The Relationship Between AMG and Mercedes-Benz?

[Doug]

AMG is a company under Mercedes-Benz specializing in modifying high-performance Mercedes-Benz sedans. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, the models it modifies are directly sold by Mercedes-Benz. To distinguish them, its models generally have the AMG suffix added to their model names. Typically, the modified cars have higher performance than the original models. Here is some relevant information about AMG: Initially, AMG focused on modifying and upgrading engines for various car brands. It wasn't until 1978 that it was acquired by Mercedes-Benz and became a subsidiary. Mercedes-Benz cars modified by AMG remain Mercedes-Benz vehicles, primarily utilizing AMG's unique modification methods in terms of appearance and handling to make the cars more sporty, while the original safety and comfort features of Mercedes-Benz are not compromised.
