Automotive engineers Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Welcher start AMG® in an old mill in Burgstall, Germany. Their mission: to develop and test racing engines for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
1993
First of its Kind
The C 36 AMG®, the first car jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and AMG®, begins production. In two years, it becomes the first AMG® model ever marketed in the U.S.
2007
A New Era
Coinciding with the company’s 40th anniversary, AMG® launches the groundbreaking C 63. With exclusive AMG® styling inside and out, the most powerful production C-Class ever also establishes a new design aesthetic unique to AMG®.
2015
Best Driver’s Car
MOTOR TREND selected the 2016 Mercedes-AMG® GT S as its 2015 Best Driver’s Car. “It put all 503 of its horsepower to the ground like an all-wheel-drive supercar and gripped the road through high-speed corners like a winged racer.”
Performance
A TEAM EFFORT
Whether it’s the hand-built craftsmanship of the “One Man – One Engine” philosophy or the ever-advancing technological leadership of the latest biturbos, an AMG® engine is developed not just to perform, but to outperform. But it’s just one of many high-performance weapons in our engineering arsenal.
WHAT IS MERCEDES-AMG®?
PASSION NEVER CUTS CORNERS.
In 1967, two automotive engineers with a passion for motorsports began fine-tuning engines for Mercedes-Benz racecars in an old mill. Today, as the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, AMG® creates some of the most sought-after vehicles in the world. They’re the product of skilled craftsmen, designers and engineers who live to test the limits, and one shared conviction: on the road to driving performance, short cuts never win the race.
A LINEUP OF SUPERSTARS. A FAMILY OF THOROUGHBREDS.
From the creators of the 45, 63 and 65 model lines comes Mercedes-AMG® 43, nine authentic performance vehicles with AMG® pedigree and a thirst for speed. Fitted with numerous AMG® enhancements, every vehicle screams “Drive me,” because in the AMG® family, performance is king. From coupes and sedans to SUVs and roadsters, the power and handling of the 43 lineup beckon to the world’s most passionate drivers. All that’s left to do is grip the wheel and press the accelerator.
