Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer 0–60 Times

AMG Hammer performance is defined by a single, short production run from 1987 to 1987, captured here across 3 verified tests. In that one model year, the Hammer established a narrow but well-documented performance window, with 0-60 times ranging from 5.0 to 5.2 seconds and an average of 5.07 seconds. All recorded examples are 1987 sedans powered by AMG’s naturally aspirated M117 V8, rated at 355 hp and sending output through a gasoline powertrain only.

Because the Hammer’s production history is confined to one year, its performance story is essentially the launch specification and the test data that followed. The benchmark run was the 1987 Sedan at 5.0 seconds to 60 mph, which also produced the quickest quarter-mile result at 13.2 seconds at 108 mph. The remaining verified runs stayed close, including another 1987 Sedan at 5.2 seconds to 60 mph and a model-line average quarter-mile of 13.43 seconds at 108.2 mph. Today, the AMG Hammer stands in the records as a one-year Mercedes-Benz performance outlier, represented by a small but consistent body of independently verified test results.
