AMG - modified brand history

In 1967, Hans Werner Aufrecht (A) and Erhard Melcher (M) founded AMG in Grossaspach (G), Germany. The company employs 500 people and produces about 12,000 cars each year.

In the 1970s, AMG had achieved a lot of success. Many Mercedes-Benz cars and high-performance street cars were built, but it was not until 1988 that AMG became an important force in producing high-performance automobiles. That year, AMG and Mercedes-Benz established a strategic partnership, and Mercedes-Benz also began to return to the German Auto Tour and other events. The first car developed by the two companies was the C36 AMG produced in 1993. Now Mercedes-Benz is committed to producing its AMG model on each Mercedes-Benz.

       Emphasizing the tradition of high performance, especially the application of high-horsepower engines and the unique concept of M and AMG - the limited supply, these will make fans around the world drunk, but also created a company like M and AMG Enduring glory.

Earlier, AMG was mainly based on the Mercedes-Benz 300 SE to build some cars to participate in the European Touring Tournament. However, in order to win, the company also had a long wait, the breakthrough in the first game in 1971. A Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 modified by AMG won the championship in the 24-hour race of the famous Belgian Spa, and got the second overall ranking. The driver was Hans Heyer and his teammate Clemes Schickendanz. It was later confirmed that the success of 1971 was a turning point for AMG's enviable achievements on the track.

      As we mentioned AMG today, we all know that it is a leading company specializing in Mercedes-Benz. Of course, it has been attributed to Mercedes-Benz. But back in the 1960s, AMG was simply a handy workshop that couldn't be simpler. Tell you a little episode: At that time, a customer from the German Keel Mummer opened his own Mercedes-Benz car to AMG's city, looking for AMG company everywhere, want to modify their Mercedes. However, after looking for a round, he discovered that AMG was little known. When he asked "Where to Find AMG" at the door of one or two small garages, the man in the garage told him, hey, brother, what you see is AMG! The customer could not believe his eyes. In the end, when his Mercedes was stuck in AMG's garage for modification, he was still wondering. Is this really AMG?

       It was 1968.

       Obviously today, the protagonist of the story has completely reborn and remains unchanged. It is the performance, quality and safety that AMG has always been determined to pursue. These AMG management philosophies have been handed down from generation to generation, leading the field in this modification. Leading companies continue to innovate. Since AMG set up its headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany, in 1978, its conversion workshop near Stuttgart has slowly expanded to 40,000 square meters. The number of employees has also increased to 600, and the annual output is 12,000. When AMG celebrated its 35th birthday in 2002, a new engine factory, a new exhibition hall and two new technology R&D centers were also completed. The engine factory had only one production line. The workers carefully and carefully built a super engine engraved with the name of the AMG engineer. The output of 100 units per day naturally announced their preciousness. In AMG's showroom, you can see at least 8 different Super Mercedess from AMG, and AMG's showrooms often have high-end conventions and exhibitions in addition to displaying new cars.

       From the perspective of AMG's development, it was the engine that was best at the time. It was their main business project. It wasn’t until the 1990s that they started to enter the market for car modification. AMG emphasized the tradition of high-performance engines. In particular, the application of high-powered engines, but it is worth noting that AMG's modification of the power system is not the same as Germany's another professionally modified Mercedes-Benz's BRABUS, replacing the original engine with a higher-horsepower engine. It is the improvement of the original power system that squeezes out the last minute power of the engine!

       In addition, AMG also offers a variety of conversion kits, including front bumper and fog lights, rear bumper, side skirts, rear spoiler, various models of aluminum alloy wheels, shock absorbers and rear section Exhaust pipe and so on. Every AMG engine has an engineer's signature. AMG mainly highlights the high-performance modification on the basis of the original vehicle, such as increasing the cylinder volume appropriately, and raising the engine power through a high-performance turbocharger, replacing the forged piston connecting rod, (general vehicles are cast), high Performance of EFI devices. The appearance of the modification generally requires careful observation to find, such as the modified spoiler or rear wing and other changes in aerodynamic attachments, the size of the hub changes little but must be advanced. AMG's products are in full compliance with various indicators of the German vehicle management sector, because the engine must be changed to change the chassis, AMG is very good at strengthening the chassis's sports performance and vehicle safety performance. The modified tail gas index has reached the European IV standard implemented in Europe in 2005.
