AMG stands for Aufrecht, Melcher, and Großaspach. This identifies the two engineers who founded the performance division (Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher) and Aufrecht’s hometown, Großaspach, in Germany. The name has been used since AMG began independently developing racing engines in the 1960s and later becoming Mercedes-Benz’s high-performance division. If you’d like, I can summarize how AMG evolved from a motorsport-engine workshop into Mercedes- Benz’s performance brand and what the AMG badge signifies on modern models.
