AMG Celebrates 35 Years With Awesome Display Of Power

Published: 30th October 2002

Mercedes Benz New E 55 AMG Saloon

The 2002 British International Motor Show is playing host to the most impressive display of Mercedes-Benz power yet seen in the UK. Four cars, with over 1800 hp between them, make up the display.

1800 hp on show in just four cars

From barn to 'bahn - 35 years of AMG manufacturing and racing

Family tree - AMG from the sixties through to today

Absolute power without corrupting - responsibility with every car

On-track success continues in DTM

There are two UK debuts - for the CLK 55 AMG Coupé and E 55 AMG Saloon. Also on show is the stunning SL 55 AMG Roadster - which is used by the FIA as the official Formula One World Championship Safety Car. Completing the quartet is an example of AMG's latest on-track products - a CLK-DTM German Touring Car, driven by ex-Formula One superstar Jean Alesi.

AMG's success in the UK is undoubted. Back in 1995 - the first full year of official models (the C 36 AMG), 161 units were registered. This year well over 1,000 new AMGs will take to the road - an increase of more than 700 per cent in seven years.
