AMG is the performance division of Mercedes (since 1967), building engines on the 'one man, one engine' principle in Affalterbach. Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. Maybach is Mercedes's ultra-luxury sub-brand. AMG E-Performance is a range of hybrid AMG models with an F1-derived electric system. The F1 heritage in AMG hybrid powertrains (Project ONE) comes with a locked electronic architecture. Full-EV Mercedes keep the inverter and BMS locked, so traditional chip tuning does not apply.
On modern Mercedes, the encryption requires specialised Bench tools. The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. The Mercedes premium segment is a high-output platform with Stage 2 potential. High-output Mercedes engines are premium-class with solid headroom for Stage 1. On modern high-output Mercedes, Bench reading is often required because of the encryption.
