9. 2006 CLS
While many may not see this car as something great, it actually was. When you want to talk about innovation through body lines you cannot help but to cite this as an industry changer. The CLS was THE car that started the sedan with coupe lines that every automaker has to have now in their lineup.

What do you do as an AMG owner who wants more? You go get the Black Series of cars that Mercedes produces. You don't care about the luxury part. You don't want those frilly gadgets that make life easier. You want power and speed. Say no more.

6. 1934 W25 Silver Arrow
It got its name from the fact that Nurburgring Grand Prix in 1934, cars had a weight limit of 750 kilograms. Well, Mercedes came to race with a car that weighed 751! They went and scraped all the paint off the car to reveal the beautiful paintless body underneath and the car was good to go for the race. They won that day and history will forever remember the Silver Arrow.

5. 1989 SEC AMG Wide Body
This is straight up 1980's style of luxury with a 32 valve 6.0-liter M117, which is the rarest engine AMG has ever built. If you can get your hands on one of these today it really is a sight to behold.

Cosworth is a name associated with everything great, fast, and fun. This one is no exception to that and was designed to originally be a rally car. Unfortunately, it was outdone by newly allowed AWD cars but is still revered by auto enthusiasts globally.

3. 2011 AMG Roadster
Why the roadster over the coupe? You don't have to worry about those iconic Gullwing doors for this one, as entering and exiting the vehicle are normal and easier. Plus, you have a great seat for exhaust note coming out the back.

2. 1954 300 Sl
Speaking of Gullwing doors, here is the car that made those doors what they are today. It wasn't something Mercedes engineers came up with just to be fancy either. The design of the chassis necessitated it because of the way the car was being put together. If it weren't for the Gullwing doors there would be no way for people to enter and exit the vehicle, since normal doors would break the stiffness needed in the chassis.

1. 1930 710 SSK Trossi Roadster
Many will argue about what car is THEIR number 1, but this is mine. Painted in a beautiful piano black and looking as if it drove its way right off a pulp noir comic book page is the Trossi Roadster. It had a supercharged 7.0-liter six that put out 300 horsepower and 507 ft-lbs of torque. Now think back to the time that this made its debut in 1930 and you know that this thing blew minds.
