27045 AMG GTC Convertible Car Model Building Set | 336 PCS

AMG GTC Convertible — Stuttgart's Open-Air V8 Symphony

This 336-piece display set captures the Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster — the open-top version of AMG's hand-built V8 sports car that combines devastating performance with wind-in-your-hair grand touring. With its blue exterior and included display case, this compact model celebrates one of the most sonorous convertibles of the modern era.

The Real Machine

The Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster occupies a sweet spot in the AMG GT lineup — more powerful and aggressively equipped than the base GT Roadster, but not as track-focused as the GT R. Its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, hand-built in Affalterbach under AMG's "one man, one engine" philosophy, produces 550 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque. The result is 0-60 in 3.7 seconds with a 196 mph top speed — experienced with the three-layer fabric roof folded away, letting that magnificent V8 soundtrack wash over you and everyone within a quarter mile. The GT C adds wider rear track, active rear steering, and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential over the base GT, giving it the chassis hardware to match its engine output. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT seven-speed dual-clutch transmission delivers shifts with mechanical precision, while the front-mid engine layout provides balanced handling that belies the car's 3,900-pound weight. Production ran from 2017 to 2021, with approximately 2,000+ roadster variants built.

Design & Build

At 336 pieces, this compact model captures the GT C Roadster's dramatic proportions — the impossibly long hood, the compact cockpit, and the wide rear end. The blue exterior is clean and elegant, while the detailed grille, transparent windshield, and carbon fiber-textured accents add finishing touches. The convertible configuration shows the car in its best light — top down, revealing the luxury interior. The included display case presents it professionally.
