Have you taken a look at the current line up of Mercedes AMG cars? The sheer number of ludicrously fast cars is staggering. BMW has all of FOUR fast cars. The BMW M3, the M5, the M6 and the Z4 M. At last count, Mercedes has about 15-yes, that’s FIFTEEN-for 2008/2009 (not including duplicate models). Mercedes, if I may say so myself… I love whatever it is you’re doing. 2009 models after the jump.
2008 Models:
451hp Mercedes C63 AMG
507hp Mercedes E63 AMG
507hp Mercedes E63 AMG Wagon
518hp Mercedes S63 AMG
604hp Mercedes S65 AMG
503hp Mercedes ML63 AMG
493hp Mercedes G55 AMG
475hp Mercedes CLK63 AMG
475hp Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series
518hp Mercedes CL63 AMG
604hp Mercedes CL65 AMG
617hp Mercedes SLR McLaren (uses an AMG motor)
However I should make it clear that half the reason for such a large number of cars is that the AMG division uses, for the most part, about five separate power plants that are shared between all these cars. A 5.5l V8 (SLK), 5.5l supercharged V8 (G55), 6.2l DOHC V8 (CLS), 6.3l DOHC V8 (C, CL, CLK, SL, S), and a 6.0l SOHC V12 bi-turbo (SL, S, CL).
2009+ Models: most 2008 models will carry over
507hp Mercedes CLS63 AMG
355hp Mercedes SLK55 AMG
518hp Mercedes SL63 AMG
604hp Mercedes SL65 AMG
670hp Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series
550hp Mercedes Gullwing (2010?)
There are reports that the C63 AMG will also be offered as a Black Series model… So go ahead and add another one to the list.
pretty crazy.
