Anything with an AMG badge is special but there are some AMG models that are even cooler than others. This 1993 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG is one of them and it is currently up for auction where it has garnered plenty of attention.
The E60 AMG was a limited-production, high-performance variant of the W124 E-Class and was developed in collaboration with AMG, a then-independent tuning company that would later become Mercedes-Benz’s in-house performance division. Boasting a 6.0-liter V8 engine capable of producing 375 horsepower and 428 lb-ft (582 Nm) of torque, the E60 AMG was a force to be reckoned with during its time.
This particular example is a European-spec, left-hand drive example that currently resides in Montana. The Cars & Bids listing notes that it was imported from Japan in February 2022. Adding to the desirability of the sedan is the fact that most AMG experts agree that just between 100 and 150 E60 AMG models were ever produced and of these, just 45 are ‘factory-built’ cars with a special ‘957 AMG Technik-Paket’ option code on the build sheet. This is one of them.
Among the important features of the car include the 17-inch three-piece AMG wheels, the 500E-specific body kit, headlight washers, fog lights, power-adjustable wing mirrors, and a power sunroof. A handful of modifications have also been made, including the fitment of a Remus axle-back exhaust system, tinted windows, and an aftermarket steering wheel rim.

It’s worth mentioning that the car isn’t in perfect condition. Cars & Bids notes that it has some stone chips on the front grille and A-pillars. There is also some corrosion on various engine bay brackets and fasteners. For the most part, however, the E60 AMG looks very nice and a recent dyno run reveals that it still has plenty of grunt, churning out 330 hp and 437 lb-ft (594 Nm) at the wheels.
