Mercedes-AMGs are known for big, brutish power that loves to go sideways. But what’s power without control? To highlight the difference in how various AMG powertrains maintain—or lose—control, Mercedes-AMG offers a winter driving academy dubbed the AMG Winter Sporting event. Chief...

The Mercedes-AMG G63 6x6 is an absolute monster of a machine. You start with a regular G-Class, which is already a tough off-road-oriented beast with three differentials. Then, you add more power, more off-road ability, and an entire third axle. With the G63, you're unleashing a 544 horsepower...

The Mercedes-AMG Project One was potentially one of the most hyped supercars of 2017. The brand didn't disappoint when the car was revealed at the 2017 Frankfurt motor show with an electrified 1.6-liter turbocharged V-6 and a split turbo that helped give it more than 1,000 horsepower. We've drooled...

AMG is well-known as the in-house tuner for Mercedes-Benz. However, it wasn't always that way. Until 1999 AMG used to do its tuning work for any automaker willing to pay. We bet you didn't know that once upon a time the Japanese automaker Mitsubishi was willing to pay for some German tuning. Thus...

For those who love all things Affalterbach, the holy grail is Mercedes-Benz vehicle that's been given the Black Series treatment. The engineers at AMG rarely roll out such special machines, but they make a large, loud splash when they do. Just five models have been given the Black Series goods, and...

Depreciation is the ninth wonder of the world. (Compound interest is the eighth, in case you're wondering.) When it comes to picking out some of the finest automobiles, their high asking prices may not always lead to sky-high residual values. In this case of this 2006 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, it sold...

After three years, Mercedes-AMG is letting MV Agusta ride off into the sunset with a new partner. Mercedes-Benz's performance division has officially sold its stake in the Italian motorcycle company. MV Agusta announced Mercedes-AMG's 25 percent stake in the company has been bought by ComSar...

Contrary to a welter of reports circulating around the automotive universe, Daimler is not looking to take its current partnership with Aston Martin to a full buyout. Various sources on the web have made much of some rather vague statements from Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche, attempting to read...

Future Aston Martins will have AMG engines, but not AMG badges.

Burnouts are simple, and even kind of stupid, but they're something everyone with engine oil in their veins can appreciate, from the tuner crowd to the rural drag strip, from F1 to NASCAR. They're part of what we do. But burnouts are fleeting, ephemeral episodes; experiences, not objects. Until...

AMG has gone from independent tuner to in-house performance division.

Join the CLA45 AMG and its Euro-twin, the A45 AMG, on track at one of Europe's best new circuits, Bilster Berg Drive Resort.

There’s been a major executive shuffle at Mercedes-Benz following the resignation announcement of the automaker’s veteran sales chief, Joachim Schmidt. Ola Källenius, who currently heads the AMG performance division, will replace Schmidt. That leaves an opening at AMG. Filling that...

What does the 2014 update to the S63 AMG hold in store?

A fortnight ago, we told you Michael Schumacher would soon be donning his racing suit again and hopping behind the wheel of his former Mercedes AMG Formula One car to tackle the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The stunt is being done as part of Mercedes’ celebration of the Nürburgring 24...

The Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG will make its official, in-the-flesh debut at this year’s New York Auto Show, but the car is also being teased in a new video game called Driveclub, set to launch for the new Sony PS4 later this year. Driveclub is a new racing game developed specifically for the...

Construction workers working to the left, Ferrari dealer to the right. Real, actual bustle. Barcelona does not act like the rest of Spain, which is probably why it has two cell phones and is maybe "going out with the girls" on Friday night. Just a few hours earlier, we'd been wedged in the fab...

Having recently stepped down from Formula One racing, Michael Schumacher is reportedly set to play a role in the development of road cars for his former employer. Schumacher was replaced at the Mercedes AMG F1 team late last year by Lewis Hamilton, but according to comments from team principal Ross...

Mercedes-Benz is introducing for the 2014 model year a new, more powerful version of its C63 AMG dubbed the “Edition 507.” As its name suggests, the car comes packing a 507-horsepower version of the regular C63 AMG’s 6.2-liter V-8, which, for those at home wondering, is 56...

Mercedes-Benz’s updated E63 AMG has made its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show and these are the first live images of the new brute. Looking every bit as menacing as its numbers would suggest, the new E63 AMG is now officially the fastest four-door in production. This is made possible due...
