There was a time when the Mercedes brand was serious about performance. The ’80s were a trying time for the brand as more domestic shoppers began to shell out money. AMG is the in-house performance division of Mercedes-Benz. The AMG Hammer is a monster of a sports sedan that you don’t often see. Based on the bulletproof 300SEL 6.3. The Hammer was supercharged and included a revised overhead cam setup. This created a car that was powered off the line, and fun to drive. With a name like the Hammer, you’d expect this car to go down in history.

But drivers actually don’t flock toward the Hammer. Instead, the later AMG models are much more popular choices on the secondary market. Still, if you want a piece of history that’s fun to drive and performs well, the AMG Hammer is worth looking into. This is one unique car that will definitely stand the test of time.
