Mercedes-Benz is renowned for luxury, practical nature, and supreme performance. It’s history happens on the cutting-edge of the automotive industry which has always made driving a Mercedes-Benz vehicle as much thrill as it is pleasure. In 1967, two Daimler-Benz engineers broke away from the company to specialize on modifying and tuning Mercedes-Benz vehicles as the independent engineering firm, AMG. Daimler-Benz AG attained controlling interest of AMG in 1990, then became the sole owner in 2005. Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division pushes forward in designing and producing the most innovative luxury performance vehicles in the world. Coupe, sedan, and SUV Mercedes-Benz models bear the AMG distinction of top-of-the-line performance.
Starting with enhanced aerodynamics, AMG models take the already refined Mercedes-Benz model and further enhance its greatness in terms of performance. For example, features such as wheel wells that swell out further, a front fascia with larger air dams, prominent side skirts, or a rear diffusor and power dome bulges on the hood. Utilizing carbon fibre extensively throughout AMG models helps to reduce weight resulting in an improved power-to-weight ratio with superior handling and control.
All AMG engines are built and tuned by a single AMG master engine builder, and subjected to stringent criteria and specifications. Decades of racetrack enthused technology are inside every new Mercedes-Benz AMG model to deliver the ultimate thrill in these luxury vehicles. Thorough and extensive testing ranging from endurance testing, climate testing, to driving condition testing ensures AMG engines are as reliable as they are powerful. AMG transmissions feature adjustable driving programs in which the driver may set select shift points to suit their driving habits with the ultra-responsive gear shifts and top-notch power transfer efficiency.
For unparalleled performance handling and control Mercedes-Benz AMG models feature Electromechanical AMG Sports Parameter Steering. This technology system delivers smooth, minor shifts in steering, making the AMG vehicle in sync to even the slightest input for maximized control. Available AMG Carbon Ceramic brakes with tremendous stopping power in addition to fade-resistant deceleration even when the brakes are being used repetitively over a short period of time.
