20171004 PI Sonderausstellung AMG En From 20 October 2017: Special exhibition - 50 Years of AMG Press Information Fascination of AMG at the Mercedes-Benz Museum 04 October 2017 Half a century of passion for performance and sportiness: From 20 October 2017 to 8 April 2018, the Mercedes-Benz Museum is holding the special exhibition 50 Years of AMG. The main attractions are ten vehicles, engines and other exhibits charting the history of the performance and sports car brand founded in 1967, among them the design model of the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE. On 21/22 October 2017, the accompanying programme includes public DTM talks and the presentation of numerous privately owned vehicles around the Museum at "AMG & Friends". Photos of the exhibition will be available from 20 October at: https://mercedes-benz-archive.com/marsMuseum Stuttgart. The Mercedes-Benz Museum is presenting the design model of the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE as one of the highlights of its new exhibition.This super-sports car study as a design model with hybrid technology from the Formula 1 Silver Arrows can be seen in the special exhibition 50 Years of AMG from 20 October 2017 until the end of 2017. Subsequently the powertrain with its high- performance plug-in hybrid technology will be exhibited for visitors who have a particular technical interest. The three letters AMG hold a special fascination: they stand for a multifaceted success story that began in 1967. This was when Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher founded their engineering consultancy. It was already known for Mercedes-Benz employees to privately build racing cars based on their employer's standard-production automobiles – and this was initially also the core business of the new company. Soon, customer vehicles, too, would be optimised for sportiness. Mercedes-Benz Museum GmbH, Mercedesstrasse 100, 70372 Stuttgart, Germany A Daimler Company This led to the development of an extensive range of racing vehicles and high- Page 2 performance standard-production automobiles. From 1990 onwards, Mercedes- Benz and AMG engaged in direct cooperation. In 1999 the Stuttgart-based company acquired a majority stake in AMG. Since 2005 Mercedes-AMG GmbH has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daimler AG. The Affalterbach-based company has already demonstrated its high level of development expertise w ith two sports cars developed entirely in-house, the SLS AMG and the AMG GT (AMG GT model family: combined fuel consumption: 11.4-9.3 l/100 km, combined CO 2 emissions: 259-216 g/km*) . The Mercedes-Benz Museum is relating the five decade long history of Mercedes- AMG in a special exhibition that can be seen in Collection room C5 from 20 October 2017 to 8 April 2018. As a run-up on the first weekend after the exhibition opens, there be will be public DTM talks with Ellen Lohr, Klaus Ludwig and other Mercedes-AMG racing drivers on 21/22 October 2017. Under the motto "AMG & Friends", visitors to the Museum are also able to bring their own AMG and park and present it in the open areas outside the Mercedes-Benz Museum between 9.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. The design of the exhibition takes up the highly dynamic Mercedes-AMG design idiom. Thematically, the vehicle exhibits are divided into four areas: motorsport, standard production vehicles, technology and future. One of the areas in which Mercedes-AMG has particular expertise is engines. For this reason, the exhibition additionally presents eight outstanding high-performance engines. The passion for technology points the way to the company's future. This is made obvious by the design model of the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE. The showcar celebrated its premiere in September 2017, at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt/Main. After the AMG GT Concept, the concept car exhibited at the show is the second ambassador for the Driving Performance of the future, and gives numerous specific clues that a production model is in the offing. