What does amg mean in Mercedes Benz?

AMG stands for Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach and is the high-performance division of the German luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz. It was founded in 1967 by two former employees of Mercedes-Benz, Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, in the town of Großaspach, Germany. Originally, AMG was an independent company specializing in modifying and upgrading Mercedes-Benz vehicles. But in 1999, Mercedes-Benz acquired AMG and made it a wholly-owned subsidiary. Today, AMG is responsible for developing and producing high-performance versions of Mercedes-Benz cars. These vehicles are known for their enhanced engines, improved aerodynamics, upgraded suspensions, and distinctive design elements. AMG models typically carry the "AMG" badge and come in various trim levels, such as AMG Line, AMG Sport, and AMG GT.
