The X-factor that makes AMG cars quite a bit special than the rest, we reckon, is their willingness to send the pendulum right to the edge of the swing. These are the guys who started things off with a modified C-Class, went on to drop a 7.3-litre V12 into a convertible, and then churn supercar figures out of something commonly used as a hearse.
