(An)Other Hammer in the Making

I have been a fan of the Hammer "series" from the beginning. I believe it was 1986, and based on the 300E of the time. There was also the 500E, E55 and the "other" E63. This latest variant had 507hp and a sticker of over $120k. I'm not a real fan of the current styling. It seems that the new one might be more to my liking. When the first variants came out with the more angular and muscled appearance I was unsure. However, with the continued release of different models within the entire lineup, ones like the SL63 are really a standout in asny company. More from Autoblog.com.

The new Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG has yet to be introduced (we're guessing it'll make an appearance in New York next month), but the readers of Germany's Sport Auto magazine are going to have a shot at winning the new über-sedan as part of the sweepstakes that accompanies the buff book's annual reader's choice awards. In honor of the occasion, Mercedes has pulled a Lutz and given a quick upskirt peek at the front end. What's it look like? Well, as you can see, it's pretty much what you'd expect from an AMG ride: updated fascia, aero kit, big split-spoke wheels that show off bigger, upgraded brakes, etc. The normally-aspirated 6.2 (+ .1 for old-times' sake) liter V8 belts out 525 horsepower. Bring money. You know you're gonna need it. We'll have more for you on the new AMG E-Class as soon as more deets become available.
