Mercedes-AMG’s flagship sports car range is set to make like a rabbit and multiply, with a wave of new models earmarked for Australia.

Currently, the only GT on sale locally is the $295,000 GT S, however it will be joined by the entry-level GT before year’s end. Pricing is yet to be confirmed, but bank on around 10-15 per cent less than the ‘S’.

Some equipment may also be dropped, but as with all Aussie AMGs expect even the base GT to come heavily specced with equipment that’s optional overseas.

The GT range will expand further in mid-2017 with the local arrival of AMG’s new hardcore GT R, unveiled over the weekend at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Also expected in 2017 is the newly-confirmed Roadster, which will add open-air thrills to the GT’s repertoire courtesy of a folding soft-top, much like the previous SLS Roadster.
