Default What's the baddest AMG creation in your opinion

Hey guys I was just recently reading more on the masters over at AMG. They have created some serious performance Benzs over the years. I remeber the old AMG Hammer back in the day that put them on the map for me back in the day. Today these mad scientists give us twin turbo 6 lite V12 like they are giving kids candy .lol.

My personal favorite would have to be the very powerful new monster from the guys at Grobaspach, the SL65 Black series. This animal goes for $320,000, does 0-60 in 3.9 sec, its 199mph, and will be limited to only 200 units.


PS FYI AMG stands for Aufrecht Melcher Brospaspach. The three names all come from the names of the founder and the location of the company. Hans Werner Aufrecht and Mr Evhar Melcher started this amazing company in Grobaspach Germany.

CLS 63, S63 or CL 63 would probably get my vote.

PS: Just in case, it's a "Hammer".

The W124 was actually the 300 E worked by AMG. They called it the AMG Hammer. It had close to 400hp, did 0-60 in 5 sec, and Road & Track Magazine said , in 1987, that the Hammer was a "4 door that drives like a Testarossa?
