MercedesAMGs

Mercedes-AMG is a high-performance automotive brand that originated as an independent engineering company, AMG, founded in 1967 by former Mercedes-Benz engineers Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher. Their initial focus was on developing Mercedes-Benz vehicles for racing and enhancing their performance. In 1990, Mercedes-Benz began a cooperative agreement with AMG, leading to the official production of AMG-tuned Mercedes-Benz cars. Mercedes-Benz acquired a majority stake in AMG in 1998, and in 2005, it became a wholly owned subsidiary, renamed Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

AMG vehicles are known for their powerful engines, enhanced suspension systems, upgraded braking, and distinctive styling. They often feature hand-built engines, meticulously assembled by a single technician, a process often referred to as "one man, one engine." AMG models typically represent the top-tier performance variants of their respective Mercedes-Benz model lines, offering a significant step up in dynamics and luxury. The brand offers a wide range of vehicles, from compact sports cars to large luxury sedans and SUVs, all bearing the AMG badge to signify their performance pedigree.
