Mercedes-Benz has outlined its display for the 2019 Shanghai motor show, which kicks off on April 16. Two vehicles will headline the Mercedes stand, one being the Concept GLB which previews the all-new GLB SUV, the other being the long-wheelbase version of the Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan which will be exclusive to the Chinese market.

Mercedes-AMG has revealed the limited-edition GT R Roadster,blending the track-focused nature of the GT R coupe with the thrills of open-top motoring. Just 750 examples will be produced, with power coming from the same 430kW/700Nm 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 as the GT R coupe. The company claims the drop-top GT R can hit 100km/h from a standstill in just 3.6 seconds (the same as the coupe), on its way to a top speed of 317km/h – just 1km/h shy of the coupe's vmax.
