AMG (automobile)
- See also AMG division of Mercedes-Benz
The AMG was a Swedish automobile manufactured by the AB Motorfabriken i Göteborg between 1903 and 1905. The company had been building stationary engines since 1897; in the first years of the new century they began importing French Richard-Brasier cars. Swedish production of the marque was considered, but the plans failed. A new model, using twin-cylinder air-cooled engines bought from the German Fafnir company, was shown in 1903. These tended to overheat, and as a result they were soon changed to a water-cooling model. The engines were the only automobile part that were imported; everything else was made in Sweden. Around 10 cars were built before the company failed in 1905.
