Like any other tuner company that made it to the commercial scene, AMG (Aufrecht, Melcher, and Großaspach) was initially an independent luxury car tuning outfit. Pre-merger (the 70s and early 80s), they focused on making performance upgrades on Mercedes-Benz models. But the release of the Mercedes-Benz 500 AMG, the so-called Hammer, sent ripples through the automotive scene, earning them a seat on the global stage in the process.

AMG also offered many levels of engine tuning, but was most famous for the DOHC 6.0 litre engine, based on the original 117.968 engine.
