We all know that AMG in our need for bandenrook can supply with many flavours opgepepte Mercedes models. But how is it with the history of the brand from Affalterbach.

Mercedes had to react to the BMW, sporty models built by M GmbH and also tuners supported. Mercedes did not get to all of that silliness, but saw a future in motorsport and the combination straatmodellen. As it goes with this kind of stories but it began somewhere in the basement of one of the founders and is now an independent company that has many models on the market which pumps according to co-founder Hans Werner Aufrecht, incidentally, is not surpassed, but are very differently than the products of Mercedes. Did you know already where the letters AMG stand for? That stand for Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach, to the founders Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, and the place of incorporation.

How it eventually came to is that AMG as large as it is today? Check the mini-docu on AMGjunk.nl!
