As an AMG fan since a kid in the 80’s to now an AMG owner, I was impressed by this non conventional presentation. It had all the tricks to keep short attention span types in check, while delivering an accurate timeline. Well done guys 👍 it’s also nice to see people in the comment section who have learned something about AMG, even if as simple as what the letters “AMG” stand for.
I love the AMG Smart. The sad thing about AMGs is that they are so much on the edge, you basically have to change motor oil (and filters the whole shit) every 6 months, and all the other oils like differential oil and gear oil need to get changed more often than regular cars, too. They need way more extra love and maintenance than regular cars. A bit like a race car. Forgetting an oil change can end an AMG motor. People who buy these used AMG sleepers, treat them like a normal stationwagon destroying the car in under a year of time...
This is by far one of your best videos. Your research about this company is of the highest quality. I am glad to be a subscriber. Thank you to you and your team.
ricky v I agree I SERIOUSLY enjoyed this video! Great job donut media for providing content that is unlike most automotive Channels! I love learning this stuff!!!
i'm actually a ferrari fanboy but it was actually really interesting learning the history behind the amg brand, didn't realize they were always handbuilt and started in a home garage
I shot the e55 burnout video on there. there is a really good video on my channel of my friends e63 AMG shredding tires too. he upgraded to the e63 and its even better !
I honestly had no knowledge of AMG, I always ignorantly thought it was just Mercedes' "M" series, this was an incredibly informative video. Thanks guys.
KiCcAsS IdiOT your username says a lot about you😂😂😂. Anyway, the crash happened in the '99 Le Mans where mercs were running the CLR GT1s not CLK GTRs. A bit of research helps a lot.
funny but the song you hear when they show rammstein, isn't actually rammstein. It's this one industrial band with the guy and the funny glasses. forgot the name
Absolutely loved this episode. Up To Speed is the highlight of my week, always look forward to see it when I’m done at work. Keep up the great work Donut crew & I’d love to see an episode on the Jaguar F-Type 👌🏻
When I was about 14 or 15 my dad and I went to a local dealership to look at a car. It was something he had been wanting for a while. I knew a decent bit about cars at this point, but nothing about AMG. The car my dad went to look at was a 2003 CLK55 AMG Coupe. To me it just looked like a regular Mercedes with nicer wheels and such. He started it up, and it came to life with a howl which slightly startled me. He and I then went for a test drive on an old country road and there was a straightaway. My dad floored it at about 45 mph and I was slammed into the seat and held with incredible force as the car lurched forward with ferocity. That was my first experience in a fast car, and I loved it. After that I became a huge fan of AMG, although to this day I haven't owned one. Perhaps in the future, but I have at least had the privilege of owning 2 Corvettes and a Charger. If I could pick any AMG though, it would be an SL65 AMG Black Series.
Kelly Dunois it was sold to some guy who managed to fix the thing. No fuckin clue how he did because there was serious frame damage in the front. It was for sale a few weeks ago.
Nice side story about 300 SEL 6.8 Red Pig, after the race they sold the car to French aerospace company (I think it was Matra) where they used it as test carriage for aircraft landing gear, they hacked the back session and trashed the car. As you guess it the car was scrapped and presumably lost forever. AMG did eventually make a replica of it few years back.
The Fastest Mercedes Benz Ever Made 1. Mercedes Benz CLK GTR AMG 400+KM/H 2. Mercedes Benz MC LAREN SLR AMG 340+KM/H 3. Mercedes Benz SLS AMG 310+KM/H 4. Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG 310+KM/H 5. Mercedes Benz GT-R AMG 300+KM/H
I shot the burnout video on there. there is a really good video on my channel of my friends e63 AMG shredding tires too. he upgraded to the e63 and its even better !
one of my favourite experiences in my life was going to the Mercedes Benz factory in Stuttgart. My godparents parents had worked there a long time ago, and used that to get us on a 'special' tour. The whole area is spectacular, and watching the cars get made was amazing. The place is so big that they have their own hospital and fire department
Fist time watching this channel and I bro you are having. I saw AMG and clicked so fast but if I had a teacher like u in school I would be the next Einstein
This video gave me goosebumps loved it!! I Had the privilege to work for a private own Mercedes-Benz franchise I was flown around the nation for MB technical training earned Mercedes-Benz master technician title, anyways the Mercedes-Benz car culture is beautiful amazing I can’t even explain is so much more than luxury vehicles!!! Mercedes-Benz The Pioneers The originators . There is simply no driving experience like a Mercedes-Benz AMG. Once you go AMG you buy another one. MB AMG forever.
Missed the W201, Baby Hammer of 1989-1991. 190E+ 3.2, a 2.5L bored and destroked inline 6, 231-271hp, depending on who you might beileve. aka EVo II. Well done covering the Cosworth "pre-AMG" variants.
In The case of Aufrecht and Melcher, you pronounce the „ch“ more like the English „sh“ only a tiny bit softer. There’s no true grammar rule for wether you pronounce the German „ch“ hard or soft, so it’s a forgivable mistake
This is the best and complete history of any car in the all trajectory of donuts media. Thanks to put mercedes benz on the top like always the best car ever . Cheers from Paraguay😎😎😎
And BRABUS is like "this AMG is not AMG enough"
shashank Reddy Or maybe something like this:
AMG: We make badass Mercs!
BRABUS: Aww that's cute.
AMG are now the performance division of Mercedes Benz.
BRABUS however, remains independent as it has been fron day 1.
AMG is great in engines. Bra-Bus are great in interior and exterior as well.
AMG great with engines.
Brabus? They crank the shit up to 14!

Actually AMG stands für Affalterbacher (German town) Motoren (engine) Gesellschaft (Company)
No the video is right, look it up

Hmm, i think it's tied with Hoonigan. Both are equally awesome in their own ways.

He and I then went for a test drive on an old country road and there was a straightaway. My dad floored it at about 45 mph and I was slammed into the seat and held with incredible force as the car lurched forward with ferocity.
That was my first experience in a fast car, and I loved it. After that I became a huge fan of AMG, although to this day I haven't owned one.
Perhaps in the future, but I have at least had the privilege of owning 2 Corvettes and a Charger. If I could pick any AMG though, it would be an SL65 AMG Black Series.
Video moment 8:15 - 8:35 is why I keep coming back for more content...
Sad thing is that's also how he changes the radio & pumps gas.
Beep beep beep beep!
AMG is badass. My dad had an S55 AMG and that was a 500 hp rocket sleeper. Too bad it was totaled by a drunk guy when it was parked.
Andrew Mayer is it fixable ?
Kelly Dunois it was sold to some guy who managed to fix the thing. No fuckin clue how he did because there was serious frame damage in the front. It was for sale a few weeks ago.
Andrew Mayer its a Mercedes so it shouldnt be difficult to find spare parts , are you guys from europe as well ?

The Fastest Mercedes Benz Ever Made
1. Mercedes Benz CLK GTR AMG 400+KM/H
2. Mercedes Benz MC LAREN SLR AMG 340+KM/H
3. Mercedes Benz SLS AMG 310+KM/H
4. Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG 310+KM/H
5. Mercedes Benz GT-R AMG 300+KM/H
The McLaren SLR isn't branded as an AMG. It shares AMG's parts bin, but officially it's a Mercedes-McLaren effort.
Um its about acceleration not top speed
Whoever edited this deserves a raise. Made me laugh so many times
Any chance doing a episode on Quattro?
good one...i was just thinking I'd like to see one on the Audi RS series...particularly RS4 for me lol
