Find out exactly what we mean before you see your favorite new Mercedes-AMG®® models in person.
What Does AMG® Mean on a Mercedes-Benz?
If you see the AMG® badge on one of our vehicles, you can expect it to deliver unparalleled performance on the roads of Westport and Norwalk. Eager to learn more about what AMG® means on a Mercedes-Benz? Let’s dig into the details:
- AMG® models often feature engines that have been hand-built from start to finish. For this reason, they are revered for their precision, capability, and reliability.
- Many AMG® vehicles also feature a domed hood that makes room for an internal hood duct. This allows the engine to take in more air for combustion and cool down more effectively with its AMG® Front Apron.
- Many AMG® models are built with AIRPANEL® technology that makes them more aerodynamic. In many cases, a rear spoiler helps to improve traction and keep each vehicle planted firmly on the track. Staggered-width wheels provide additional support.
- On the inside, you’re likely to encounter AMG®-exclusive accents, including AMG® Silver Chrome trim, motorsports-inspired aluminum shift paddles, and performance seats with extra support and memory.
