I am sure you have seen these cars more than once in your life. Whether they were standing behind them in traffic or walking down the alley, they threw a glimpse at the lid of their trunk. three pointed star, Mercedes principle, How . But each time, your mind picked up one detail that is not so often present on these cars. Three letters, A.M.G. What is it and what do they eat with? Let's try to figure it out.
Probably, there is not a single person living in big cities who would not know that the presence of these three letters means that the car he is in this moment looks is a tuned version of Mercedes-Benz. But how many of you have ever wondered what this abbreviation means and is it an abbreviation at all? In what cases are these badges hung on Mercedes? Do they necessarily have to mean that hundreds of Horse power? And that this car should always cost twice as much as a regular model from Stuttgart?
A.M.G. is a division of the Stuttgart-based automaker. Since 2007, the sub-brand has been completely absorbed by the auto giant, which, on the one hand, allowed it to expand its capabilities in preparing cars, but on the other, significantly reduced its independence in decision-making.
The company was originally created by two former Mercedes engineers who worked in the sports department and took part in the development sports engine 300 SE in 1967. Since then, the AMG nameplate has become synonymous with fast and powerful Mercedes models so adored by the creators of this company. Their names were Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher. Accordingly, the initial letters of their surnames formed the beginning of the abbreviation, "AM", while "G" was added from the name of the city of Grossaspach (Großaspach), which is located near Stuttgart, where the first founder of the company was born.
Answers to three next question can be combined into one. Mercedes attaches AMG nameplates only if the engineers from Affalterbach have done their magic on the car. But the degree of intervention in the factory model can vary significantly. For example, two absolutely identical car in the back of W212 (E-Class fourth generation), may differ in the technical component as heaven and earth.
Under the hood of one you will find a "modest" 4.6-liter V-shaped eight-cylinder engine with 408 hp. with 600 Nm of torque or any other engine from the range (motor in this case tuning can be anything, even 1.8 liter). Another Mercedes with an AMG badge will have a modified unit installed. Accordingly, his performance will be completely different. For example atmospheric engine(M156) E63 AMG power data will correspond to 525 hp. and 630 Nm of torque.
The thing is that in the first case we are dealing with an additional package: AMG Sport.
In the model with the W212 body, the sports package includes:
Appearance
Modified bumpers (rear and front);
Side skirts very similar in design to those fitted to Mercedes-AMG vehicles;
Front apron and diffuser rear bumper made in the style of AMG;
18" alloy wheels with sport low profile tires 245/40 R18 front and 265/35 R18 rear
Interior
Sports seats with improved lateral support and contrasting lateral stitching on the seats and armrests;
upholstery front sports seats made of DINAMICA microfiber and ARTICO artificial leather
Three-spoke sports steering wheel trimmed in Nappa leather with paddle shifters;
Black roof lining;
Sports metal pedals with rubber spikes are made of stainless steel;
The floor will also feature branded floor mats with the AMG logo;
Technical component
understated sports suspension;
perforated brake discs increased diameter;
Calipers with Mercedes-Benz logo.
Additionally, cars with V6 or V8 were equipped with automatic seven-speed 7G-Tronic transmissions.
In the second example, we are talking about a full-fledged (real, if you want) modification of A.M.G.
The fourth generation of the E63 AMG already had a 6.2 liter V8 M156 engine. Power - 525 hp, torque - 630 Nm. The engine was mated to a special AMG-prepared AMG SpeedShift MCT gearbox.
The tuning version was equipped with an AMG Ride Control sports suspension with a modified damping system, which was perfect for both aggressive, dynamic driving and urban conditions.
Also, AMG specialists with new steering rods, a lightweight stabilizer roll stability, new subframe. Ceramic brake discs and wide tires 255/40 R18 at the front and 285/35 R18 at the rear ensure safety at high speeds.
The main external difference is the “6.3 AMG” nameplates.
The efficiency of the car increased significantly, even compared to the most powerful version of the E500 4MATIC of those years, which accelerated to 100 km / h in 5.2 seconds, the sedan pumped in AMG “made” a hundred in 4.5 seconds.
And finally about the cost. Naturally, these two versions of cars differed significantly in cost. A model upgraded by AMG could cost 1.5-2 times more than a modified version with an AMG look.
