From its beginning in 1967, AMG has had one vision: To engineer, design and develop high performance engines. Almost 40 years later, an AMG badge on the back of your Mercedes declares instant status. Though known for their go-fast capabilities, AMG engineers also modify the stock suspension, brakes, transmission, and exhaust, and caps off every masterpiece with a slick set of unique wheels. To ensure exclusivity, each AMG vehicle is fitted with a signature plaque signed by the master technician that built the engine. When all is said and done, AMG-massaged cars are among the most powerful road legal cars to cruise today’s streets and highways.

The AMG upgrade isn’t cheap and is reserved for those with deep pockets, a penchant for power and a desire for dominance. From the 362-horsepower motor in the C55 to the asphalt-pounding 604-horsepower engine found in the SL65, AMG models are serious performance machines and have rightly earned the respect of enthusiasts all around the world.
