As part of its evolving course for consumer racing cars, Mercedes-AMG® has launched a separate company for its sports and race cars. Affalterbach Racing GmbH is a new division that helps develop cars and tech for the brand’s track-ready vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz of Silver Spring experts explain how this new Mercedes-AMG® branch will affect consumer cars.
What Is Affalterbach Racing GmbH?
Affalterbach Racing GmbH is a new Germany-based division of Mercedes-AMG® that focuses on racing and sports cars for consumers. This is a perfectly sensible move, given that racing is an inextricable part of the Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG® bloodlines. This new company will shape the manufacturer’s racing future, reinforcing an already strong position on the track and helping influence Mercedes-Benz vehicles designed for the streets.
What Will It Work On?
This new company will focus on consumer-ready race cars while the core Mercedes-AMG® team continues its focus on motorsports. It is currently working on a new Mercedes-AMG® GT3 race car based on the Mercedes-AMG® GT sports car line. Mercedes-Benz has a long history in the racing scene, appearing in Formula One events for decades; this company will help innovate for future races.
Why Does This Matter?
While most drivers won’t need this kind of performance, they will still benefit from the work done at Affalterbach Racing GmbH. The designs and features that this Mercedes-AMG® division creates will find their way to consumer models, enhancing coupes, cabriolets, sedans, and SUVs. So, if you want a racecar-like feel from your model, this team will help you accomplish just that.
