Data show that the history of Mercedes-Benz AMG began in 1967, when two Germans, Aufrecht and Melcher, engaged in modification in the small town of Grosaspach, and AMG came from the initials of the three names. In January 1999, AMG was acquired by Daimler Group, and AMG has since become a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler Group-Mercedes AMG Co., Ltd.

As a high-performance sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG has launched a number of classic models in the research and development of high-performance cars, including C 36 AMG, E 50 AMG, C 43 AMG and various versions of the "55" series of Mercedes-Benz since 1997. Among them, C 36 AMG is the first car born in cooperation with AMG in 1993. C 36 AMG is equipped with 3.6L engine and the maximum power is 280hp. In 1996, the C 36 AMG became the official safety car of Formula one Grand Prix. In terms of sales volume, the monthly sales of Mercedes-Benz AMG series is only about 100 vehicles in China, and the annual sales volume hovers around 1000 units. According to statistics, more than half of the annual sales of more than 20, 000 units of Mercedes-Benz AMG are sold to the United States, and the rest are sold in countries such as Europe and Asia, while the Chinese market still has a lot of room for exploration.
