If you were one of the billion-plus people who watched the Super Bowl and you didn’t change the channel during commercials (Who in their right mind would do that anyways?), you probably caught Mercedes-Benz America’s ad that celebrated the AMG® brand’s 50th Anniversary. Hard to believe that the Mercedes-Benz AMG® line has been around for half a century, but the savants in the Mercedes-Benz Marketing Department couldn’t have picked a better movie (Easy Rider) to tie this world-class brand’s anniversary in with, or employ a better spokesperson (Peter Fonda), who not only starred in the movie but is also a long-time Mercedes-Benz devotee.
The commercial also speaks to the impending debut of a vehicle that seekers of a Mercedes AMG® near Owings Mills, MD will soon have the chance to own: the 2018 Mercedes-AMG® GT C Roadster. Arriving at American dealerships this fall, what we have here is a brand-new member of what is already one of the world’s best sports car families. If you like power, you’ll love the Mercedes-AMG® GT C Roadster model’s powertrain, which is rated at 550hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. And if you’re equally smitten with performance, you’ll be champing at the bit to experience this sublime car’s electronically-controlled rear-axle locking differential, active rear-axle steering, and AMG® Ride Control. And if that isn’t enough, you’ll also get a variable-performance exhaust system that forms a divine partnership with this model’s V8 engine.
If you can’t wait until fall for this brand-new Mercedes-Benz AMG® offering, why not test drive a 2017 Mercedes-AMG® GT coupe, a world-class performance car in its own right. And if an SUV is more your style, check out the Mercedes-Benz AMG® variant of a Mercedes-Benz GLC near Westminster, MD. Either way, Mercedes-Benz Owings Mills is the place to be!