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain rated at over 740 kW (over 1000 hp) system output is based on the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One racing cars with which the Stuttgart brand won the Formula One drivers' and constructors' championships in each of the last three seasons. The drive unit consists of a 1.6-litre V6 hybrid petrol engine with Mercedes-Benz Museum GmbH, Mercedesstrasse 100, 70372 Stuttgart, Germany A Daimler Company direct injection, electrically assisted turbocharging and an electric motor connected Page 3 to the crankshaft. Two additional electric motors are installed at the front axle. The AMG Project ONE accelerates from rest to 200 km/h in under six seconds and has a top speed of over 350 km/h. Also to be seen in the exhibition are the current Mercedes-AMG GT R (combined fuel consumption: 11.4 l/100 km; combined CO 2 emissions: 259 g/km*), which is displayed as a complete vehicle, spaceframe and powertrain, and the following three motorsport and five standard vehicles: • AMG 300 SEL 6.8 (1969): With this vehicle, based on a Mercedes-Benz luxury-class saloon of the W 109 model series, AMG achieved a class victory as well as second place in the overall classification at the 24-Hour Race in Spa-Francorchamps in 1971. • AMG-Mercedes CLK-GTR racing tourer (1997): This was the vehicle in which Klaus Ludwig competed in the FIA GT championship in 1997. The following year, he won the championship in the CLK-LM successor model. • Mercedes-AMG GT3 (2016): The customer-sports racing car was produced in 2014 on the basis of the Mercedes-AMG GT high-performance sports cars of the 190 model series. In 2016, the most successful season since the inception of the AMG customer sports programme, Maro Engel, Bernd Schneider, Adam Christodoulou and Manuel Metzger from the BLACK FALCON team drove the exhibited vehicle to victory in the 24-Hour Race at the Nürburgring. • AMG 300 CE 6.0 (1986): This vehicle, based on the C 124 model series, embodies the culture of performance at the service of ambitious private customers. The US motoring press gave this car, at the time the most powerful model in the upper medium class, the nickname "The Hammer". • Mercedes-Benz C 36 AMG (1995): The high-performance saloon of the W 202 model series was the first production vehicle to be developed jointly by Mercedes-Benz and AMG. It founded a product portfolio that now numbers more than 50 models. • Mercedes-Benz E 50 AMG (1995): The AMG top-of-the-line model of the E- Class (model series 210) was available from 1996. The 255 kW (347 hp) Performance saloon with V8 engine came as standard with sports Mercedes-Benz Museum GmbH, Mercedesstrasse 100, 70372 Stuttgart, Germany A Daimler Company suspension, wide-base tyres on light-alloy wheels and AMG Styling. The Page 4 E 50 AMG was available exclusively with the same new, electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission that was used in the eight- and twelve-cylinder models of the S-Class and SL sports cars. • Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG (2005): The first SL sports car (model series R 230) to be developed jointly by Mercedes-Benz and AMG came onto the market in autumn 2001. The SL 55 AMG was powered by a 368 kW (500 hp) supercharged V8 engine. It was followed in 2004 by the SL 65 AMG. • Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series (2013): The AMG Performance Studio develops and produces special vehicles in exclusive numbers – the "Black Series". They provide AMG customers with possibilities that exceed even those offered by the standard-production high-performance automobiles from Mercedes-AMG. The first high-performance sports car to be developed entirely independently by Mercedes-AMG, the Mercedes- Benz SLS AMG of the 197 model series, is also available in a Black Series.

