AMG history highlights

Hi all,

Just came across this very informative video. Good history lesson for AMG enthusiasts.

Enjoy.

Learn your heritage!

Thanks vastermind for posting this. A very nice short history lesson on the AMG. Is that the "Red Sled" that the 6.3 pays homage too? Really makes me grateful to be able to have a C63 AMG as one of the last with the 6.2L engine.

Very cool. But let's go ahead and paint that yellow grill black fellas and I wouldn't refer to a car as a "grenade on the track".

Something how they've managed to keep the exhaust note consistent all the way back to the red sled. Might want to stick with that. Just say'n...
