The Driving Empire Mercedes-AMG Roster and Why It Matters
The Driving Empire Mercedes-AMG list has quietly grown into one of the most important collections in Voldex's 200+ vehicle simulator, because AMG cars span every gameplay layer — drag launch, street circuit cornering, and the limited-time Build-A-Car events that drop parts across the map. Players chasing the meta care about Mercedes because the brand consistently delivers high-tier drivetrains that sit just below the headline hypercars while remaining affordable enough to actually own after a few hours of racing.
A complete Driving Empire Mercedes-AMG list also matters because AMG trims are how the simulator translates real-world sub-brands into tiered in-game performance. A base C-Class feels nothing like a GT Black Series, and the game reflects that gap in price, top speed, and grip rating. If you are building a garage that scales from daily driver to drag monster, the AMG catalog is the bridge between economy rides and the Bugatti/Chiron ceiling. According to the official Driving Empire Roblox page, the simulator is a licensed driving simulation with 200+ real-world vehicles across drag, street circuit, ATV off-road, and boating modes, which is why the AMG tiers blend seamlessly into the broader competitive ladder.
This guide catalogs every Mercedes-AMG model currently tracked in community data, ranks them against McLaren, Bugatti, and Chevrolet Corvette rivals, and shows how the NASCAR Toyota Camry fits into the same endgame conversation. You will also learn how the Betty Beater NASCAR from the Bad Guys 2 event slots into the larger performance tier picture.
The Full Driving Empire Mercedes-AMG Lineup
The community-tracked Driving Empire Mercedes-AMG list currently contains eleven models, ranging from a 280 HP C 63 S to a 720 HP AMG GT Black Series. Prices in the table below are based on community-reported in-game dealership values and may shift after seasonal updates; the Driving Empire codes roundup sometimes bundles cash drops that change how fast you can afford these cars.
| Mercedes-AMG Model | Horsepower | Drivetrain | Approx. Price (Cash) | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C 63 S | 280 | RWD | 145,000 | Mid |
| E 63 S | 315 | AWD | 220,000 | Mid-High |
| CLA 45 S | 285 | AWD | 160,000 | Mid |
| GLA 45 S | 290 | AWD | 170,000 | Mid |
| GLB 35 | 225 | AWD | 135,000 | Entry |
| GLC 63 S | 320 | AWD | 240,000 | Mid-High |
| GLE 63 S | 340 | AWD | 270,000 | High |
| GLS 63 | 360 | AWD | 310,000 | High |
| AMG GT | 390 | RWD | 360,000 | High |
| AMG GT R | 430 | RWD | 420,000 | High |
| AMG GT Black Series | 720 | RWD | 780,000 | Top |
How the AMG Tiers Map to Driving Empire Gameplay
The Entry and Mid AMGs (GLB 35, C 63 S, CLA 45 S, GLA 45 S) are the gateway tier: cheap enough to unlock within a single play session, but with grip and top speed that are perfectly tuned for street circuit and drag beginners. Players running these cars in drag strips still post competitive 0-60 times because the lighter curb weight keeps launch acceleration sharp, even when the horsepower figure looks modest next to a 720 HP Black Series.
The Mid-High and High tier (E 63 S, GLC 63 S, GLE 63 S, GLS 63, AMG GT, AMG GT R) is where AMG starts competing with European exotics. The E 63 S in particular is a favorite for street circuit because the AWD system lets you trail-brake into corners without snapping oversteer, while the AMG GT R rewards experienced players who know how to manage RWD throttle on corner exit. The Top tier holds only the AMG GT Black Series, which trades daily-driver practicality for a 720 HP engine that is, in community testing, within striking distance of McLaren and Bugatti hypercars in straight-line speed.
Where AMG Sits in the Broader Performance Ladder
To place the AMG roster in context, the table below compares the top AMG against other headline vehicles from the simulator. The horsepower numbers come from in-game stat sheets reported by community testers; drag times are quarter-mile estimates from player logs on the open beta branch.
| Vehicle | Horsepower | Drivetrain | Approx. Top Speed (mph) | Performance Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series | 720 | RWD | 215 | Top |
| McLaren 720S | 710 | RWD | 212 | Top |
| McLaren P1 | 720 | AWD | 210 | Top |
| Bugatti Chiron | 720 | AWD | 218 | Top |
| Chevrolet Corvette C8 | 490 | RWD | 194 | High |
| Chevrolet Corvette Z06 | 650 | RWD | 200 | High-Top |
| NASCAR Toyota Camry | 580 | RWD | 195 | High |
The Driving Empire Mercedes-AMG list therefore sits in a competitive cluster: AMG GT Black Series is roughly equal to the McLaren 720S and P1 in straight-line power, but trails the Bugatti Chiron in top speed and AWD launch grip. For players interested in the broader hypercar race, the upcoming cars leak guide tracks every rumored addition that could shift the top tier.
