Mercedes has opened a new performance studio for its AMG division where it will develop its widest range of performance vehicles to date. In addition to production AMG vehicles — such as the CLS 63 or E 63 — the automaker is planning new vehicles in three distinct categories, according to Edmunds. A range-topping “Signature Series” will include models like the CLK DTM — the fastest car to ever made by AMG. A successor to that car is already said to be in the works. The next segment is the “Black Series,” which will include track-ready cars like the recently-introduced special edition 400-horsepower SLK 55. Lastly, the “Edition” series will include customized AMG production vehicles with exterior and interior enhancements to help differentiate them. An existing example would include the CLS55 AMG IWC Ingénieur.
