First Look: OttOmobile Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer

Considered one of the coolest sport sedans ever created, the Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer chartered untouched waters in its segment.  The 1:18 replica is upcoming from the OttOmobile brand in early 2016.  As always model is manufactured in resin and sealed.

About the Hammer…  “The release of the AMG Hammer sedan in 1986, based on the W124 E-Class, took AMG’s performance modifications for a fast mid-sized sedan to a new level.  AMG made the world’s fastest passenger sedan at the time, nicknamed the Hammer, by squeezing Mercedes 5.6-litre V8 tuned by AMG to 360 hp into a mid-sized sedan. It was very aggressive for the era, with 32-valve cylinder heads and twin camshafts, and said to be faster than the Lamborghini Countach from 60 to 120 mph.  Later models were even more powerful and introduced the 17-inch AMG Aero 1 Hammer wheels. 1986 was also the year Mercedes introduced the 560 M117 engine. This provided yet another opportunity for customers to order the largest AMG displacement available at the time, the 6L 100 mm bore SOHC or DOHC engines available for both the W126 coupe and sedans.”
