From start to finish, AMG® engineers work in tandem with the Mercedes-Benz development team to meld AMG® technology with the vehicle in question based on its performance, handling, and luxury standards. To fully incorporate the power and prestige of the AMG® brand, a variety of specially designed components are installed to summon the best, most impressive performance from the sedan, coupe, SUV, or roadster. Adhering to the “One Man, One Engine” philosophy of the AMG® brand, the AMG® 4-cylinder, V8, and V12 engines are hand-built to completion by one Master Engine Builder. The finished product is a race-derived Mercedes-Benz vehicle with over 500 original AMG® parts – many of which are available right here at our AMG® Center! Learn more about what our center has to offer, and explore the thrilling Mercedes-AMG® lineup.
Since its inception, AMG® has held fast to its original “One Man, One Engine” philosophy and is currently the only car maker that crafts each of its engines with one Master Engine Builder from beginning to end. Capable of doling out 375 to 621 hp, the AMG® engines introduce advanced racing technology to the streets and highways, as well as the track. What’s more, they do so without sacrificing fuel economy, allowing drivers to experience the rip-roaring AMG® power in any environment.
Specially engineered to the apply the force of the AMG® engines, the AMG® transmissions promise a smooth, adaptable ride. Driver-adjustable, the AMG® transmissions, such as the SPEEDSHIFT® MCT or the SPEEDSHIFT® PLUS 7G-TRONIC, allow you to alternate between driving modes for a comfortable, efficient, or sporty drive. Made from aluminum or steel, AMG®-specific suspension components, including shocks, springs, anti-roll bars, and mounting-point reinforcements, underscore the responsiveness of the AMG® vehicle.
Performance 4MATIC® all-wheel drive is yet another aspect of the AMG® brand that truly sets it apart from other car makers in the industry. Adapted from the Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® technology, the AMG®-exclusive all-wheel drive system allocates torque to the drive wheels for a harmonious drive on normal and rugged roads alike. Astonishingly, the AMG® Performance 4MATIC® system is much lighter than many systems of its kind and adds to the inherent dexterity of the AMG® lineup.
Working in accordance with the 4MATIC® system is a 3-stage Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) with Sport function, which includes three modes: ESP® ON, ESP® SPORT HANDLING MODE, and ESP® OFF. This system works tirelessly to promote stability and can apply the brakes to one or more wheels, as well as reduce engine torque, to keep the Mercedes-AMG® on track. The 4-Wheel Electronic Traction System (4ETS®) also enhances wheel-grip and makes carving corners a breeze.
Today, the AMG® plant in Affalterbach is managed by over 1,100 professionals, resulting in an AMG® lineup that’s as extensive and varied as it is high-performing. What’s more, all late-model AMG® vehicles follow the “AMG® Performance 50” strategy, which employs a favorable power-to-fuel ratio and fewer harmful emissions. AMG® has also earned the distinction of being the most prosperous brand in DTM history, netting 26 wins in the 2011 FIA GT3 European championship with the SLS AMG® GT3. Needless to say, the AMG® brand has carved a niche in the performance segment with its revolutionary developments and multiple victories and recognitions.

The debut of the Mercedes-AMG® GT3 in the 44th ADAC Zurich 24-hour race proved to be a monumental success. In the most triumphant achievement to date, the Mercedes-AMG® swept positions 1, 2, 3, and 4 and swooped in for 6th to really drive it home.
First place is credited to the #4 entry of the AMG®-Team Black Falcon, including Maro Engel, Bernd Schneider, Adam Christodoulou, and Manuel Metzger. Black Falcon prevailed after 3,400.65 kilometres with a 5.697 second lead. Other big AMG® victories are as follows:
Expert race strategies and a cool demeanor are, of course, key, but a 24-hour race is measured by endurance, and only a truly reliable car can go the distance. With Mercedes-AMG® vehicles and AMG® Performance Teams at the ready, it’s no surprise AMG® dominated the top six out of 150+ cars.
In the 1960s, Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, two engineers in the Daimler-Benz Development department, were fine-tuning the soon-to-be groundbreaking 300 SE engine. Despite the company’s subsequent discontinuation of racing-inspired engines, the two visionaries worked dedicatedly on the side to refine the 300 SE engine. Shortly after its completion, the 300 SE engine went on to win ten times at the German Touring Car Championship, earning Aufrecht and Melcher an award-winning reputation.
In 1966, after leaving Mercedes-Benz to pursue their passion for motorsports, Aufrecht and Melcher established the “Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach Ingenieurbüro, Konstruktion, und Versuch zur Entwicklung von Rennmotoren,” or the “Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach engineering firm, design, and testing for the development of racing engines.” In 1971, the AMG® Mercedes 300 SEL 6.8 luxury sedan dominated at The 24 Hours of Spa, winning second place and out-performing full-fledged race cars. Thus, AMG® – Aufrecht, Melcher, and Großaspach – was put on the map.
