The 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT R roadster is the new droptop version. Production is limited to just 750 units worldwide, but the sun and the stars don't come cheap.

Both feature the same twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8, seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, adaptive dampers, rear-wheel steering, electronically controlled limited-slip differential, and active aerodynamic addenda. The roadster's folding softtop comes from the GT and GT C convertibles and features three layers of fabric stretched over an aluminum, magnesium, and steel frame.

The 4.0-liter used across the GT range has been dialed up in the GT R models to produce 577 horsepower at 6250 rpm—108 more horses than the standard GT and 17 more than the GT C model. Although that output makes the roadster Mercedes's most powerful two-seat convertible, it's far from its most powerful model. Other versions of this engine develop 603 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque in certain all-wheel-drive AMG models.

But power isn't the GT R roadster's shortcoming. Putting that power to the road effectively is. Off-the-line traction is a serious issue despite a considerable rear weight bias, a rear track widened by 2.2 inches over lesser GTs, and massive Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 summer performance tires, sized 275/35R-19 in front and 325/30R-20 at the back.
