Welcome to the world of AMG.
The dreams of people who love performance — this is the focus of everything we do at AMG. To fulfill them
is our duty. To exceed them is our ideal. We are always prepared to go one step further, with superlative
performance and sports cars that challenge the limits of physics. And with thrilling driving experiences
that condense into unforgettable AMG moments. This is the World of Driving Performance: created to
give our all and to extract even more — from every mile, and from every moment.

VEHICLES 7
Engine on. Everyday off.
The acceleration of independence is an art mastered to perfection by every Mercedes-AMG. Whether
it’s a pure sports car or a refined luxury vehicle — be it a sedan, wagon, SUV, coupe or convertible — it
delivers a high-performance driving experience with outstanding comfort and impressive efficiency.
A Mercedes-AMG unites driver, road and automobile to make every day extraordinary. At the same time,
every situation and every detail reveals the origins of the AMG pedigree — the racetracks of the world.

We make history.
With a passion.

FOUNDERS 11
Victory takes technical genius.
And visionary thinking.
With the conviction that they could win, Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher laid the foundations of AMG in 1967. Together, they
optimized engine power and dedicated themselves to their racing customers. They were soon competing against strong, established
racing teams and, in 1971, their lightened and fortified 300 SEL sedan won its class at the legendary 24-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps.
This made the letters A, M and G famous around the world: A — the visionary Aufrecht, who constantly drove the company forward; M — the
technical genius Melcher, who found solutions for even the most complex challenges; and G — Grossaspach, the birthplace of Mr. Aufrecht.
The courage and determination of its founders to take on the impossible and to work hard at it still shape the spirit of AMG to this day.
12
More than 1,300 employees.
One shared spirit.
The heart of AMG — then as now — beats to the rhythm of its founders. And as is proven over and over
in motorsports, the best team wins. This guiding principle is at home in Affalterbach, the German
orchard town where AMG has grown for decades. It is also a breeding ground for truly fascinating
high-performance vehicles — built with high-tech and highly skilled craftsmanship. Using state-of -
the -art production management and pioneering sustainability concepts, our development center
is consistently setting new benchmarks. Our customer center offers the very best in service, the
AMG Private Lounge, and the AMG Performance Studio, where we turn vehicles into one -offs.
All of it, including the AMG spirit, are best appreciated and absorbed with a factory tour.
ORIGINS 13
14
We don’t just develop cars.
We make dreams come true.
The AMG definition of a complete work of art means developing all performance-relevant components for our vehicles by ourselves.
No wonder more than 700 of our employees work in the development department. All of them devote themselves to the aim of
realizing innovations that exceed all standards again and again — and that applies to the entire vehicle. The Mercedes-AMG GT is
already the second sports car to have been developed entirely in-house. And no matter how rich and satisfied its engine may
sound, it is a performance car that’s hungry for first place — on the track, and in the hearts of drivers on the world’s best roads.

What drives us is the
belief in performance.
POWER

18
DRIVE 19
Strength in every measure. That’s the purpose of an AMG engine. Power meets
precision, and the result is classic AMG: dynamic responsiveness, excellent agility
and high-revving thrills, combined with top performance and maximum efficiency.
For instance, the exceptionally powerful handcrafted AMG 4.0-liter V8 biturbo
engine stands out with its low emissions and the lowest fuel consumption in its
segment worldwide.
Another elite athlete is the world’s most powerful 4-cylinder series-production
engine, which in 2015 won the “Engine of the Year Award” in the performance class
from 1.8 to 2.0 liters of displacement — for the second time in succession. At the
very top of the power table are our 12-cylinder engines. They are synonymous with
many superlatives, foremost in sporting luxury, and in a league of their own.
The 4‑cylinder, V8 and V12 engines of the AMG 45, 63 and 65 models combine a
tradition of handcraftsmanship with ever-advancing technological leadership. The
AMG 43 models elevate a state-of- the- art V6 biturbo engine to an even higher
degree of responsiveness — raising power and torque while heightening their visceral
character. An AMG engine is developed not just to perform, but to outperform.
Engines that drive
an entire industry.

ENGINE WORKSHOP 21
One Man — One Engine.
No compromises.
To create perfection and then vouch for it — with one’s skill and one’s name — is a principle
that’s lived and breathed at AMG. Every single engine for a Mercedes‑AMG 45, 63 or 65
model is handcrafted by its own highly trained master engine builder, and in accordance
with the strictest quality standards. Each master technician takes responsibility for his or
her engine from installation of the crankshaft, through assembly of the camshafts, pistons,
injectors and wiring, to the first fill with synthetic motor oil. One Man — One Engine: That is
the core of our quality assurance, sealed by its creator’s signature on the plaque affixed to
the top of each engine. It is the ultimate expression of dedication, passion and character.
22
Every great performance
deserves a great soundtrack.
Can adrenalin actually be heard? This can be answered with three letters — AMG. Anyone who drives
a Mercedes ‑AMG is making an acoustic statement that comes on loud and clear from the moment
the engine is fired up. The powerfully sonorous growl of the exhaust is one of the unmistakable
signatures of every AMG vehicle — although each model has its own individual accent. The entire
sound range unfurls on the road — further nuanced by the choice of drive programs offered by
each model. Every driving situation is enhanced by the right sound character, creating a unique
symphony that’s both created by and cherished by performance enthusiasts.
SOUND 23

