1992 Mercedes-Benz 300 CE 6.0 AMG Hammer c124

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. With 5.0, 5.6, and engine swaps available, the model to have was, of course, the , quad-cam 32-valve V-8. Capable of producing 375 bhp and 400 foot-pounds of torque, the sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h was quoted as being five seconds flat, leading to a top speed of over 300 km/h. Only twelve 300 CEs were fitted with the engine, including the example offered here. This car for sale: #AMG #Hammer #c124 #oldbenz photo: Tom Wood ©2019 Courtesy of RM Sotheby’s
