From clandestine workshops in a Grossaspach garage to global dominance in the high-performance luxury market, the rise of AMG is more than just a story of engines; it is an industrial epic.
In this new volume by renowned automotive historian Brian Long, published by Veloce Publishing, the "three-letter brand" is dissected with surgical precision through over fifty years of evolution.
This massive 480-page tome, enriched by more than 660 visuals - many of them rare - goes beyond merely celebrating horsepower. Long charts the journey that transformed two former Mercedes engineers, Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, into pioneers capable of challenging giants.
The reader is guided through early triumphs in DTM and Group C racing, the legendary "Hammer" era, and the pivotal 1993 official partnership with the Three-Pointed Star.
Structured chronologically, the book analyzes every production model from 1993 to 2024, offering technical insights into the legendary engines and tuning techniques that redefined the "sports sedan".
Mercedes-Benz: The AMG Cars is an essential work for collectors and enthusiasts alike - a tribute to AMG’s unique ability to blend Teutonic elegance with a raw, track-bred soul.
