Nyuma ya Volvo yavutse Citroën, twibutse inkuru y'abana ba AMG batemewe. Nkuko mubizi, AMG yavutse nkumutoza wigenga wa Mercedes-Benz - twakoresheje kandi amateka yintangiriro ya AMG.
Mu 1990 gusa, kandi nyuma yimyaka itari mike bakundana, nibwo ubukwe hagati ya AMG na Mercedes bwarangiye, birangirana no kugura umurwa mukuru wa AMG na Daimler, bityo dushinga itsinda tuzi uyu munsi: Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
Ariko, uzi uko gukundana kwurubyiruko ari… AMG ntishobora kunanira ubwiza bwubuyapani kandi igaha umubano "icyuma" mbere yo gusezerana.
Ubwiza bw'Abayapani bwari Mitsubishi. Ibyo urebye bikenewe cyane kuri salo zikomeye kumasoko, bitewe nubwiyongere bukabije bwubukungu Ubuyapani bwabonye mu myaka ya za 1980, bwasabye AMG gutegura ibyitegererezo byayo bibiri. Debonair iteye ubwoba na Galant impuhwe. Igisubizo nicyo ushobora kubona mumashusho.
Kubyerekeye Debonair «isanduku» dufite amakuru make. Turabizi ko yari hejuru yurwego rwabayapani kandi ko yari ifite moteri ya cm 3000 V6, ikora 167 hp. Ikinyabiziga cyagejejwe ku ruziga rw'imbere kandi gifite ibiro 1620. Byatewe nuburemere bwose, no kuba ari moderi yimbere yimbere, AMG ntiyigeze ikora kuri moteri.
AMG rero yakoze bike birenze kuguriza Debonair bimwe muri siporo yayo. Igisubizo nicyo ushobora kubona kumafoto. Agasanduku karimo chassis kavuga:
Reba njye ndi AMG!
Undi muhungu utemewe na AMG hamwe na Mitsubishi, yari Galant AMG, wavutse mu 1989. Muri ubu buryo, umurimo w'ikirango cy'Ubudage ntiwari mwiza gusa. Kubwamahirwe, Galant "yegereye" hafi ya se, kandi ibisubizo byari bishimishije cyane.
AMG yafashe Galant GSR ayitera hamwe na bimwe mubumenyi-byuburambe, byongera imbaraga za moteri ya 2.0l DOHC 4-silinderi kuva 138 hp kugeza kuri 168 hp yingufu. Resept nicyo twari dusanzwe tuzi mubindi byitegererezo: amashusho mashya, piston yoroshye, indangagaciro za titanium n'amasoko, umunaniro mwinshi kandi unoze neza.
Gearbox yihuta eshanu yabonye ibyuma byayo bigufi kandi umutambiko wimbere wakiriye kwifungisha. Feri nuguhagarika ntibyibagiranye kandi byahinduwe nibice bishoboye kugirango ibintu bigenzurwe.
Imbere, ibintu byose byaboneka muricyo gihe byakoreshejwe. Radiyo ifite CD na cassette ikinisha, kuri mudasobwa iri mu ndege, guhumeka neza, guhisha uruhu no kwerekeza kuri AMG impande zose.
Iyi mibanire na Mitsubishi yenda niyo yatumye Mercedes ikanguka agaciro AMG nkikimenyetso cyari gifite. Kandi muri 1990, birashoboka ko yabitewe nishyari, Mercedes yashakaga rwose gusenya ubukwe twavugaga kare.
Uyu munsi gutwara imwe muri izi ebyiri za Mitsubishi bigomba kuba ibintu bitesha umutwe. Aho ugiye hose, ugomba kumva umunwa nka "reba uriya musetsa, atekereza ko afite Mercedes". Ariko tuzi ko atari ko bimeze. Ni abana gusa batemewe na AMG, na "barumunawe" Mercedes-AMG idashaka gufata.