Please always wear your seat belt and obey local speed laws. See your Operator’s Manual for important additional information. No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires. 2 Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load. 3 Lower-aspect-ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions. Models with Extended Mobility tires are not provided with a spare tire. Most AMG models are provided with TIREFIT sealant and a portable air pump in lieu of a spare tire. Extreme-performance sport tires are designed for competition use in specific temperature conditions.

  • 9142059 AMG GLE 53 Coupe Brochure Mobile Version July 2021
    The all-new Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé. Passion finds a home. Every great story begins with a dream. And the AMG story is no different. In the 1960s, the passion of two automotive engineers, Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher knew no bounds. They dreamt of transforming regular cars into performance powerhouses. Employed at the Development Department at Daimler-Benz, they would spend all of their spare time honing their passion and perfecting engines at Aufrecht’s house in Großaspach. Their exceptional work on the 300 SE engine made their friend, a Mercedes-Benz racecar driver, win ten races and made the duo a popular force on the racetrack. Following the new success, they moved to an old mill in Burgstall to continue pursuing their passion and founded AMG in 1967 (A for Aufrecht, M for Melcher and G for Großaspach). AMG opens its wings in India. For over 10 years, the AMG brand in the country has reigned over the hearts of performance car enthusiasts and those who are passionate about driving performance. The launch of SLS AMG in 2010 took the country by storm as India was among the first right-hand-drive markets to launch the Gullwing within the first few weeks of its production. In 2011, India witnessed the launch of one of the most iconic SUVs ever made. A true champion with countless stories of adventure and an unmatched legacy of over 40 years, this Star proved that its DNA was stronger than time. This was the Mercedes-AMG G 55 AMG introduced a new performance level in the shape of the that enthralled audiences and became the flag-bearer of 53 Series.

Mercedes-Benz kehitti 1960-luvun alussa 220 SE/300 SE -malliin kilpamoottoria, jonka parissa tuotekehitysosastolla työskentelivät insinööreinä myös Hans-Werner Aufrecht ja Erhard Melcher. Hans-Werner Aufrecht oli moottorin dynamometri-insinööri, ja Melcher oli puolestaan armoitettu virittäjävelho ja tunnettu motocross-kuljettaja. Kehitystyön ollessa kesken vuonna 1965 rallisääntöjä muutettiin, ja Mercedes-Benz päätti suunnata kilpamoottorin valmistamiseen sidotut voimavarat muualle lopettaen näiden moottoreiden kehitystyön kilpakäyttöön. Ystävykset Aufrecht ja Melcher jatkoivat kuitenkin intohimoisesti voimanlähteen virittämistä Burgstalin kylässä. Kolmesta kirjaimesta viimeinen tulee Aufrechtin kotipitäjästä eli Grosspachista.

    Driving Performance. The world of Mercedes-AMG. “ Driving Performance” describes the two core elements of our brand. First, the power delivery, handling and sound – in other words, the elements that define the unique AMG driving experience. And second, our claim to be the innovator in the high-performance segment. The C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series delivers 510-hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. Brilliant engineering is the sum of many small improvements. AMG 1967: Con-rod of the AMG 300 SEL 6.8, also known as the “Legend of Spa” From attention to detail to the big picture: At the beginning, AMG was mainly occupied with the question “Which parts can we improve to make a car faster?” This passion increasingly led us to consider the car as a whole. The epitome of this principle is the SLS AMG, which was completely developed in Affalterbach. 2010: Development of the M159 AMG 6.3-liter V8 front-mid engine Affalterbach. Home of driving performance. Our headquarters in the south of Germany. We are at home in Affalterbach, a small town northeast of Stuttgart in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The high-performance brand of Mercedes-Benz has called this beautiful countryside home since the start of our company’s success in 1967. 8 The AMG Heritage The history of AMG: 45 years of driving performance. The story of AMG begins with two Daimler-Benz engineers. Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher worked in the Daimler-Benz Group’s development department in the 1960s and prepared the 300 SE racing engine – until Mercedes-Benz suspended all motorsport activities.

Members of Parliament and union leaders said the Princess, who is 30 years old, should have stuck with her British-made Jaguar. She is the first member of the royal family in memory to use a foreign car. “This decision by the Princess is at best insensitive and at worst deeply unpatriotic,” said Jimmy Airlie, a negotiator with an engineering union. The rumpus compounded the woes of Queen Elizabeth II, whose son and heir, Prince Charles, is husband to the Princess, Diana. As the Queen celebrates the 40th anniversary of her accession, she has been beset by demands that she pay taxes and by newspaper attacks on the antics of younger members of her family. Buckingham Palace said the Princess’s new metallic-red, two-seat Mercedes-Benz 500SL was worth $130,000 and was being leased “for her personal use.” News reports said the Princess had sold her personal Jaguar XJS sports car, although she would continue to use an official Jaguar sedan.
