AMG - A legacy which never fails to impress




While no Mercedes-Benz creation fails to impress, some set bold new standards for performance and beauty. Chief among these are the vehicles bearing the title of AMG, a widely-recognized mark of excellence. If you’re looking for the best that Mercedes has to offer, it’s important to consider what sets AMG vehicles apart:

AMG :-



AMG is an acronym for Aufecht, Melcher, and Großaspach(Aufrecht's birth town). , the division of Mercedes-Benz that produces performance vehicles. Named after some of the most important engineers in the company’s history, this division creates vehicles with advanced engines, aerodynamic bodies, and high-speed capabilities. Most of the vehicles it produces are similar to standard Mercedes models, but have higher capabilities.
Whenever Mercedes-Benz launches a new line of vehicles, the AMG team collaborates heavily with its designers. They pay close attention to the standard car’s performance characteristics, and develop a plan to incorporate AMG engines and other technologies. They take into account longitudinal and lateral dynamics, driver comfort, and exterior aesthetics, making sure that enhancing the horsepower does not undermine any of these aspects. They then alter all features that need to be changed to accommodate the new performance characteristics. The engineers pay particular attention to the drivetrain, axles, brakes, dampers, and body, all of which are essential for both safety and efficiency. This ensures that every element of the vehicle works well with all of the others, providing a smooth, consistent ride at even the highest speeds.

AMG significances:-

AMG vehicles have a number of advantages over the traditional versions of each model, including:-
  • Enhanced Engines:- With the exception of 6-cylinder models, all of the engines produced by AMG are handcrafted.      
  • These devices have significantly higher horsepower and torque than the ones used in standard vehicles. A C 63 AMG vehicle, for example, has a brake horsepower of 457 and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in only 4.2 seconds. By contrast, the standard version of this model has only 186 brake horsepower and takes 9.8 seconds to reach 100 kilometers per hour.
  • Improvised Interiors:- Designed to create a sportier aesthetic; AMG vehicles make heavy use of carbon accents. They also have bucket seats and alcantara.
  • Exterior Optimization:- AMG vehicles also have sportier exteriors compared to their standard counterparts, notably in that they feature larger rims.
  • Other Features:- AMG versions have better suspension, enjoy a closer fit between the transmission and the engine, and make more noise than standard versions.
In addition to producing entire vehicles, AMG also offers upgrades that you can install on standard Mercedes cars. Known as body kits, these upgrades contain wheels with different alloys and various other accessories that work on vehicles with traditional engines. While they do not radically change the performance characteristics, body kits do contribute to a sporty, streamlined style.
In short, “Normal” Mercedes vehicles are tuned and upgraded for more power, sportier handling and a more aggressive look and sold as the AMG line.
4 of the best AMG flagships are:-
  1. “43” is a 3-litre V6 biturbido engine, used in cars like C43 and E43.
  2. “45” is a 2-ltr. 4-cylinder biturbido. One of the most power-dense engines in the world. Used in cars like A45, CLA45 and GLA45.
  3. “63” is a 4-ltr. V8 biturbido which is the most famous of all. Used in cars like SL63 and AMG GT.
  4. “65” is a 6-ltr. V12 biturbido used in GT cars like SL65 and also Pagani Huayra.
Mercedes-AMG is also working on “Project One” hyper car which will have a 1.6-ltr. V6 engine with electric motors to produce over 1000 Hp. The engine will redline at 11,000 rpm and is essentially a detuned version of their Formula One engine.
Pagani and Aston Martin Connections:-



AMG provides engines for the Zonda and Huayra cars also. The engines used are variants of the M120- 7,291 cc displacement V12 engine originally used in the 1995 SL73 AMG.
The M120 is the largest displacement naturally aspirated engine provided by AMG and is now exclusively used by Pagani.
On July 25, 2013, Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. and Daimler AG announced moves towards a technical partnership with Mercedes-AMG GmbH. The deal will see Aston Martin access significant Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Mercedes-Benz Cars' resources, allowing the development of bespoke V8 powertrains and the use of certain components of electric/electronic architecture. The technical partnership will support Aston Martin’s launch of a new generation of models and newly developed bespoke V8 powertrains.
Above all:- that music to your ears, when you step on accelerator… that adrenaline rush,…, those goose bumps you get with that exhaust note…  speechless… :D.

Faster than the Fastest production car of the world

Image
One thing about which almost every sports car freak is crazy is their mind-blowing speed. It doesn't matter if you could ever achieve that speed on road or not but you'd always desire to boast those numbers among your friends and groups. So fellas, what do you think? Which car should be the fastest car?  Well, you might be thinking about the  Bugatti Veyron Super-sport or the newly unveiled Chiron. But actually, it's not the case. T hey hold the record of the fastest production car according to the Guinness Book of World Records officially but the “ Hennessey Venom GT ” by Hennessey Performance Engineering is unofficially the fastest car at a whopping speed of “270.49 MPH”. Yeah you read it right. It's 435.11 km/h. To make a claim for Guinness Record for fastest production car the company has to at least make 30 cars, while the company has decided to make only 29 cars which is a bit funny. And this company does not make the whole car, they just tune the engine and...

Muscle Cars - The raw and untamed beasts

Image
Almost every youth on the planet loves speed, obviously after the “Fast & Furious” and “Need for Speed” movies. But when it comes to defining the Muscle car, the things get a bit complicated. As the name suggests, the built up of this automobile is taken care, not only from within but also from the exterior parts. As per American norms, a muscle car can be defined as a two door; rear wheel drive, mid-size cars with powerful engines. These cars are considered as high-performance vehicles compared to other normal ones. Comparison between a muscle car and a sports car:- ·         Engine :- A muscle car uses a V8 engine while an engine of a sports car may be small but is quick. Thus the engine of muscle car is powerful while the same of sports car is quick ·         Bodies :- The muscle cars are made up with lots of curves while a sports car is built with an aim of reducing the force that is appl...

Hydrogen Fuel - The Fuel of the Future

Image
                                                                               As we often hear in our day to day lives, the availability of fuels is decreasing day by day and the biggest concern in automobile is pollution due to these fuels, so the new idea and search comes for zero pollution as well as the better availability, renewability and efficiency too. Although, many researches are going on for the alternate fuels but one of the most promising fuel source is Hydrogen which can produce an abundant amount of energy and that too with zero emissions. Hydrogen may seem to be very abundant but pure hydrogen is not naturally available on earth in large quantity. So, electrolysis and steam-methane reforming processes are methods to produce hydrogen. In electrolysis, the electri...
