What Does “AMG®” Stand for in Mercedes-AMG®?

 

Have you always wondered, “What does ‘AMG®’ mean in Mercedes-AMG®?” The first two letters of “AMG®” stand for the names of its founders: Aufrecht and Melcher. The “G” in “AMG®” stands for Großaspach, which is the village in Germany where the two founders are from. Beginning as a two-man operation out of Burgstall, Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher established AMG®® after leaving Mercedes-Benz. Their first great victory came in 1971 with the AMG®® Mercedes 300 SEL 6.8, which placed second at the 24 Hours of Spa – putting Mercedes-AMG®® on the map. 

Fast forward to today, and it’s now a subsidiary of Daimler AG. AMG®® currently works with Mercedes-Benz to build luxurious vehicles that offer outstanding specs. Over the years, they’ve been perfected to satisfy Spring Valley lovers of luxury and high-speed capability.

Mercedes-AMG® vehicles offer all the luxury of their Mercedes-Benz siblings but excel in power delivery, handling, and sporty style. Every Mercedes-AMG® is forged with over 500 AMG® performance parts and systems that help them pull ahead of other performance lines like the BMW M lineup.

Some of the unique features that distinguish Mercedes-AMG® cars from other types include: 

  • Turbo engine hand-built by a Master Engine Builder

  • AMG® Performance 4MATIC® all-wheel drive

  • AMG® High-Performance Compound Braking System

  • AMG® RIDE CONTROL Sport Suspension with 3-stage damping

  • AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT®® with a RACE mode

  • AMG® instrumentation with RACETIMER®

  • And much, much more!

Mercedes-AMG® is defined as the perfect combination of top-notch luxury and high-grade performance. It’s a difference that can only be experienced when you take one for a test drive. If you’re near the Centennial Hills, you can test drive a Mercedes-AMG® model at our dealership!
