The AMG® Experience is an elite, high-performance driver training program designed by Mercedes-Benz to instruct motorists in mastering vehicle dynamics through closed-circuit track sessions, ice drifting, and curated scenic road tours globally under the guidance of professional racing drivers.
This masterclass in automotive performance provides clear, tiered training tracks that systematically build precision behind the wheel of world-class machinery.
True automotive excellence requires a dedicated environment where engineering can genuinely push past ordinary boundaries. Consequently, discerning enthusiasts frequently seek out specialized avenues to maximize their capabilities on the pavement. If you want to drive a high-powered Mercedes, this official factory program provides the ultimate arena. The luxury specialists at Mercedes of Scottsdale recognize that standard roadway commutes across the valley never quite satisfy the hunger for pure velocity. Therefore, this international academy bridges the gap between everyday transit and competitive motorsport, transforming casual luxury owners into highly precise performance motorists.
Adventure seekers can choose from three primary disciplines depending on their personal driving goals. First, the on-track sessions dominate legendary circuits like Sonoma Raceway in California, Road Atlanta in Georgia, and Virginia International VIR. Because these locations feature dramatic elevation changes, participants quickly learn to identify the exact apex of technical corners. Meanwhile, the on-road tours offer breathtaking multi-day journeys through scenery like the Grand Teton region or picturesque European mountain passes. Finally, the winter program routes travelers to Swedish Lapland, where drivers master the art of controlled drifting on perfectly manicured ice circuits.
Gaining total vehicle control requires understanding how advanced driver assistance networks behave under immense stress. During these sessions, instructors teach drivers how to adjust the multi-stage stability systems to match track surface temperatures. If you travel to the frozen lake circuits, you learn how a rear-biased variable all-wheel-drive platform maintains incredible forward momentum through a sideways drift. Because the course structures prioritize active seat-of-the-pants feedback, drivers build permanent muscle memory that carries over to real-world emergency scenarios. This technical knowledge delivers immense confidence behind the wheel, making every future drive significantly safer and more rewarding.
Participants command a diverse, factory-prepared fleet that represents the pinnacle of modern German engineering. For example, drivers can experience the rapid launch capabilities of the sleek Mercedes-AMG® E 63 S or test the nimble wheelbase of the C 63 S on dynamic skid pads. Furthermore, the iconic AMG® GT Coupe offers incredible high-speed stability on long front straights, while the rugged AMG® G 63 explores rocky backcountry trails during specialized off-road excursions. Every single vehicle utilizes advanced communication setups through the interior sound systems, so your professional racing instructor can provide instant, real-time coaching directly during your hot laps.
