From Formula 1-inspired roadsters to experimental engineering feats, these rare AMG models are a breed of their own.
Rarest of the Rare
Mercedes-AMG has a storied history of crafting some of the most exclusive and high-performance vehicles in the automotive world. Beyond its reputation for engineering excellence, the brand has occasionally ventured into creating ultra-rare, limited-production models that cater to collectors. These vehicles, often tied to significant milestones or groundbreaking innovations, exemplify the pinnacle of exclusivity.
SL 63 AMG World Championship 2014 Editions – 19 Units of Each
Produced in honor of Mercedes’ dominant 2014 Formula 1 season, the SL 63 AMG World Championship Editions epitomize exclusivity.

With just 19 units per design, these SL 63 convertibles are rare collectibles symbolizing the beginning of Mercedes’ F1 supremacy.

Born out of the FIA GT Championship-winning AMG GT1 race car, the CLK GTR bridges the gap between track and road. Only 18 coupes were produced between 1998 and 1999, featuring a 6.9-liter V12 engine delivering 622 horsepower. 6 units of the CLK GTR’s limited production were converted to roadsters, and only two CLK GTR SuperSport variants were built, which represent the most extreme performance capabilities offered in the unbelievable package.
C 63 AMG DR520: 20 Units
Exclusively released in the UK in 2010, the C 63 AMG DR520 marked the final chapter for the W204 C-Class. With only 20 units produced, this model offered significant upgrades over the standard C 63, including forged pistons, con-rods, and crankshafts that boosted output to 520 horsepower. Available in sedan or wagon variants and finished in matte black or white, it combined enhanced performance with subtle exclusivity, appealing to a niche audience of AMG enthusiasts.
SL 55 AMG Mille Miglia Edition – 10 Units

A 38 AMG – 4 Units
The A 38 AMG represents one of AMG’s most inventive projects. With only four units produced in 2000, it featured dual 1.9-liter engines, giving it a combined output of 250 horsepower and AWD capability. Two of these went to F1 stars Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard, further cementing the model’s status as a collector’s treasure.
