Founded in 1967 by two former engineers, Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher in the German city of Grosspach (hence the AMG)
I believe thats what AMG means

I think kompressor means that the engine is supercharged.

I have no idea what the zx means, although I don't think it does have a meaning.

AMG indeed stands for Aufrecht, Melcher, Grossapach.
kompressor means the engine is supercharged..
S200 you say? i think you meant C200/E200
