AMG IS THE PERFORMANCE BRANCH FOR MERCEDES BENZ, THIS IN HOUSE TUNNER MAKES THE CARS LOOK MEANER AND FASTER, THEY ALSO ASSEMBLE ALL OF THEIR ENGINES BY HAND AND BY ONE ENGINEER. WHEN YOU PURCHASE AN AMG YOU WILL SEE A PLAQUE ON THE ENGINE WITH THE SIGNATURE OF THE ENGINEER THAT PUTS IT TOGETHER. AMG LOVES TO SUPERCHARGE THE MERCEDES ENGINE BUT RECENTLY THEY STARTED WITH THE TURBOS.
