The aftermarket AMG version (back when AMG was an independent shop) was called The Hammer. I think that was back around 1986 or 1987. You can look up the same Road & Track issue where Ruf's car was anointed Yellow Bird.
Then Mercedes decided to make a factory version a few years later, and badged it the 500E. Kind of a "Factory Hammer."
