The new 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG E 63 S Wagon is a beauty. It's fast as hell, practical and rare. The performance car is finally making its way to the U.S. If only I could afford it.
The new station-wagon has a twin-turbo V8 engine that sends 603 horsepower to all four wheel via an all-wheel drive system. One of my favourite features is the AMG-exclusive system that has a variable torque split front-to-rear that is generally sending power to the front axle to get around corners quickly.. but it's got a Drift Mode that switches into pure rear-wheel drive. Imagine taking this out for a drive.. and experiencing the 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.4 seconds first hand. It's faster than even a Corvette Grand Sport! That would be a ride to remember.
I love the sleek new look with beautiful interior and semi-autonomous tech in the new E-Classes. The Mercedes-Benz AMG E S Wagon is set to arrive in U.S. dealers in fall of 2018. I wish I could finance it one day. Afterall, what's not to like about a 603-hp station wagon with a Drift Mode?
- 603-hp is a huge draw, with explosive acceleration.
- Drift Mode.
- Semi-autonomous tech.
- Windshield and side glass designed to reduce solar gain and road noise.
- Very expensive, and $17,000 worth of additional options.
- No cargo organizer.
Overall, if you can afford it, I think the 2018 AMG E 63 S Wagon is an amazing vehicle.
