What Does AMG® Stand for?

The brand name AMG® contains the initials of the automotive engineers at Daimler-Benz in the 1960s who developed racing engines in their spare time: Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher. The G stands for Großβaspach, the city where they developed an engine that, in 1965, debuted at the German Touring Car Championship, where it proceeded to win ten times. Since then, AMG® has designated Mercedes-Benz engines with the power and performance capabilities for the racing circuit.

AMG® Design

The fierce styling of any Mercedes-Benz AMG® vehicle is a reflection of the power contained under the hood. Prepare to command attention in a vehicle with: 

  • A domed hood makes room for an internal hood duct, which bolsters engine cooling for greater performance. 
  • Oversized vents on the AMG® Front Apron to pull more air to the engine. 
  • An interior with plenty of AMG®-exclusive accents and features, such as AMG® Silver Chrome trim, motorsports-inspired aluminum shift paddles, and AMG® performance seats with heating and memory functions. 
  • A rear diffuser that streamlines airflow and adds an even sportier touch to the exterior. 
  • AIRPANEL, which improves aerodynamics and pulls more air toward the rear diffuser. 
  • Staggered-width wheels for improved wheel adhesion and driver control during tight cornering.
