About Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG
To compete with the newly introduced six-cylinder BMW M3, the C-Class was given its very first performance-oriented variant, the C 36 AMG, in the year 1995. It was developed in collaboration with AMG, a tuning house that had recently become a subsidiary of Daimler-Benz. It featured racing-tuned suspension that was lowered by 25 millimeters (one inch), as well as a four-speed automatic gearbox in the United States, followed by a standard five-speed automatic gearbox. At 5750 revolutions per minute, the 3.6-liter engine produced 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp), and it generated 385 Nm (284 lb-ft) of torque at 4000 revolutions per minute. Later on, AMG came clean and admitted that because the engine was hand-assembled, power outputs could slightly range between 276 horsepower (206 kW) and 287 horsepower (214 kW). 5.8 seconds are needed for the C36 AMG to reach 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour) from a stop, and its top speed was electronically limited to 155 miles per hour (155 mph). The maximum speed ever attained was 272 kilometers per hour (169 mph). [source: missing citation] Only 5200 C36 AMGs in total were ever produced by the company.
Late in the year 1997, for the 1998 model year, AMG introduced a new flagship for the C-Class called the C 43 AMG. This model was powered by a 4.3-liter V8 and was capable of achieving 310 PS (228 kW; 306 hp) at 5850 rpm, along with 410 Nm (302 lbft) of torque at 3250 rpm. In contrast to the C36, which was in fact a “ready-to-sell” C280 that had been disassembled for tuning at the AMG factory, the C43 was the first AMG car to be completely assembled at the Mercedes factory after Daimler-Benz purchased AMG in 1998. This was the case because the C43 was the first AMG car to be produced after AMG was acquired by Daimler-Benz.
Today, the AMG brand is so inextricably linked to Mercedes-Benz that it is more likely for you to come across a car that does not have any AMG branding than it is to come across one that does.
AMG is now such an integral part of the local Mercedes-Benz ecosystem, from floormats to mobile apps, that the company decided to make the AMG-Line body styling package a standard fitment on the new C-Class. This decision was made because almost all customers of the previous generation of car wanted the package. However, things weren’t always like this.
In 1967, the engineering firm known as Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach Ingenieurbüro, Konstruktion and Versuch zur Entwicklung von Rennmotoren was established with the purpose of testing and developing engines for use in motorsport. Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, the company’s founding partners, had found success in tuning the 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine from the Mercedes-Benz 300SE. In 1971, they entered the 24 Hours of Spa in a Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3, which had its 184-kilowatt M100 V8 modified to 6.8-liters and produced 315-kilowatts of power.
