Lacking any direct predecessors and not comparable by any means to the SLR and SLS, the AMG GT has put Mercedes back on the grid, challenging the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo and Audi R8.

The “it” variant right now is the GT R, and rightly so; this, however, does not forbid us from indulging in a bit of “what if” musings.

Chopping the roof to an uncomfortable level and sprinkling the entire car with racy nuts and bolts, RainPrisk came up with one of the most interesting renderings of the Mercedes-AMG GT yet, one that is much more uncompromising than the upcoming AMG GT C Roadster.

Speaking of which, the first drop-top of the AMG GT family is bound to reach dealerships next year. Collectors on the lookout for a Merc Speedster could try their luck on the SLR McLaren Stirling Moss that currently goes for around $2 to $3 million on the ‘used’ car market.
