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 Series models further enhance performance models by modifying their powertrain, chassis, and aerodynamics to optimize track performance and dynamic capabilities. And they look incredible.
