Mercedes-AMG makes its premiere at Auto China 2004

June 9, 2004, Beijing

Mercedes-Benz finally makes public the most exciting segment of the company, Mercedes-AMG, during the Auto China 2004.

For many years now, the three letters AMG have spelt top-flight engineering and superlative performance. Mercedes-AMG GmbH merged with DaimlerChrysler AG since the beginning of 1999. With its steadily unfolding success of recent years, AMG is also a high-growth, profitable company. For Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard, joint Managing Director with Domingo Piedade, this performance is proof that the company has made the right choices: “The repositioning of Mercedes-AMG GmbH and the integration into DaimlerChrysler AG create the ideal basis for a strong position in all our main markets. Mercedes-AMG GmbH is a highly competent company with sharp reflexes, which can respond extremely quickly to all customer requirements and is now backed up by the global strength of the DaimlerChrysler Group.”

Mercedes-AMG has been involved in the development of new models right from the start - from the drawing up of the specifications book through to full-scale production. This ensures that the sporting ambitions of Mercedes-AMG drivers are taken into account in the design of the basic vehicle and that the customary high Mercedes quality standards are fulfilled at all times.

Customers enjoy the added advantage of being able to order their AMG-Mercedes via the Mercedes-Benz sales organization. Since every AMG Mercedes is a fully-fledged Mercedes-Benz, the full scope of Mercedes-Benz service and warranty applies to all AMG products. All new Mercedes-AMG models also come with the Mercedes-Benz lifelong mobility and corrosion warranty, mobilo-life. The corporate aim of Mercedes-AMG GmbH is to offer customers tailor-made Mercedes-Benz vehicles of the highest quality.

Mercedes-AMG GmbH enjoyed continued success in 2003, unit sales around the world climbed to well over 20,000 vehicles. Currently, the most important markets for AMG vehicles are the USA , Germany , the United Kingdom and Japan , and the premiere of Mercedes-AMG at the show undoubtedly illustrates the company's strong ambitions to China 's market.
