AMG comes from the last names of its founding fathers Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher. The G is from Aufrecht’s birthplace, Großaspach.
Perhaps the most noteworthy, the first vehicle associated with AMG started as a four-door sedan. This car was known as the “Red Pig” racing car. The vehicle had a 6.8-liter engine which produced 428 horsepower and 448 pound-feet of torque. It had a heavy frame but won second place which helped it secure its place in motorsport success.
In the AMG lineup, there have only been five special models that have sported the distinctive AMG Black Series badging. This series is the AMG’s most extroverted, track-focused and exclusive, limited production models. The models 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. This year there will be a new addition to the family with the GT Black Series.
