With almost 100,000 units delivered in 2016, i.e. over 40 percent growth, and
the biggest strategic model initiative in the company's history, AMG heads
into this anniversary year with record figures under its belt.
Mercedes-AMG expanded significantly in 2016 as a whole and, with growth
of 44.1%, again significantly exceeded the best previous-year figures. With
99,235 vehicles delivered, the success story of Mercedes-Benz’s sports car
and performance brand reached a new level.
Unit sales have thus more than tripled since 2013. This dynamic growth
was made possible by continuous further development of the performance
models, which are in greater demand than ever. Yet the strategic broadening
of the portfolio in recent years has also led to the successful development of
new groups of customers.
Hence, the company’s global success is not solely based on the popular
eight-cylinder models of the 63 series. The compact 45 series models, along
with the wide range of 43 series models, are finding favour with very many
customers while placing AMG’s modern product portfolio on a broad, solid
basis.
The markets with the highest unit sales in the most successful year in the
company’s history were once again the USA, Germany and China.
