    facebook.com/mercedesbenzusa linkedin.com/company/mercedes-benz-usa instagram.com/mbusa twitter.com/mbusa Mercedes-AMG youtube.com/mbusa 2018 ENDNOTES 1 Certain modes are not for use on public roads or where people, animals or obstacles may be within range of the vehicle. 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-AMG: 50 Vuotta Huippuluokan Suorituskykyä
    Tiedotusvälineille 1.6.2017 Julkaistavissa heti AMG-mallistossa jo yli 50 urheilullista automallia Mercedes-AMG: 50 vuotta huippuluokan suorituskykyä AMG:n perustivat Hans-Werner Aufrecht ja Erhard Melcher 50 vuotta sitten Virallinen yhteistyö Mercedes-Benzin kanssa käynnistyi 1990 Mercedes-AMG:stä tuli Daimler AG:n tytäryhtiö 2005 Nykyinen Mercedes-AMG on Daimlerin urheiluauto-osaamisen keihäänkärki Yhtiö työllistää noin 1500 työntekijää kolmella paikkakunnalla Saksassa Moottorit kootaan käsityönä one man, one engine –periaatteella Vuosi 2016 oli Mercedes-AMG:lle ennätyksellinen lähes 100 000 myydyllä autolla AMG:n tarina on suoraan kuin Hollywoodin menestyselokuvan käsikirjoituksesta: kaksi miestä perustaa yhteisen yrityksen, jonka innoittajana on halu tehdä Mercedes-Benz-autoista sporttisempia. 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.

  • 2013 Mercedes-Benz
    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.

  • The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC Coupé. in Its Element on Every Terrain. Test Drive Contact Us Dealer Locator
    Test Drive Contact Us Dealer Locator The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC Coupé. In its element on every terrain. Test Drive Contact Us Dealer Locator 1 Supremacy requires technical genius. And a home. Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher laid the foundations for AMG in 1967, their minds set on racing success. Together they optimized the output of engines and became involved in customer sport. They quickly pitted themselves against strong and established racing teams. And in 1971 they won the legendary 24 Hours of Spa race with the AMG 300 SEL 6.8 in its class. Their courage and their determination to try the impossible and to work hard for it, characterize the spirit at our development location in Affalterbach to this day. This is where 1300 employees work to develop exciting performance vehicles and sports cars – built with high tech means and meticulous craftsmanship. 700 engineers in the development department alone make AMG a driver of innovation in the sector.
