Mercedes-Benz Working On G65 AMG V-12 SUV?
File this one in the unsubstantiated rumor bin for now, but reports out Europe indicate Mercedes-Benz is working on a twin-turbo V-12 version of the G-Class for a special 200-unit limited run as the sun sets on the platform. If it is built--and that's doubtful--it would potentially mean a...

As we all know, the open-top SLS AMG Roadster is the second car to be developed independently by AMG. In fact, the original SLS AMG and new Roadster were created in parallel, with engineers focusing particularly on bodyshell...

Spy Shots: 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series
The mere mention of the words Black Series will either get your blood pumping or instill the fear within you, the latter being the case typically if you’re a BMW M or Audi RS owner. This is because the Black Series title is only applied to a very select series of models, all of which can best...

Video: Getting Sideways In The AMG Gelaendewagen
Built for cross-country duty in a terrifically, angularly Tuetonic way, the G-Class, and its sportiest variant, the G55 AMG, is no exactly the first vehicle you'd think of when you think "drift." And this wet roundabout isn't exactly the forum for real drifting, but the quantity of opposite lock...

Last week we first heard that AMG and Italian motorbike manufacturer Ducati were forming a partnership, initially surrounding the cooperation over common marketing activities, but with any such deal there is always the potential for the relationship to develop further. While such a possibility may be several years away--at the earliest--there's no doubt that executives are examining it.