Mercedes-AMG vs. McLaren, Bugatti, and Chevrolet Corvette Stats
The Driving Empire Bugatti stats paint a different picture. The Chiron's 720 HP is similar in raw output to the Black Series and the McLaren P1, but the Chiron is the only car in the comparison with verified 218 mph top speed and AWD launch, which is why it remains the king of straight-line drag racing. According to community data, the Chiron dominates quarter-mile leaderboards when paired with the right tire and transmission tuning, because no other car in the simulator can put 720 HP through all four wheels without significant wheel spin. Bugatti's premium pricing — around 1,200,000 in-game cash — locks it behind AMG in terms of accessibility, but the Chiron's drag times keep it permanently on the leaderboard.
The Driving Empire Chevrolet Corvette stats reveal a different kind of value play. The C8 produces 490 HP and the Z06 pushes 650 HP, both well under the 720 HP of the top tier, but the Corvette pricing is dramatically lower: roughly 220,000 cash for the C8 and 360,000 for the Z06. That gap makes the Corvette the best mid-tier stepping stone for players who want drag-capable power without saving 800,000+ for an AMG GT Black Series. In community tier lists, the Corvette Z06 sits in the High-Top band — one step below Mercedes-AMG Black Series but ahead of most High-tier AMGs.
The Driving Empire NASCAR Toyota Camry rounds out the comparison with a different performance profile. The Camry's 580 HP is paired with RWD and a top speed around 195 mph, which makes it a strong circuit car but a mediocre drag car compared to AWD hypercars. What the Camry lacks in raw power it makes up for in event-locked availability: it is the only NASCAR Toyota in the standard dealership, and the NASCAR collaboration event typically hands out paint jobs, decals, and tuning tokens that other cars cannot match. For the deeper collaboration context, the 2026 new features guide tracks how the NASCAR partnership has expanded since launch.
Drag, Street Circuit, and Off-Road Suitability
| Vehicle | Drag Strip | Street Circuit | Off-Road/ATV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series | Excellent | Excellent | Poor |
| McLaren 720S | Excellent | Very Good | Poor |
| Bugatti Chiron | Best | Good | Poor |
| Chevrolet Corvette Z06 | Very Good | Very Good | Poor |
| NASCAR Toyota Camry | Good | Excellent | Poor |
The pattern is clear: the Chiron dominates drag, the Camry and Black Series tie on circuit, and no car in this comparison has any meaningful off-road or ATV utility. Players running the Brunswick Big Splash boating update (which added Boston Whaler, Bayliner, and Heyday boats per the official update notes) should remember that AMG cars do not translate to water racing — the new buoyancy physics only applies to licensed Brunswick hulls.
The Bad Guys 2 Betty Beater and How It Changes the AMG Meta
The Driving Empire Bad Guys 2 Betty Beater is a NASCAR stock car that drops from the BADGUYS2 code during the Bad Guys 2 movie tie-in collaboration. Unlike the standard NASCAR Toyota Camry, the Betty Beater is a heavily modified stock car with a stripped interior, welded roll cage, and exaggerated bodywork that signals its limited-event origins. The code itself is reported on the Driving Empire codes roundup and is entered through the gear icon in settings, which is the same path that the SPOOKY, NASCAR100M, and MARCH2026 codes use.
Performance-wise, the Betty Beater is widely classified by community testers as a top-tier drag car despite its NASCAR appearance. The car is a 580 HP RWD vehicle similar to the Camry, but with a stripped curb weight that improves 0-60 launch and a reinforced chassis that improves corner stability. The downside is the same as every NASCAR: no AWD, no off-road viability, and a top speed that is lower than the AMG GT Black Series. What makes the Betty Beater noteworthy is that it is event-locked and hard to obtain outside the Bad Guys 2 window, so its real value is as a collector's piece that still performs on par with cars three times its rarity.
The Bad Guys 2 collaboration also introduced themed decals, neon underglow, and a Hollywood backlot drag strip that ties into the movie's aesthetic. According to community reports, the Betty Beater's parts list overlaps with the NASCAR Toyota Camry in roughly 80% of components, so players who already own the Camry can transfer most tuning setups to the Beater without starting from scratch. This makes the Betty Beater an attractive upgrade for players who already run NASCAR in competitive queues.
