Tribute to the Red Pig, I Introduce You to the AMG Heritage Collection

24 Apr 2023

In 1971, an AMG legend marked the first milestone in terms of racing for the iconic Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach engineering firm, AMG. The car was called the Red Pig, or the Red Sow, because of its big eye-catching grille and red paintwork, which was covered with AMG stickers, 35 number stickers, and sponsors yellow stickers. This legendary car was the Mercedes Benz 300 SEL AMG 6.8, a luxury sedan made by Mercedes and tuned by AMG.

Almost 51 years ago, AMG entered their Red Pig in the 24 Hours of Spa, and the car made a class victory by winning the second place. This win made AMG recognizable and the company continued to tune Mercedes cars until the AMG team and the Mercedes team joined their efforts to make Mercedes-AMG cars.

Paying Tribute to the Legend

If I were a true AMG fan, (well, I am), I would definitely get an item of the new AMG Heritage collection. The collection includes a comfortable baseball cap in black and grey made of 100 percent cotton. If you don’t like caps, you can get a yellow-colored leather keychain with an AMG badge in the middle of it for your Mercedes-AMG car. It would made the key fob looks really nice.
