AMG is now owned by Mercedes.  They have become a motorsport division
of Mercedes (sort of like the M division of BMW).  There are "AMG"
editions of various Mercedes models which are the high performance
versions, sold through Mercedes dealers.  Also, AMG now handles
Mercedes' racing efforts, such as the FIA GT1, Le Mans etc.  The
invincible CLK-GTR and CLK-LM race cars are from AMG.
