auto motor und sport[1] (ISSN 0005-0806), often abbreviated to AMS, is a leading German automobile magazine. It is published fortnightly by Motor Presse Netzwerk subsidiary Motor Presse Stuttgart,[2] a specialist magazine publisher that is 59.9% owned by the publishing house Gruner + Jahr.
Auto, Motor und Sport first appeared in 1946.
Sales peaked in 1991 at an average level of 523,387 copies per issue:[3] during the early years of the twenty first century, they hovered between 470,000 and 480,000, but 2007 saw an increase to 495,683. Approximately 9% of sales are made outside Germany.
Motor Presse Netzwerk also issues a yearly publication called Auto Katalog,[citation needed] usually in August of every year. This highly respected publication is an excellent resource, and is issued in countless other languages as well. The main shortcoming could be somewhat of a nationalist myopia, resulting in a strong focus on models available for sale in Germany to the exclusion of many model variants that are only available elsewhere. Yearly sales figures and an in-depth technical section are also included, to the joy of automotive anoraks the world over.
