But if you wanted a savagely quick four-door sedan, AMG had a little something it called &amp;quot;The Hammer.&amp;quot; It was a simple formula: Take a Mercedes-Benz 300E and sandwich a 385 hp 6.0-liter 32-valve V-8 between its fenders. Upgrade the suspension, make adjustments to the standard four-speed automatic transmission, add a body kit and meatier Pirelli tires, but leave the brakes alone. It turned out to be a successful formula, too\u2014the Hammer could hit 60 mph in just five seconds and complete the quarter mile in just 13.5 seconds at 107 mph in 1987. The Hammer retained its refinement despite its commitment to high performance. The only interior modifications were optional electric RECARO seats and a sportier steering wheel.
