We鈥檙e not even going to pretend to be impartial in discussing the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG wagon. We love it. We love wagons and horsepower, and wherever the two shall meet, we shall find true love鈥攐r something like that. If you鈥檙e reading this hoping for a measured analysis, understand this: This is not a vehicle for the measured and rational. It鈥檚 absurdity overload, unchecked enthusiasm manifest. 100,000 on an E63 wagon of your own, we鈥檒l skip to the important part: yes. The E63鈥檚 family tree contains a few sensible limbs鈥攖he E-class sedan and wagon are stupendously gratifying cruisers鈥攁nd the AMG retains a sufficient degree of their serenity. It鈥檚 just that it鈥檚 all ate up with hedonism, too. The engine, of course, is what makes this punch so heady. That鈥檚 15 more horsepower than the Ferrari 458 Italia makes and as much torque as in the previous-gen Dodge Viper, and the effect is shocking. Mercedes only offers the E63 with four-wheel drive, so the only squealing you hear at launch will be from passengers. The full shove of 590 lb-ft lasts from 2000 to 4500 rpm, and the seven-speed automatic鈥檚 shifts barely interrupt the relentless forward progress.

Zero to 60 mph takes 3.4 seconds, and the car roars through the quarter-mile in 11.7 at 122 mph. Line this thing up against a 2014 Viper, and unless its driver nails a perfect launch, your odds are good. The AMG wagon isn鈥檛 available with the rear-facing third-row seat of the E350, which is a good thing. If you engaged launch control with a couple of grade-schoolers in the way back, the only thing preventing serious neck injury would be them breaking their noses on the back glass. It鈥檚 not just a straight-line roller coaster. This 4733-pound family hauler also sticks to the skidpad for 0.97 g and seems to stall time as it stops from 70 mph in 153 feet鈥攐ver and over and over again, with zero fade. What this is, is a remarkably unlikely vehicle that is exactly as lunatic as it sounds. There鈥檚 only one problem with the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-model 4MATIC wagon: For whatever reason, it doesn鈥檛 have the 664 lb-ft this engine makes in the full-size S-class AMGs. But we won鈥檛 dwell on that. In a world marred by war, disease, natural disasters, and reality TV, to nitpick something so right as the E63 wagon would be, well, wrong.





There are two main ways of building a sleeper. In factory trim, the Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG delivers staggering straight line performance, and we don't have to add the usual "considering its size". However, when such an SUV is gifted with a tuning package that adds some 30% extra power, you end up with a sleeper. Anybody who doesn't trust that, as well as those who do, can watch the devastating effects such a behemoth can have on its competitors during a drag race. Yes, a drag race - as you can imagine, once the GL receives such treatment, it spends more time guzzling gas than serving family purposes. The GL63 we have here has been gifted with a Renntech package, one that brings the output to 730 hp and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of twist. The list of modded items includes the twin turbos, intake, intercooler, exhaust, as well as the tranny. This 5,730 lbs (2,600 kg) machine recently engaged in a drag brawl with a Dodge Challenger Hellcat and a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, with the fight getting overly vicious. The event, which took place in Germany, involved rolling starts and measured the maximum speed after a distance of 300 meters (984 feet). So let's see how the three did. The Renntech GL63 delivered a trap speed of 112 mph (180 km/h), while the Hellcat came with an identical value. As for the Raging Bull, which seems to pack at least a custom exhaust, this climbed to 116 mph (187 km/h).
