Growing up in the '90s, I often took to bumper cars, in a quest to quench my thirst for speed. They weren't very fast, and the playground was limited, to say the least, but that was my first kind of contact with an electric-powered vehicle. And here we are, some 30 years later, basking in a series of nearly 2000 horsepower electric hypercars.

In the past, automakers who built track-focused versions of their everyday sports cars aimed to increase performance and shed as much weight as possible, so the cabins were usually stripped of comfort-oriented features. That is not the case with Mercedes-AMG’s GT Black Series, which gains exclusive features without losing many of the creature comforts and luxurious feel of its standard siblings. 22 photos
Revealed last summer, the wildest member of the AMG family instantly made our jaws drop. Just by looking at the spec sheet, we realized that this was not an ordinary beefed-up GT but arguably the most epic road-legal vehicle to come out of Germany.

Although we’re still waiting for the U.S. pricing of the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster, such an example costs no less than €167,528.20 ($203,426 at the current exchange rates) at home in Germany, and we can’t imagine the American MSRP is going to stray too far from that.

Still fresh from the recent facelift, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has many things going for it. In case this summer is just as tempting for you open-top driving enthusiasts as it is for us, we all know there’s just one possible answer to the road trip call, the E-Class Cabriolet version. And, if money were no object, we’d be fools not to select the mighty AMG E 53 4Matic+. 21 photos
Granted, at home in Germany, the E-Class Cabriolet kicks off at €57,679.30 (around $70,300 at the current exchange rates) in the base E200 configuration, and then you almost have to pay the car all over again to reach the €91,564.55 (almost $112k) quotation of the E53.
