MT: First Test: 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model 4Matic Wagon

There are a lot of supercars that are going to have to bow down to the Wagon from Affalterbach:

Just how fast is Benz’s Superwagon? It tops out at a claimed 186 mph. That’s fast enough to Vmax alongside a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. To rocket from 0 to 60 mph, the E63 needs just 3.4 seconds, making it a clean 0.5 second quicker than Chevrolet’s all-new 460-hp C7 Corvette Z51. It’s even 0.1 second quicker than the 640-hp SRT Viper. Quarter mile? That takes only 11.7 seconds and hits 120.4 mph, again making it 0.5 quicker than the C7, which had a trap speed of 117.3. I don’t mean to pick on the new Corvette; I’m just showing just how crazy fast the E63 Wagon is. In fact, it’s quicker to 60 and in the quarter mile than the following exotic machinery: Aston Martin Vanquish, Bentley Continental GT Speed, BMW M5 and M6, Ferrari California, Jaguar F-Type V8 S, and the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. And remember: It’s a wagon!

New Beyond Civic???

[KRyn]

Needs a Black Series face lift and it will be good to go!

[rage2]

There's rumors of a E63 Coupe Black Series coming down the line...

E63 wagon has been my dream car for a while, and this just confirmed my boner.

Oh fuck, that would be epic.

[npham]

Wow, maybe I should just save up another year and get one of these instead of an RS5...

[benyl]

You'll have to wait a long time to get one anyway.

Word on the street is that if you order one today, you might not see it until March / April next year.

Any word on MSRP?

[rage2]

Well optioned at $120k. There's one coming with every checkbox at $150k!

[max_boost]

Damn why you guys so rich.

but the wife won't

That's pretty well exactly the same performance as an Audi S8, just a hair faster (S8 is 11.8 @ 118.3, 0-60 3.5s).

I'm amazed at what these big cars can do these days. Supercar straight-line performance and you can get a massage at the same time haha.

Wait till you see the numbers for the Sedan. It's even faster.

Canadian MSRP's for the Wagons:

$105,900 E63 Wagon
$112,900 E63 Wagon S-Model

The S-Model has more power + LSD. The non S has no LSD, but can be chipped for the same power.

How I would spec it out:

$112,900 E63 Wagon S-Model
$3700 Premium Package
$1100 Night Package
$2400 Rear Seat Entertainment

Total price of $120,100. Now, if you check all the boxes, you can add these guys:

$5100 Exterior + Engine Bay CF package
$2700 Advanced Driver's Package
$890 Diamond White Metallic Paint
$2500 CF Interior Trim
$4900 B&O
$13,750 Ceramic Brakes

$149,940! Still cheaper than a Panamera Turbo haha.

[ExtraSlow]

And a heck of a lot better looking than the panamera, IMO.

[Darkane]

That's delicious.

If I ever grow-up from being a Ricer maybe I'll trade up the GTR for the wagon

But I am not as baller as raj2. The GLA45 looks promising. A GLK63 would be better.

[rage2]

Fixed.
