1986-1992 The Golden Years of AMG: The release of the AMG Hammer sedan in 1986, based on the W124 E-Class, took AMG's performance modifications for a fast midsized sedan to a new level. AMG made the world's fastest passenger sedan at the time, nicknamed the Hammer,7 by squeezing Mercedes 5.6-litre V8 tuned by AMG to 360 hp into a midsized sedan.
Estimate: €90,000–€120,000 ($102,000–$136,000) If you want proof that Germans can produce muscle cars too, look no further than the 560SEC AMG 6.0. It has the basic formula: full-size coupe, large displacement V-8, and a sinister exterior. What AMG did was take the standard 560SEC luxury coupe and give it a healthy shot of steroids.
Significantly, this Hammer features an AMG-modified 6.0-liter DOHC 32-valve M117 V8 engine that increased engine output to approximately 385 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque. The car originally came fitted with a 3.0L inline-six which was then swapped for a 5.5L from a 560SEC of the era.
Amongst AMG’s pre-merger hierarchy, the 300 CE 6.0 AMG ‘Hammer’ is considered by many to be one of the most desirable models. Mercedes-Benz clients looking for an all-out performance alternative to an otherwise mundane automobile could take their W124 to AMG and replace its factory six-cylinder engine with a fire-breathing V-8.
