Underestimated for years. It wasn’t regarded as a true sports car—very masculine, yet lacking the same flair as the BMW M3. Not as powerful as Porsche or Ferrari, and its only real competitor was the Chevrolet Corvette C5.
However, it’s important to remember that this car is equipped with a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8. It comes from the earliest AMG models and was produced for just four years.
Over the past two years, prices have increased by about 30% and are expected to continue rising. In the next two to three years, a well-maintained example should be worth approximately 50% more than it is now.
