50 YEARS OF AMG

摘要

This year marks AMG's 50th anniversary. Former Mercedes- Benz engineers Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher founded the small company in Burgstall, Germany, with a focus on racing engines. (The AMG designation represents their last names, with the G standing for Grossaspach, Aufrecht's birthplace.) Success at the track progressed into developing performance parts for Mercedes road cars. Those of a certain age might recall the vast array of AMG-tuned Mercedes adorned with monochromatic trim and tinted windows gracing episodes of "Miami Vice" in the 1980s.
