Cool Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Mercedes-AMG
Wanna Be Starting Something
The first jointly developed high-performance vehicle from AMG and Mercedes-Benz was the C36 AMG. The C36 AMG was also the first AMG product to be officially sold in the United States at Mercedes-Benz dealerships, starting in 1995. By 1998, the partnership between AMG and Mercedes-Benz solidified further when Daimler acquired a majority stake of AMG, setting the stage for a variety of high-performance Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicles.
Black Diamond
For those wanting the pinnacle AMG performance, few models can match the exclusivity and track-optimized performance of the rare AMG Black Series models. As AMG’s most extroverted, most track-focused, and most exclusive, the Black Series limited production models are stunners.
Black Series models further enhance performance models by modifying their powertrain, chassis, and aerodynamics to optimize track performance and dynamic capabilities. And they look incredible.
Thus far, only five special models have worn the distinctive AMG Black Series badge. These include the CLK 63 Black Series, the C 63 Black Series, the SL 65 Black Series, the SLS Black Series, and the SLK 55 Black Series (sadly, not offered in America). However, the exclusive Black Series family will grow soon with the addition of the forthcoming GT Black Series, set to make its debut later this year.
