AMG can either mean a car that has AMG parts, a car that was produced by Mercedes-AMG GmbH, or that the owner of the Merc wishes to associate their car with Mercedes-AMG.
As answered previously, Mercedes-AMG is the performance arm of Mercedes-Benz located in Affalterbach, Germany. They produce, amongst other things:
- Performance versions of Mercedes line series vehicles
