Mercedes Benz AMG History |
| In
1971, AMG was preparing for its racing debut in the 24-hour
endurance race at Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
The AMG team had prepared a Mercedes 300 SEL 6.9 for the
event…but it was severely damaged during training
just two weeks before race day. Would AMG's racing career
be cut short?
Not at
all! This was actually the beginning of the AMG success
story. The completely demolished car was painstakingly
taken apart and reassembled. The new drivers, Hans Heyer
and Clemens Schickentanz, had barely enough time for
a test drive. But the rest is history: Heyer and Schickentanz
won their class and came in second overall.
The AMG
team has since applied its enthusiasm, experience and
technical know-how to take the pole position time and
time again. From 1986 to 1993, the AMG Mercedes 190E
won 50 races in the German Touring Car Championship.
From 1994 to 1996, motorsport enthusiasts witnessed
32 wins for the AMG C-Class, plus two championship titles
and two driver titles in the DTM and the ITC, one of
the most grueling racing series in the world.
Since
1997, AMG production sports cars have emerged victorious
in the FIA GT Championship, taking the championship
in 1997 and 1998.
A lot
of what Mercedes-Benz and AMG engineers know about high-end
performance comes from their successful involvement
in racing. Innovations and know-how developed and tested
on the racetrack benefit anybody who drives an AMG Mercedes.

Benz AMG Information

The limits
of performance are found in extremes. For Mercedes-Benz,
only the supercharged intensity of the racetrack is
sufficient to test their performance systems. And because
their engines win on the track, you know they'll perform
wonders in the S55 AMG-- even in the most demanding
of conditions.
Buyers
were standing in line for the C43 AMG when it was introduced
two years ago. Based on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan,
the the C43 AMG was a 4.3-liter V8 supersedan. AMG,
the performance house that builds Mercedes' championship-winning
sports racing cars, converts only 500 production cars
per year, so they don't tend to languish in the showrooms.
In fact, they have to order the cars well in advance,
then hope they can get one. Last year, super sedan enthusiasts
were offered a more exclusive waiting line based on
the E-Class sedan.
