The all-new 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Estate made its debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, much to the delight of rich soccer mum’s around the globe. Powered by the critically acclaimed 6,2-litre V8 engine developed by AMG, the high revving, naturally aspirated motor develops 386 kW at 6 800 rpm and 630 N.m of torque at 5 200 rpm.
Despite incurring a slight weight penalty over the sedan, the uber-wagon still manages to charge from rest to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds and onto a limited top speed of 250 km/h. And it does so with the practicality one would expect from a wagon that offers a luggage compartment as big as 695 litres and up to 1 950 litres with the rear seats folded down.
The newly developed AMG Ride Control sports suspension, featuring AMG-specific air springs in the rear, ensures the E63 AMG Estate is well equipped to tackle the twisties with kids and plenty of cargo in tow.
Styled aggressively with a full AMG bodykit incorporating front apron with large cooling air intakes; air outlets at the side; AMG-specific LED daytime driving lights; tinted headlights; lightweight 19-inch wheels; flared wheel arches; LED taillights and a sports exhaust system with two newly designed, chrome-plated twin tailpipes, there is no mistaking the E63 AMG Estate’s credentials as a high-performance station wagon.
The market launch of the new 2010 Mercedes E63 AMG Estate is scheduled for February 2010.
