About the brand ❤️
Mercedes‑AMG GmbH is the high‑performance and motorsport subsidiary of the German luxury automaker Mercedes‑Benz, known for producing enhanced and sport‑tuned versions of Mercedes production models. Founded in 1967 by engineers Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher as an independent racing engine and performance workshop, AMG quickly gained a reputation for powerful tuned engines and competition‑ready machines. In the early 1990s, it began cooperating closely with Mercedes‑Benz, eventually becoming a fully owned subsidiary of Mercedes‑Benz AG in 2005. Based in Affalterbach in the Stuttgart region, AMG develops and hand‑assembles performance engines and bespoke vehicles characterized by more aggressive styling, upgraded chassis and braking systems, and significantly increased power outputs compared with standard Mercedes models. Today, Mercedes‑AMG represents the pinnacle of Mercedes‑Benz performance engineering and is integral to the brand’s presence in motorsport and high‑end luxury sports cars.
