THIS car is fairly new and cost 80,000. I may have the model wrong. Definitely AMG THOUGH

AMG = American Mercedes Group. They used to be an independent after market Mercedes modifer. Some time ago they were purchased by Mercedes and are now part of the company. AMG produces high performance models of the Mercedes line An example of their work would be an SL500 vs an S 55. Changes include engine mods, Aero package and wheels. Hope this helps
 
The "A" and the "G" are the first letters of the last names of the men who started the company in Germany. The "G" is for Gruppe. Hubertus Troska is now the president and a really outstanding car guy. AMG is a subsidary now of DaimlerChrysler, parent of Mercedes-Benz.

I live in Germany- home of the heavy mod Mercedes'. The AMG models are VERY popular here. Still not as cool as the Vettes though.

AMG reminds me of the Saleen cars- but with a typical German understated look. Gills, grills, and mags. No funky spoilers or nice rocket wings.
 
AMGs in past years had, not only AMG initials on the rump, but the word Hammer! Very fast cars, that usually use the larger engines in the smaller cars. Not only do they upgrade the engine's power but always upgrade suspension as well. Probably the premium peformance luxury car in the world!
