Super-Rare 1988 Mercedes-Benz 6.0 AMG Hammer Coupe Is The First To Be Auctioned In The US | Carscoops carscoops
set the production lap record around the Nurburgring Nordschleife, its forebearers were wholly separate from Mercedes-Benz itself. The AMG brand was a tuning company all its own and perhaps its most notorious creation was the 6.0 Hammer Coupe. Now, one of just 13 examples ever crafted for North America is about to go up for auction.
AMG wasn’t like the vast majority of tuning companies you might think of today, though. Oftentimes when we seeit has little more than just a few new parts here and there and then some sort of ECU tuning to release a little more power. To create the Hammer coupe, AMG started by swapping the original 3.0-liter engine for a 5.5-liter V8 – but they didn’t stop there.
Extensive modifications to that engine took place before it was installed. Not only did AMG blueprint the motor but it bored it out to 6.0-liters, balanced the internals, and then changed it from a single-cam, two-valve-per-cylinder pair of heads to a twin-cam, four-valve setup. That ultimately resulted in 385 hp and 417 lb-ft 564 Nm) of torque.To look at this car you’d think it had just rolled off of the production line too. The engine bay looks so clean that you could dine off of it.
