Starting in 1988, the AMG 300 E 6.0 with a 6-liter V8 engine, along with its coupé and estate counterparts, were all built on the basis of the 124 series. The U.S. trade press christened these extraordinary vehicles "The Hammer," a name enthusiastically embraced by fans. mercedesbenzmuseum #MBclassic #MercedesBenz #thehammer #AMG #W124 #mercedesbenzclassic
