New name for my E55...
Anyone remember the AMG Hammer? I think its the father of all AMG sedans. Wasn't it based on the E class? Anyway, everyone is calling their car the beast. I'm going to start calling mine the Hammer.

C 32 AMG (203.065)
The only car that had a name so far was my old BMW.
The C32 doesnt have a name, but is more like a part of familiy. Everytime he does a nice thing (like kill an M3 hehe) I compliment him like it was my son lol.. okay, I'm nuts.. i know!

That is what hte pic above might be. The amg hammer is not the car shown in that pic. THe amg hammer was indeed based on the eclass chassis at the time.
The amg hammer, if i remember correclty was a 5.6 L in a 300E body. Sick!

I found this...
1986: The Mercedes-Benz 300 E 5.6 AMG with eight-cylinder engine boasting 5.6-l displacement, four-valve technology, 265 kW/360 hp, 510 Nm torque and a top speed of 300 km/h. The first time that sports-car performance had been combined with the day-to-day qualities of a Mercedes. American fans christen the powerful AMG model ”The hammer”.
