The current "AMG" is different from the pre-acquisition days. Their production numbers are higher, although most people don' realize their numbers are roughly what Ferrari generates in street cars annually. So, a certain amount of the exclusivity has vanished. Aufrecht and Melcher have moved on, one running the DTM series and the other in semi-retirement after recently selling his interest in MKB tuning. While the cars still produce gobs of power, especially with the new V-8 debuting later this year, the 155 mph limiters mean that a Porsche Boxster S will pass one on the open road.
