BADASS, just BADASS.

The SL73 AMG might be more known, but this car was also around prowling the streets...

I could just kick MBUSA's arse for not sending us any AMG variants of the R129.

The ones that shocked me were the AMG W124 models like the E36 Cabriolet. What a car that must have been.

The x60 AMGs were the predecessors of the old naturally aspirated 55 AMG cars before they switched to the 3-valve design circa 98-99. I believe they cranked out around 380 horses. Back then, AMG was a special tuner rather than a full fledged department within MB.
