What Does “AMG®” Stand for?

The letters A, M, and G are the initials of the engineers who created AMG® 50 years ago: Aufrecht, Melcher, and Großβaspach. What started as a dream to create racing engines for the Mercedes-Benz lineup led to the birth of the Mercedes-Benz AMG® performance division. Any model that bears the AMG® title combines thrilling performance, bold design, and advanced technology for an exceptional driving experience.

AMG® Design

  • A domed hood that makes room for an internal hood duct, which bolsters engine cooling for greater performance. 
  • Oversized vents on the AMG® Front Apron to pull more air to the engine. 
  • An interior with plenty of AMG®-exclusive accents and features, such as AMG® Silver Chrome trim, motorsports-inspired aluminum shift paddles, and AMG® performance seats with heating and memory functions. 
  • A rear diffuser that streamlines airflow and adds an even sportier touch to the exterior. 
  • AIRPANEL®, which improves aerodynamics and pulls more air toward the rear diffuser. 
  • Staggered-width wheels for improved wheel adhesion and driver control during tight cornering.