PERFECTION
25
We concentrate on
what matters:
every single detail.
26
Driving dynamics calls for
precision and control.
With the mastery of power and the release of passion, a Mercedes-AMG turns sheer force into
superlative driving dynamics. All chassis and drive systems are perfectly tuned to one another.
Together, they form the character of every single model. AMG Performance 4matic® all-wheel
drive continually optimizes traction to balance cornering stability with uncanny agility. AMG
gearboxes ensure the engine output is transferred in the most ideal way possible — according
to the situation, deftly controlled, and undeniably dynamic. The choice of drive programs
offers additional control — from extremely sporty to highly efficient and comfortable — for
optimum power delivery and even greater driving fun in virtually any situation.
The AMG RIDE CONTROL sport suspension analyzes every driving situation and adapts the
damping accordingly. The responsiveness of the sport steering is likewise variable — from
easy effort when parking to direct feedback in sportier driving situations. Confident control
is assured by the AMG® high-performance braking system. And optimized aerodynamics
reduce drag while increasing efficiency and road adherence. The entire spectrum of
AMG engineering serves a singular principle: Driving Performance.

LIGHT WEIGHT DESIGN 29
Efficiency is a serious matter.
To be taken lightly.
AMG lives from top performance — and top performance demands efficiency. Advanced and even exotic lightweight
design solutions play an important role in this, with AMG placing strong emphasis on innovative uses of materials
like aluminum and carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic. The Mercedes-AMG GT sets new benchmarks with its spaceframe
made largely from aluminum, its carbon driveshaft and innovative V8 biturbo engine. Further savings are achieved
via lighter batteries, flow-formed or forged alloy wheels, and weight-optimized high-performance braking systems.
In the end, it’s not just performance and fuel consumption that benefit — but also your lap times on the racetrack.

AMG design.
Energy in its most beautiful form.
Design is the art of expressing technology in an experiential and inspirational manner. The technologies of high
performance often call for modified proportions such as wider axles or bodyshell extensions, and they offer room
for distinctive and extraordinary design. The result is a perfect symbiosis of form and function — the dominant and
unmistakable design language ensures that every AMG makes a clear commitment to performance from the very
first glance. The distinctive grille, dramatic air intakes and deeply sculpted lower bodywork command attention
as effectively as they conduct the airflow. The distinctive sill cladding clearly conveys its motorsport genes, while
the rear valance and four tailpipes leave a lasting impression. The distinctive AMG design ethic continues to the
interior — in both look and feel — proving that extreme performance and exclusive comfort work very well together.

Formula 1:
At home at the top.
Since the 2012 season, the three letters AMG have been synonymous with
high-performance motorsport in Formula 1® — and with huge success. In 2014,
the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team won the FIA Formula One
World Constructors’ Championship, and became the sole recordholder for the
highest number of victories and one–two finishes in a single season. Driver
Lewis Hamilton took the FIA Formula One World Championship, followed close
behind by teammate Nico Rosberg. In 2015, the Silver Arrows once again broke
records on the way to earning both the drivers’ and constructors’ titles: 12
one–two finishes, and 703 World Constructors’ Championship points — more
than the 2nd ‑and 3rd-place teams combined.
FORMULA 1 35
In addition to the Silver Arrow racecars, there is one car that even
our champions follow unconditionally: the official Safety Car that
paces every race of the FIA Formula One World Championship —
currently a Mercedes - AMG GT S driven by Bernd Mayländer.
Mercedes-AMG has been supplying the safety car and the medical
car since 1996 — setting the pace in Formula 1 by every definition.

GERMAN TOURING CAR CHAMPIONSHIP 37
DTM: One team — One mission.
The Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters — or German Touring Car Championship — has been pitting production-based sedans
head-to-head on the racetrack since 1987. In this demanding discipline, where drivers and technicians give their absolute
all, Mercedes-AMG has been advancing “Driving Performance” for decades. With more than 170 victories since 1988 and
nine driver titles, 10 constructor titles, and 12 team titles, Mercedes-AMG is the most successful brand in the DTM. During
this time, racing legends like record champion and current AMG brand ambassador Bernd Schneider have not only made
motorsport history. They’ve also demonstrated that “Driving Performance” becomes reality when an ideal team meets
leading technology. The results flow directly back into the Mercedes-AMG vehicles that conquer the streets of the world.
