring, road sign recognition, front and rear park assist with reversing camera, keyless-go, heated and electrically-adjustable memory seats, neck-level heating, illuminated door sills, and 20-inch multi-spoke alloys in gloss black contrasted by silver brake callipers.

Covering 17,000 miles from new, the car carries a consistent main-dealer service history with stamps from Mercedes-Benz Harrogate, GC Motors and Mercedes-Benz Kessel, the most recent visit at Harrogate in April 2024 at 13,924 miles. A tidy, properly maintained example of the V8 Roadster before the AMG GT line moved to its second-generation platform.
