Yes 1968.
Obviously, today, the protagonist of the story has been thoroughly remoulded, and what remains unchanged is the performance, quality and safety that AMG is determined to pursue. These AMG business ideas have been passed down from generation to generation, leading this leading enterprise in the modification industry to innovate and make continuous progress. Since AGM established its headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany in 1978, the area of its refitting workshop near Stuttgart has gradually expanded to 40,000 square meters, and the number of employees has also increased to 600, with an annual output of12,000 vehicles. When AMG celebrated its 35th birthday in 2002, a new engine factory, a new exhibition hall and two new technology research and development centers were also completed. There is only one production line in the engine factory, and the workers carefully build super engines engraved with the names of AMG engineers. The output of 100 sets per day naturally declares their preciousness. In the exhibition hall of AMG, you can see at least eight different super Mercedes-Benz models from AMG. Besides displaying and selling new cars, the exhibition hall of AMG often has the function of holding high-end conferences and exhibitions.

In addition, AMG also provides various modification kits, including front bumper and fog lamp, rear bumper, side skirt, rear spoiler, aluminum alloy wheels of various shapes, shock absorber and rear exhaust pipe. Every AMG engine has an engineer's signature. AMG mainly focuses on the high-performance modification based on the original car, such as appropriately increasing the cylinder volume, increasing the engine power through a high-performance turbocharger, and replacing it with a forged piston connecting rod (usually cars are cast) and a high-performance EFI device. Appearance modification generally requires careful observation, such as modified spoiler or tail wing and other accessories that change aerodynamics. The size of the hub has not changed much, but it must be advanced. AMG's products fully meet the indicators of the German vehicle management department, because the chassis must be changed when changing the engine. AMG is very good at strengthening the sports performance of the chassis and the safety performance of the whole vehicle. The modified tail gas index has reached the Euro IV standard implemented in Europe in 2005.
