Not exactly true, my SL500 R231 AMG sport is quicker than some true AMGs, eg the SLC43 or the S63 of the same age and faster than most older AMGs or the 4x4 variants.Hi,
I wouldn’t worry too much, that is a nice looking car and if you like it even better.
As said above it has the AMG body kit etc but not the engine.
How can you tell, well if you put your foot down in yours, your passenger may comment on how it picks up nicely and how good it goes, if it where an AMG your passenger would grip the seat and swear loudly as it took off down the road.
Enjoy yours and maybe get an AMG, after all you are already caught up in the Mercedes Benz ownership clan.

Externally some AMG trim models can look very similar too, engine plaque, rear badge and dials are the best indicator although all these can be changed after market, the V5 is the best way of telling especially if main stealers are now telling lies to the public!
