Mercedes is one of the most popular car manufacturers in the world. Mercedes vehicles are known for their class and beautiful, sleek design. Although Mercedes has saloon variants such as the C220d and S350L, some people want more. That is where the performance division of Mercedes comes in… AMG
AMG was named after the original founders Aufrecht, Melcher and Großaspach. AMG originally started in the motor racing world by taking the Mercedes-Benz 300SEL and turning it into a 6.8 litre monster called ‘Red Pig’. It managed to finish second in the 24 hours at SPA, beating most of their rival manufacturers.
In the 1980s, AMG continued to provide aftermarket and tuning enhancements for Mercedes-Benz Models. In 1986 you could send your W124 Mercedes-Benz E-Class to them, and AMG would create a car which was given the nickname ‘Hammer’. Not only was the Hammer cool, but it was also stereotypically 1980s, featuring wide arches and power pumped up to 375bhp – which was thanks to a 6.0-litre V8 engine. It was hugely fast as well, with 0 to 62mph happening in around 4.4 seconds which is quick today; almost crazy back in 1980s.
In the late 1980’s, The First AMG model was available through Mercedes-Benz Dealerships with a full warranty, in the form of a 225bhp 190 E AMG.
Perhaps one of the more important times in the AMG story was in 2011, which saw arguably the most celebrated AMG model being developed, the C63 AMG Coupe. This was the last C-Class AMG model to feature a naturally aspirated engine and for those reasons, makes these cars sought after.
2011 also saw the next instalment of the Black Series AMG, the 512bhp C 63 Black Series. A car capable of hitting 62mph from standstill in just over 4 seconds and go on to a top speed of 186mph. It certainly looks the part with the motorsport inspired wing and aggressive canards.
More recently, the 2020’s have welcomed some amazing Mercedes-AMG models, such as the A45 AMG, GLA45S and GLC63. After getting on for a decade since any new AMG Black Series models were launched, a sixth addition to the Black Series legacy has been added in the form of the epic Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series.
AMG’s most track-focused product yet, it is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine and resembles Mercedes-AMG racing cars. 0-62 mph occurs in just over 3 seconds, and the top speed is 202 mph, making it one serious racetrack machine that is also road legal.
