Affalterbach is a small town in the state of Baden-Württemberg, located near Stuttgart. Although it has a few thousand inhabitants, it is famous all over the world because the Mercedes-AMG headquarters is located there.
In Affalterbach are carried out, among other things:
* The design and development of AMG vehicles.
* The artisanal manufacture of many AMG engines under the “One Man, One Engine” philosophy.
* Testing and development of high-performance technologies.
Therefore, when you see the name “Affalterbach” on a Mercedes-AMG or hear someone mention it, it usually refers to the place where these high-performance vehicles are born. For Mercedes-AMG fans, Affalterbach has a similar meaning to what Maranello has for Ferrari or Sant’Agata Bolognese for Lamborghini: it is the home of the high-performance brand. 🇩🇪
