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. Brabus is an independent Mercedes tuning house specialising in top-model upgrades. The factory calibration on Mercedes petrol engines is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1. Mid-generation petrol models use standard OBD flash.
AMG engines confidently reach Stage 2 with a downpipe + intake. Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. Brabus is a premium alternative to AMG for the top models. AMG Performance Studio is Mercedes's in-house tuning studio for bespoke projects. Bench reading is a mandatory procedure for modern AMG models. Top AMG engines sit at the Mercedes power ceiling, and the gain is significant.
