What is Mercedes-AMG®?

The Mercedes-AMG® line is an obsession with driving performance. The AMG® line features high-powered luxury vehicles with a distinct blend of performance, engineering, and style. From the vicious speed of the SL 63 to the rugged power of the G 63, each vehicle is built to stir the senses.

AMG®, which stands for Aufrecht Melcher Grossaspach, was created by two legends of the automobile industry: Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher. The duo formed the company in 1967 in a double garage under Aufrecht’s house.