Mercedes AMG A45 4Matic
Representative entry level AMG is AMG A 45 4Matic. 2.0 liter engine The A45 is turbocharged and has 360 hp. in hatchback body style. 381 strong 2.0 liter engine is available for the restyled version of the car.
A45 is very fast and at the same time affordable car AMG. Acceleration in 4.6 seconds (or 4.2 seconds in the restyled version) really makes this superhatch a real hot thing. It is even capable of overtaking the base version of the Porsche 911.
Cost in Russia:
Dorestyling: 2.550.000 rubles
Restyling: 2.860.000 rubles
Mercedes AMG C 63
Let's go further. Before us is the last replenishment in the regiment real AMG. On the Russian market there are cars in two body versions: sedan and coupe. They, in turn, are divided into two modifications: C 63 AMG and C 63 S AMG.
IN " basic version» C 63 AMG installed 4.0 liter 476 strong engine, accelerating a two-door in exactly 4 seconds, a sedan in 4.1 seconds.
The C 63 S AMG has the same volume, but with more power - 510 hp. With it, the sedan reaches 100 km/h in 4 seconds, the C 63 Coupé does it in 3.9 seconds.

Both tuning versions of the E-Class go out in 4 seconds when sprinting to 100 km / h, reaching the milestone in 3.7 and 3.6 seconds, respectively.
Cost in Russia:
E 63 AMG 4MATIC: 5.790.000 rubles
E 63 AMG S 4MATIC: 6.000.000 rubles
In our country it is possible to buy more whole line models touched by the hands of AMG wizards. We have named the most common and most available options rulers. Also on the market in Russia you can buy: , AMG, AMG, and SL-Class AMG, and SLC-AMG. As you can see, there is a choice.
A few words about the AMG packages...
The above examples concern truly charged options from AMG. Let's give an example and more budget options, which will be affordable for many Mercedes lovers. To show others your taste, you do not need to lay out millions of rubles. It is enough to purchase an AMG package for your car and you will be happy. The option is suitable for calm drivers. Its main advantage is budget.
Almost any Mercedes-Benz vehicle in the lineup can be equipped with the AMG package. We cited the assembly of the AMG package above using the example of the previous generation model. The flexible system of "setting" Mercedes for yourself allows you to create an irresistible without any problems and overpayments. appearance and exclusivity for your favorite car.
AMG, is it worth buying?
I understand that the question sounds very strange. And yet, is it necessary to buy AMG? If there is a sufficient number of banknotes and a desire, of course it is possible, even necessary. Among the competitors from the big German three (,), in our opinion, it is cars with a three-pointed star that can give not only breathtaking dynamism and breathtaking speeds, but also incomparable style and a classic sense of sophistication, familiar only to Mercedes-Benz owners.
Which is better, a used AMG or a new Mercedes with the optional AMG Sport package?
Some will think, maybe get a used AMG variant? We would not advise doing this in times of crisis. If there is not enough money for new AMG better play it safe and buy latest model from the cabin, complemented by an AMG body kit. This way you will avoid the following:
Large operating costs;
High fuel consumption;
Huge tax and insurance;
A used car tends to break down. Can you imagine how much it might cost original spare parts from AMG? That's it!
All of this can be avoided with a regular Mercedes with the AMG package. Service will not cost a big penny, and for 90% of people it will look exactly like a real Mercedes-Benz AMG.
As part of the Geneva International Motor Show 2018, the debut of the German Mercedes-AMG sports car GT 4-Door Coupe (Mercedes-AMG GT 4). So now in model line German company three models of the Mercedes-AMG GT (Mercedes-AMG GT) - a two-seater sports car with closed body Mercedes-AMG GT coupe, Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster soft top convertible and 5-door hatchback officially named Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe.
In our review, the new 2018-2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe - photos and videos, price and equipment, technical specifications of a sports 5-door hatchback, declared by the manufacturer as a 4-door coupe. Sales of the 5-door Mercedes-AMG GT will start in the summer of 2018 at a price of 120-125 thousand euros for a 435-horsepower all-wheel drive Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4Matic+.
If the two-door Mercedes-AMG GT and Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster are drafted into the ranks of Mercedes to compete with the Porsche 911 coupe and Porsche 911 Cabriolet, then the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe will try to knock down the Porsche Panamera model. And take my word for it, the new Mercedes will make it easy.
