What is AMG®?

The AMG® Philosophy

The AMG® performance division traces its roots in the work of two automotive engineers who decided to fine-tune the engines used by Mercedes-Benz racecars. That was in 1967,

Today, AMG® is made up of some of the most skilled craftsmen, designers, and engineers on the planet. And it isn’t just about being the best — it’s about being able to look forward. AMG® personnel live to test and reinvent limits.

Even among the luxury cars seen so frequently across Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Van Nuys, you’ll be able to instantly pick out an Mercedes-Benz AMG® model thanks to its bolder styling, but the differences run far beyond the surface. It’s hand-built craftsmanship that defines the class, with the “One Man, One Engine” philosophy meaning that each powerhouse is crafted by hand by a single master craftsman.

As each generation passes, AMG® engines become more sophisticated. It goes without saying that more power is put at your disposal, but they also draw on advanced engineering to provide that muscle more efficiently.

The AMG® philosophy is apparent in all aspects of these vehicles, including:

• Handling: Everything from weight distribution and wheel design is enhanced, with AMG® RIDE CONTROL sport suspension and AMG® high-performance braking delivering a precision ride.

• Sound: Each AMG® model growls with its own individual accent thanks to unique distinctions from different drive modes.

• Control: AMG® Performance 4MATIC® all-wheel drive is light enough for a spirited ride while delivering exceptional traction.
