Mercedes-AMG®: A Heritage of Performance
It’s impossible to mistake a Mercedes-AMG® car for anything else, thanks to its incredible performance and aggressive style. Backed by advanced design, sophisticated engineering, and painstaking construction that accounts for every last detail, these models exemplify the craftsmanship and performance that define performance. See why the Mercedes-AMG® line remains the industry standard when you test-drive one at Mercedes-Benz of Los Angeles.
Mercedes-AMG® History
Mercedes-AMG® is the in-house tuning division of Mercedes-Benz, staffed by engineers working tirelessly to improve their engines’ power and performance. It was founded in 1967 to curate the best thinking regarding vehicles’ powertrains, performance features, and aerodynamics. Combining decades of performance engineering expertise with fine attention to detail, these engineers create an inspiring drive experience that takes its cues from racecars and sports vehicles.
Built for Power
Depending on which engine you have installed in your new Mercedes-Benz model, you can achieve incredibly high speeds in a flash. For example, the AMG®-tuned 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo engine in the Mercedes-AMG® E 63 S-Class Sedan delivers up to 630 horsepower, while the 6.0-liter V12 Biturbo unit in the Mercedes-AMG® S 65 features up to 738 lb-ft of torque. These impressive specifications deliver blistering acceleration; the 2.0-liter Inline-four Turbo engine rockets the Mercedes-AMG® GLA 45 S SUV to 60 miles per hour from a dead stop in a mere 4.3 seconds.
Engineered for Performance
Of course, corralling that much power relies on significant upgrades to the vehicle’s other systems. Even features found in standard-spec Mercedes-Benz models receive an AMG®-enhanced twist, such as the brand’s respected 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive system, upgraded suspension, heavier-duty braking, and enhanced transmissions.
Designed for Aerodynamic Grace
Another hallmark of Mercedes-AMG® vehicles is an intricate and sophisticated style, which you’ll notice when you visit our Los Angeles, CA, Mercedes-Benz dealership. Added details like a rear spoiler and redefined curves ensure an exceptional drag coefficient. But it’s not just built with looks in mind; the elements making up the frame, body, and powertrain are explicitly designed to work together to reduce weight to the essentials.