It should be noted right away that a large 5-door hatchback with a comfortable 4-5-seat interior and luggage compartment, capable of accepting 395-1324 liters depending on the position of the rear seatbacks, is not a platform brother of the AMG GT coupe and roadster models (the original platform with two linkage suspension front and rear wheels, as well as located at rear axle"robot" Getrag (transaxle scheme)).
At the heart of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4 is the modular MRA bogie with two-link front and multi-link rear suspension, as well as automatic transmission located just behind the engine at the front of the vehicle. So the brothers of the novelty are the new generations Mercedes-Benz CLS and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The question immediately arises why Mercedes-Benz needs two car Mercedes-Benz CLS and Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe in the sporty "four-door coupe" niche?
First, machines with different types bodies: CLS - 4-door sedan stylized as a coupe, and GT 4 - 5-door hatchback also stylized as a coupe.
Secondly, the 5-door GT looks more aggressive and brutal than the sedan's platform brother.
Thirdly, the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe will not have modest versions with diesel engines, rear wheel drive and a price tag in the region of 70,000 euros, but only the most powerful gasoline engines, all-wheel drive and a price starting from a mark of at least 120-125 thousand euros.
As confirmation, we invite you to get acquainted with technical specifications new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe 2018-2019, offered from the start of sales in three versions with powerful petrol turbo engines.
Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4Matic + with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (435 hp 520 Nm), supplemented by an EQ Boost system starter-alternator (22 hp 250 Nm), which helps the car during intensive acceleration. Transmission automatic 9-speed (AMG Speedshift TCT 9G), full drive transmission 4Matic + (by default, the drive wheels are rear, and if necessary, the multi-plate clutch connects the front wheels, thus providing the car with all-wheel drive). Such a technical arsenal provides a 5-door curb weight of 1970 kg with acceleration dynamics from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 285 km, declared fuel consumption of 9.1-9.4 liters. Spring suspension, disc brakes on all wheels.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic+ with 4.0-litre V8 Biturbo (585 hp 800 hp) equipped with new dual in-line turbochargers, liquid intercooler and half-cylinder deactivation system. AMG Speedshift MCT 9G transmission with wet clutch instead of a traditional torque converter, of course a proprietary system all-wheel drive 4Matic+ and also air suspension and rear steering wheels in corners with a pair of electric actuators (at speeds up to 100 km / h they turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels, and at higher speeds they turn in the same direction as the front wheels). A car with a curb weight of 2025 kg shoots up to 100 km / h in 3.4 seconds, a maximum speed of 310 km / h, average consumption fuel 11.0-11.2 liters.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4Matic+ with 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo petrol (639 hp 800 Nm), AMG Speedshift MCT 9G automatic transmission, 4Matic+ all-wheel drive system, supplemented by a rear differential with electronic control. The transmission additionally received a drift mode with complete shutdown ESP and front-mounted multi-plate clutch. In drift mode, the 5-door sports car is exclusively rear-wheel drive. Suspension, of course, pneumatic with thrusters rear wheels. Most powerful motor accelerates a car with a curb weight of 2045 kg to the first "hundred" in 3.2 seconds, a maximum speed of 315 km / h, an average fuel consumption of at least 11.2 liters.
As standard equipment for all modifications of the 5-door Mercedes-AMG GT, the AMG Track Pace system is offered to help you choose optimal mode for driving on the race track (Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Race and Individual), supplemented by a belay system with several prescribed levels driving skills(Basic, Advanced, Pro and Master). The higher the level, the less the electronics interfere with driving, tracking and reading as many as 80 parameters.
I would like to note that the new 5-door Mercedes sports car has surpassed all modifications in terms of dynamic and speed characteristics. Porsche Panamera. For example, the 550-horsepower Porsche Panamera Turbo picks up the first “hundred” in 3.6-3.8 seconds and accelerates to a maximum of 306 km / h, and the hybrid and most powerful in the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid line with a 680-horsepower power plant able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.4 seconds and dial top speed at 310 km / h, but ... this is only enough to compete with the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic +, but not with the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4Matic +. It's hard to imagine what a full-fledged Mercedes-AMG GT 4 hybrid with an 800-horsepower power plant will be capable of.
