Mercedes-Benz is a manufacturer that has become famous all over the world for its reliable, powerful, beautiful and really high-quality cars. And if we talk about this concern, then you can not help but pay attention to AMG. What is this abbreviation and what is hidden behind the three letters?
Story
Back in 1967, in the city of Grossaspash, two engineers created the AMG company, which was supposed to be engaged in the design and testing of racing engines. They did not think about the name for a long time - they just took the first letters of the names of the founders of this bureau and the city. Their first client was a man from Kiel, who arrived on his Mercedes in a bureau that his friends advised him. And the mechanics really were able to squeeze everything out of the engine of his car. The client was so impressed by the quality of the work done that after a couple of hours he returned to AMG and once again thanked the mechanics, which greatly inspired them.
From that moment began the history of the company, which today is known throughout the world. And the next stage in their career growth was the beginning of cooperation with Mercedes-Benz. To date, AMG are cars with a beautiful body kit, with minimal acceleration to “hundreds” (a little more than three seconds), and the engine power indicator goes far beyond 1000 hp. It is not surprising that these cars are respected and in demand by motorists.
Powerful speaker
The high dynamics of the AMG Benz are successfully emphasized by its stylish design, which also combines technical need. Such features include, for example, wide protruding wheel arches. In general, it is worth noting that the technical component radically distinguishes Mercedes AMG from other cars. So, engineers always have an important and difficult task - to integrate powerful equipment into the machine, and also to create a presentable appearance with traditional athletic proportions.
To achieve this goal, the creators adhere to such a principle that the form always follows the dynamics. And in the guise of AMG it shows. For example, powerful air intakes, which are located in the form of the letter “A”, convex spectacular lines on the hood, enlarged wheel arches, wide tires, a distinctly designed threshold sill - all this is AMG. What does this give, why do engineers carefully design every little thing in the car? The fact is that any detail is made in the best traditions of AMG, the result is a real unique sports car that cannot be confused with any other car.
Sport engine - the heart of AMG
I would also like to touch on the topic of AMG engines. What is this part of the car, everyone knows. The motors of these machines are as powerful as possible, characterized by a wide range of speed, low specific gravity and excellent acoustic performance. Also can not but rejoice in specific fuel consumption. The developers themselves place high demands on their inventions, and, it must be said, this is bearing fruit. It is due to the engines that Mercedes AMG cars are extremely maneuverable, distinguished by excellent traction and quickly accelerate to “hundreds”. Do not hide that AMG motors are powerful units, in the development of which expensive technical solutions were taken, taken from racing sports. It was AMG who developed the new 5.5-cylinder V8 eight-cylinder V8 engine, which hit everyone in 2010.
Bright representative of the series
Perhaps the Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 65 is a car that can become the face of the entire series. Indeed, this is the most powerful representative of this lineup. The car looks luxurious, develops incredible speed in seconds and provides the driver with complete safety on the road. What is the first thing that catches your eye? Perhaps the exterior. It is worth highlighting a sports exhaust system with double tailpipes coated with chrome, the latest nameplates V12 BITURBO, a double lamella grille. And this is just a small list of features of this luxurious model.
Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 65 has a roof spoiler, perfectly polished alloy wheels, LED running lights and even “gills” (both on the body wings and on the hood). One thing can be said about the interior: this is the real embodiment of sophistication. Noble materials were used in the decoration, because inside the Mercedes it looks as luxurious as the outside. Not a gram of vulgarity and excess - all in the best traditions of a German manufacturer.
Maximum power
In the end, I would like to say a few words about the most powerful and expensive electric car AMG. What kind of car is it, how does it look, what are its technical characteristics? This is SLS Electric Drive. Its price is about 538 thousand dollars. To “hundreds” this monster accelerates in a little less than four seconds, and its maximum speed is 155 miles per hour! Despite the fact that four electronic engines are charged from a lithium-ion battery, they give a very solid power - 740 hp. To fully “gain strength”, the car needs 20 hours, but quick charge of 22 kW is sold with the machine - it reduces this process to three hours. The car really impresses with its technical characteristics. So far, no manufacturer in the world has been able to achieve such results, only Mercedes-Benz has achieved such success. That is why AMG today occupy first places in the ratings of the best, high-quality and popular cars.
