Mercedes AMG Performance

The AMG division from Mercedes Benz, started about 50 years ago, during the 1960’s, with 2 engineers working at the Daimler-Benz who started to optimized Mercedes Benz engines and cars for racing and performance.  

The AMG name comes from A as in Aufrecht, M as in Melcher and G as in Grossaspach. Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher were working together in Grossaspach, Germany with the goal to produce the best performance Mercedes Benz automobiles. They spent their spare time further improving the performance for Mercedes Benz engines and became experts in optimizing the performance of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In 1971 their optimized AMG Mercedes 300 SEL 6.8 became the winner in its class and second place overall, at the 24 hours racing in Spa.  The success and advanced performance continues until the present time as the Mercedes AMG line has developed like a skyrocket from a two-man operation into a global brand inside the Mercedes Benz Family.
