I thought I read in the history of AMG that originally cars were bought and modified, and then later they started to make them on their own line, and then eventually the "modern" cars were built in-line with the rest of the production for that model. Only the engines were hand built in Affalterbach and then trucked over to the main assembly lines around Europe.
So your $80k C63 AMG was built right behind a $22k C200 diesel with cloth seats. With many of the same parts too!

I don't think my previous comment came across the way I meant.
I am not stating that our vehicles were were made or assembled by the Chinese, or any other Country...
What I was getting at.
Parts contain certain things. Electronics utilize rare earth materials, of which China produces 90% of the worlds supply. While many of the parts may be branded Siemens for example, odds are Siemens manufactured the components in China.
Germany does not have the ability to produce each and every component within their vehicles. In fact, no car company does.
Ergo, while our vehicles were assembled at the AMG plant to a point, parts are source from all over the planet.
If every component and part was made in one location, the cost would be astronomical and no one would be able to afford anything..

amg C63s
Updating this old thread. My 2018 AMG C63s says built in Stuttgart. Are there any exceptions to this? I bought my car used so I don't have the original window sticker to tell me what percentage of the parts are German. Can anyone answer this. It not German what are the percentages of global sources?

C63S
I have a 2021 C63S made in South Africa, so C63S are made there as it is on the door plate..still as good quality as the others I have had built in Germany and where MB's South Africa manufacturing plant have received international recognition for the their build standard, so presumably they have German auto engineers working at the plant also to achieve the high quality standard that C63S's are. As South Africa drives on the same left-hand side as the UK and most if not all commonwealth countries, I believe that is the reason that they are also built in South Africa as well as Germany. I am not aware of any other commonwealth country, but they may be who build the 'C' class range.. Maybe others can comment if they know, but according to the comments I did not see any other location out of Germany?.
