On this edition of Road Gang Radio, Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler sit down with automotive journalist and author Matt DeLorenzo to discuss his new book, MERCEDES-AMG: RACE-BRED PERFORMANCE. DeLorenzo traces the history of Mercedes-Benz’s high-performance arm, AMG, from its founding by Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher in 1967 to the creation of iconic racers and street-legal performance cars like the Red Pig, AMG Hammer, C63, and AMG ONE.

Matt shares behind-the-scenes insights, rare photos, and stories of prototypes, special editions, and motorsport milestones. The discussion is perfect for car enthusiasts, AMG owners, and anyone fascinated by the evolution of German engineering at its most extreme.