Why the Betty Beater Matters for AMG Owners
The AMG GT Black Series and the Betty Beater are not direct competitors in the simulator's tier list, because they were built for slightly different events. The AMG GT Black Series is the universal choice — it performs on every track type and every race mode. The Betty Beater is a specialist car that rewards players who specifically want to win Bad Guys 2 collab events and themed drag lobbies. For a balanced garage, the recommended progression is AMG GT R (mid-late game) → Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (transition) → AMG GT Black Series (endgame), with the Betty Beater parked alongside as a collectible and a tie-in event specialist.
Strategies for Building a Mercedes-Focused Garage
A Mercedes-focused garage works best when you progress through the AMG tiers in roughly the order they were released into the game. The GLB 35 is the cheapest AMG and should be your first Mercedes — it costs around 135,000 cash and can be earned within a few races. The CLA 45 S or C 63 S comes next, at 145,000-160,000, and offers noticeably better grip on street circuits. From there, the GLC 63 S and E 63 S form the natural bridge into the high tier because both add AWD, which dramatically improves drag launch consistency.
The mid-to-high AMGs (GLE 63 S, GLS 63, AMG GT) are where you start competing with McLaren 570S and Chevrolet Corvette C8 owners. The AMG GT R is the last meaningful upgrade before the Black Series, and players who max out the GT R's transmission and tire tuning can sometimes beat stock Black Series builds in drag events, which is why the GT R has a loyal community following. The AMG GT Black Series is the endgame Mercedes and the only AMG with verified top-tier 720 HP output.
Tuning and Event-Specific Builds
| Build Focus | Recommended AMG | Key Tuning | Event Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner Drag | GLB 35 | Lower suspension, drag tires | Entry drag lobbies |
| Street Circuit | C 63 S / CLA 45 S | Sport tires, stiffer sway bar | Street circuit |
| Mid-Tier Drag | E 63 S | Drag tires, reinforced transmission | Daily drag |
| High-Tier Circuit | AMG GT R | Racing slicks, lowered ride height | Competitive circuit |
| Endgame Drag | AMG GT Black Series | Drag tires, race transmission, reinforced clutch | Top-tier drag |
Each build can be assembled with cash alone, but parts for higher tiers are easier to grind during Build-A-Car events such as the Porsche 911 Turbo 50th Anniversary. These events scatter limited-time parts across the map, and AMG players should stockpile them whenever the next Build-A-Car drops. The seasonal update guide covers when the next Build-A-Car window is expected to open.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The most common mistake AMG buyers make is upgrading to the AMG GT Black Series before they have the transmission and tire parts to support it. A stock Black Series is fast, but a tuned AMG GT R will beat a stock Black Series in most events. Another frequent error is assuming the GLS 63 (the largest SUV) is the best drag AMG — it is not, because the curb weight offsets the AWD advantage. Finally, players who already own the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 sometimes skip straight to the Black Series; this is fine for endgame, but the Z06 is a far better mid-game car than the GLE 63 S, so prioritize the Corvette during the mid tier and add the Black Series once your garage has stabilized.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Mercedes-AMG cars are in Driving Empire?
The community-tracked Driving Empire Mercedes-AMG list currently contains eleven models, ranging from the 225 HP GLB 35 entry SUV to the 720 HP AMG GT Black Series top-tier sports car. Voldex adds new AMG trims during seasonal updates, so the count may grow after each major patch.
What is the best Mercedes-AMG for drag racing?
The AMG GT Black Series is the best Mercedes drag car because its 720 HP and RWD layout reward perfect launch timing on the quarter-mile. For mid-game players, the E 63 S offers AWD launches that are easier to master and remain competitive in daily drag lobbies.
Is the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series faster than the Bugatti Chiron?
The Black Series matches the Chiron in raw horsepower (720 HP) but trails in top speed (215 mph vs 218 mph) and AWD launch grip. The Chiron remains the drag king, while the Black Series is the better all-around pick for players who also race street circuits and event lobbies.
How do I unlock the Betty Beater from Bad Guys 2?
Enter the BADGUYS2 code through the gear icon in settings, which grants the Betty Beater NASCAR stock car as a redeemable reward. The code is part of the Bad Guys 2 movie tie-in collaboration and is event-locked, so it may expire after the collaboration window closes.
Should I buy a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 or save for an AMG GT Black Series?
Buy the Z06 first if your garage budget is under 500,000 in-game cash, because the Z06 is the best mid-tier step before hypercars. The Black Series is worth saving for once you have 800,000+ cash and the transmission/tire parts to tune it, otherwise the AMG GT R is a strong placeholder.
