Many people mistakenly believe that the AMG\u00ae in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle stands for \u201cAffalterback Motor Group.\u201d However popular this incorrect belief might be, there is actually a different meaning for these three iconic letters.<\/p>\n

History of the AMG\u00ae in a Mercedes-Benz<\/h3>\n

The AMG\u00ae in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle actually stands for two of the founders; Hans-Werner Aufrect<\/strong>, and Erhard Melcher<\/strong>. The \u201cG\u201d at the end is for Gro\u00dfaspach<\/strong>, which is their birthplace.<\/p>\n

Altogether, the AMG\u00ae stands for \u201cAufrecht Melcher Gro\u00dfaspach.<\/strong>\u201d Which makes a bit more sense than some of the other explanations car shoppers had come up with!<\/p>\n

The AMG\u00ae trims are higher trims in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, and generally have more power, better performance, and more features than a trim that is not AMG\u00ae.<\/p>\n

What Mercedes-Benz vehicles have an AMG\u00ae trim?<\/h3>\n

While the AMG\u00ae engine was much more common to see on racing and performance vehicles, that is no longer the case. Almost all of the modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles have an AMG\u00ae engine option, and therefore there is at least one AMG\u00ae trim on most Mercedes-Benz vehicles, if not more. While there are exceptions such as the new 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class, those vehicles are few and far between. This ability to have an AMG\u00ae engine option in the everyday driving vehicles has only driven the Mercedes-Benz models into further popularity.<\/p>\n

One of the more recognizable vehicles that you may already have heard about is the Mercedes-Benz AMG\u00ae GT<\/a>, which is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a speedy and luxurious vehicle. Other popular Mercedes-Benz vehicles that have an AMG\u00ae trim include the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan and the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV<\/a>.<\/p>\n
