Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Mercedes AMG E-Class estate

The standard version of Mercedes' new E-Class estate goes on sale at the beginning of next year but this is no ordinary estate. This is the E63 flagship, and these are the best pictures yet of what the newcomer will look like.

Spied here in Germany carrying out the final stages testing ahead of its release next spring, the virtually undisguised super estate clearly shows that the E-Class wagon will borrow many of its styling cues from the new saloon.

Under the bonnet, like the saloon there will be Mercedes’ award winning 6.3-litre V8 engine producing around 520bhp and over 600Nm of torque. This means 0-62mph will take well under 5 seconds making it one of the fastest estates around.

Expect to pay for this though as the E63 wagon will come will a pricetag of around £70,000 when it hits the road next year.

I do like the styling of the new Mercs I must say. Very nice; shame the rest of the German marques arnt up to scratch with styling.
