Just a quote from the above link:

AMG global sales were 24,200 for 2008, an increase of 19 percent over the previous year's 20,300.

As on 2007, AMG had some 700-50 employees. Wikipedia states that AMG has 700 employees. Though I still assume that it may have grown but the number still cannot surpass the or be on the 4 digits.

The Question is: How the hell did 999 employees hand-made 24,200 engine in just an year?

shed 40-50% of the employees off the those 999 coz you do have accounts, admins, design, r & d(which AMG basically is), Sales, marketing, etc. Then leaves, sundays! Public-Holidays, etc...

How in the world they made that many by hand?

[salman_ksa]

Talking about 2008; There were around 20 builders for M113 supercharged & N/A engines. around 80 for M156 (most demanding engine in 2008) and only 45 for M275 and M155K engine. The builders for M275 and M155K called Master Builders. They have levels for them, on ground floor you'll find M113 engine builders. on first floor builders for M156 and on 2nd floor you'll find master builders. Each man builds 2-3 engine per DAY!!. Do the math! Who knows that the cars they sold in 2008 (MY starting from October 2007) may be few of them have engines built in earlier 2007.

Meet the world's fastest boat for the road:

h2Brabus Unleashes 750hp SV12 R/h2

211mph Brabus S-class set for Frankfurt show debut

[salman_ksa]

Keep in mind it's electronically limited to 211. Not a fan of the body kit.

[ToofaneBatameezi]

Good to know that is limited...otherwise you do know how much accidents happen in speed boat racing due to very little aero-dynamics for such a boat(car)..!!

[salman_ksa]

I've seen more of those so called aero-dynamically sports cars ripped apart than these safety cabins!