We figured out the technique, and let's get back to the exterior and interior of the chic 5-door hatchback, positioned concern Daimler like a 4 door coupe. The exterior design of the body, as mentioned above in our review, is aggressively brutal, stylish, bright and charismatic, as befits an expensive sports car. Available LED matrix headlights, a powerful body complemented by a mass of aerodynamic chips - splitters, spoilers, active blinds ( rear spoiler adjustable, and for a surcharge even made of carbon), huge wheels - 255/45 R19 on the front axle and 285/40 R19 on the rear axle for the Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4Matic + and Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic + versions and larger 265/40 R20 and 295/35 R20 in the powerful modification of the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4Matic+. If desired, 21-inch forged aluminum wheels with 275/35 R21 tires at the front and 315/30 R21 at the rear can be installed on any version of the 5-door for an extra charge.
The interior of the Mercedes-AMG GT hatchback, at the request of the customer, can be either a 5-seater with a rear sofa designed for three, or a 4-seater with two separate seats for rear passengers. At the same time, all the seats in the cabin are sports with powerful lateral support and anatomical backrest profile. The driver's and front passenger's seats are like racing car class GT3. The design of the front of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is a combination of the front panel from the platform Mercedes-Benz CLS and the tunnel of the two-door Mercedes-AMG GT.
Available analog (for Mercedes-AMG GT 53) or digital panel instruments (Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S versions) with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches, advanced multimedia system with a similar dashboard display size, sports steering wheel with touchpads, background LED lights interior (64 colors to choose from), driver and front passenger seats with electric adjustment, ventilation and heating, rear seats heated and ventilated, three or four zone climate control and ground electronic systems safety, assistants and assistants from the automatic braking system and adaptive cruise control, working with the help of radars to the Drive Pilot complex, capable of independently driving a car on the highway.
In our review, we present the new Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, the full name of the two presented versions of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe 53 and 63, the manufacturer declared the car as a 4-door coupe, but in fact it is a 5-door hatchback. The sports car has many innovations and is based on the platform of the Mercedes E and CLS class models.

Such a machine (weight 2,025 kg) picks up a hundred from a place in 3.4 seconds, and top speed is 310 kilometers per hour. Here, reinforced brakes with fixed calipers and six-piston calipers on the front axle are additionally installed.

If the two-door Mercedes-AMG GT and Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster are drafted into the ranks of Mercedes to compete with, then the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe will try to knock down the arrogance of the model. And take my word for it, the novelty will make it easy.
It should be noted right away that a large 5-door hatchback with a comfortable 4-5-seater saloon and a luggage compartment capable of receiving 395-1324 liters, depending on the position of the rear seat backs, is not a platform brother of the AMG GT coupe and roadster models (the original platform with two lever suspension of the front and rear wheels, as well as the “robot” Getrag located at the rear axle (transaxle scheme)). At the heart of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4 is a modular MRA bogie with two-link front and multi-link rear suspension, as well as an automatic transmission located just behind the engine at the front of the car. So the siblings of the novelty are the new generations and.
The question immediately arises, why does Mercedes-Benz need two Mercedes-Benz CLS and Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe cars in the niche of sports “four-door coupes”?
- First, cars with different body types: CLS - 4-door sedan stylized as a coupe, and GT 4 - 5-door hatchback also stylized as a coupe.
- Secondly, the 5-door GT looks more aggressive and brutal than the sedan's platform brother.
- Thirdly, the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe will not have modest versions with diesel engines, rear-wheel drive and a price tag in the region of 70,000 euros, but only the most powerful gasoline engines, all-wheel drive and a price starting from at least 120-125 thousand euros.
As confirmation, we suggest that you get acquainted with the technical characteristics of the new 2018-2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, offered from the start of sales in three versions with powerful petrol turbo engines.
Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4Matic + with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (435 hp 520 Nm), supplemented by an EQ Boost system starter-alternator (22 hp 250 Nm), which helps the car during intensive acceleration. The gearbox is automatic 9-speed (AMG Speedshift TCT 9G), 4Matic + all-wheel drive transmission (by default, the drive wheels are rear, and if necessary, the multi-plate clutch connects the front wheels, thus providing the car with all-wheel drive). Such a technical arsenal provides a 5-door curb weight of 1970 kg with acceleration dynamics from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 285 km, declared fuel consumption of 9.1-9.4 liters. Spring suspension, disc brakes on all wheels.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic + with 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo (585 hp 800 hp), equipped with new two-line turbochargers, liquid intercooler and half-cylinder deactivation system. AMG Speedshift MCT 9G gearbox with a wet clutch disc instead of a traditional torque converter, of course, the proprietary 4Matic + all-wheel drive system, as well as air suspension and rear steering wheels in corners with a pair of electric actuators (at speeds up to 100 mph they turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels , and at a higher speed turning in the same direction as the front ones). A car with a curb weight of 2025 kg shoots up to 100 km / h in 3.4 seconds, a maximum speed of 310 km / h, an average fuel consumption of 11.0-11.2 liters.
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4Matic + with a 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo petrol (639 hp 800 Nm), AMG Speedshift MCT 9G “automatic”, 4Matic + all-wheel drive system, supplemented by an electronically controlled rear differential. The transmission additionally received a drift mode with full ESP shutdown and a front-mounted multi-plate clutch. In drift mode, the 5-door sports car is exclusively rear-wheel drive. Suspension, of course, pneumatic with thrusters rear wheels. The most powerful engine accelerates a car with a curb weight of 2045 kg to the first "hundred" in 3.2 seconds, a top speed of 315 mph, and an average fuel consumption of at least 11.2 liters.
As standard equipment for all modifications of the 5-door Mercedes-AMG GT, the AMG Track Pace system is offered, which helps to choose the optimal mode for driving on the race track (Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport +, Race and Individual), supplemented by a safety system with several prescribed levels driving skills (Basic, Advanced, Pro and Master). The higher the level, the less the electronics interfere with driving, tracking and reading as many as 80 parameters.
I would like to note that the new 5-door Mercedes sports car has surpassed all modifications of the Porsche Panamera in terms of dynamic and speed characteristics. For example, the 550-horsepower Porsche Panamera Turbo picks up the first “hundred” in 3.6-3.8 seconds and accelerates to a maximum of 306 km / h, and the hybrid and most powerful Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid in the line with a 680-horsepower power plant is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 310 mph, but… that's only enough to compete with the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic+, but not the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4Matic+. It's hard to imagine what a full-fledged Mercedes-AMG GT 4 hybrid with an 800-horsepower power plant will be capable of.
We figured out the technique, and let's return to the exterior and interior of the chic 5-door hatchback, positioned by Daimler as a 4-door coupe. The exterior design of the body, as mentioned above in our review, is aggressively brutal, stylish, bright and charismatic, as befits an expensive sports car. In the presence of LED matrix headlights, a powerful body complemented by a mass of aerodynamic chips - splitters, spoilers, active blinds (adjustable rear spoiler, and for a fee even made of carbon fiber), huge wheels - 255/45 R19 on the front axle and 285/40 R19 on the rear axle for the Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4Matic+ and Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic+ versions and the larger 265/40 R20 and 295/35 R20 for the powerful Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4Matic+ modification. If desired, 21-inch forged aluminum wheels with 275/35 R21 tires at the front and 315/30 R21 at the rear can be installed on any version of the 5-door for an extra charge.
The interior of the Mercedes-AMG GT hatchback, at the request of the customer, can be either a 5-seater with a rear sofa designed for three, or a 4-seater with two separate seats for rear passengers. At the same time, all the seats in the cabin are sports with powerful lateral support and anatomical backrest profile. The driver and front passenger seats are like a GT3 racing car. The design of the front of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is a combination of the front panel from the platform Mercedes-Benz CLS and the tunnel of the two-door Mercedes-AMG GT.
Available analog (for Mercedes-AMG GT 53) or digital instrument panel (Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S versions) with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches, an advanced multimedia system with a similar display size to the dashboard, sports steering wheel with touchpads, background LED interior lighting (64 colors to choose from), driver and front passenger seats with electric adjustments, ventilation and heating, heated and ventilated rear seats, three or four zone climate control and a lot of electronic security systems, assistants and assistants from the automatic braking system and adaptive cruise control, which works with the help of radars, to the Drive Pilot complex, which is capable of independently driving a car on the highway.
