It is the story of two engineers Aufrecht and Melcher who worked in the racing engine development division of Daimler-Benz before the company closed its sports car division. However, that didn't stop them from completing work on the engine which soon found its place in the 300SE that managed to win 10 German Touring Car Championships. This successful cooperation turned into a partnership under the name AMG, which was famous for its success in modifying and upgrading Mercedes-Benz cars, and then became a major branch concerned with high-performance cars in the German company Mercedes-Benz.
The first major achievement was in 1971 during the 24 Hours of Endurance Race in Spa, Belgium. A massive heavyweight Mercedes, powered by an AMG-sponsored engine, was able to win its class and take second place overall, among the lightweight racing cars. Soon the name AMG spread to the whole world.
The two engineers continued to develop engines and the company expanded from small to medium. One of the most famous engines we remember today is the 5-liter V8 that was supplied to the E-Class and was known as the “Hammer”. Then, in the late 1980s, Daimler-Benz and AMG became official racing partners, and the best fruit of this partnership was the success story of the famous 190 in DTM racing with 50 wins in six years.
Following the continuous successes and the widespread demand for AMG services with powerful engines, Mercedes-Benz has acquired all AMG shares in order to be able to use its capabilities in the service of the demand. Since the first day of 2005, AMG has become an integral part of Mercedes and cars from the Mercedes range have started to join the elite sports cars that have become part of the rich history of this company.
Currently, there are about 1,500 Mercedes-AMG plant workers, who work with their expertise, professionalism, precision and efficiency to ensure high performance, exciting driving and the best quality to Mercedes vehicles that receive this treatment. The range of cars has become very wide and can cater to a wider range of sports car enthusiasts. The engines range from 367 hp to 630 hp and the models vary in nature between coupe, roadster, sedan and hatchback as well as SUV, all faithful to the same passion for refined speed and exciting driving.
I know, you are waiting for me to remind you of it and the powerful engines you use, especially after being lost due to the new name Mercedes, which no longer means engine capacity as usual. if:
