AMG is the high performance division of Mercedes-Benz. Formed 35 years ago, the company made its first official Mercedes-Benz road car, the C 36 AMG, in 1994.
Since then, the AMG range has been expanded to give customers an exclusive, high performance derivative of every Mercedes-Benz saloon, estate, coupé and roadster range. Each car gives drivers exceptional performance, impeccable road holding and superb build quality. This high quality engineering means AMG owners will be able to enjoy the performance of their cars for years to come.
As well as building high performance road and race cars, AMG also manufactures
sporting accessories. 2001 marked the tenth anniversary of AMG aftermarket
wheels and styling accessories being introduced in the UK. Available on
all Mercedes-Benz cars, AMG styling adds eye-catching style whatever model
a customer chooses.
