DTM 190E

One of the most iconic touring cars in DTM history the 190E Evolution 2 took the 190 name to star-studded glory on one of the worlds most competitive stages. A top speed of 185mph and horsepower output of over 300bhp from a naturally aspirated engine made this one of the quickest sedans on any circuit around the globe.

Brabus Rocket

Brabus has been pushing the envelope for years and just last year they created the Rocket 900 which became the world’s fastest four-seat convertible. While it certainly isn’t cheap at $400,000, the top speed is staggering at 217mph. Torque is an earth spinning 1,106 lb-ft at a very low rpm.

Reto Meisel SLK 340

Powered by a Judd V8 (the same company that supplied F1 engines at one time) the SLK 340 hill climb car chucks out 610 horsepower and an impressive aerodynamics package that encompasses a flat bottom that spills air into an aggressive looking rear diffuser. One of the craziest Mercedes tearing up the tarmac hill climb scene in Europe!

CLK GTR AMG

Most people recall this car with fond memories but have to be reminded of its existence. This groundbreaking barely legal street car weighed about the same as a Mazda Miata while pushing out over 600 horsepower. It’s likely we’ll never see a car like this again from MBUSA making it truly drool-worthy.

Project ONE

AMG’s all-new Project ONE debuted last year with 1,000 horsepower and boatloads of hybrid technology from a 1.6L Formula 1 engine. A nod to the small displacement turbo era of F1, this car sets a benchmark of compact and powerful in the most advanced road-going chassis offered to date. By blending the past with the future it solidifies its position as one of the fastest and most interesting hypercars ever made.
