This must be the holy grail among power stations, right?
Ladies and gentlemen, please take a close look at the photos. There you see a Mercedes E-Class T-Modell of the S212 generation. You might be thinking: “But isn't this just an old box that is barely faster than a current E with PHEV drive?” and then you have a point. But check the price: it's up now 34,995 euros.
It is not that this car is investment advice, but something in us says that they will not become much cheaper. It is the holy grail among fast station wagons, this E63 AMG Estate.
That is of course because of THAT engine. It is the 6,208 cc V8 from AMG, their first real engine that they designed themselves. And yes, you could get this engine in the C63 AMG, but the E-Class is cooler. There are also a few things different with the E63 compared to the C63.
Power holy grail among power stations
The engine is considerably stronger: 525 hp is still a lot of power in 2024. the torque of 630 Nm is also impressive. The great thing is that there are no turbos or superchargers involved. This not only results in a nice accelerator pedal response, but also in a very nice sound.
The only drawback is the fuel tank, which measures only 66 liters. According to Sprit monitor this 6.2 averages 1 out of 7.27. A value that is not really disappointing, to be honest. It's not great, but these types of cars can sometimes be extremely thirsty.
The weight is actually not too bad. This holy grail of station wagons weighs only 1,845 kg. That is again not very light, but considering that it is a very large station wagon, it is not too bad. We think the Smart #5 will be a lot heavier.
TGV and Airbus competitor
It is not the case that this E63 Estate has run many kilometers. It now has 124,154 km, which is very reasonable considering the age. After all, these are cars that you can use to blast down the highway. Think of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG more as a competitor for a TGV or Airbus.
And the most beautiful thing about this holy grail among station wagons is the subtle nose. Nowadays all AMGs have the big star in the Panamericana grille. In this case you still have a normal chrome grille with a small star on top. Just as it should be. What doesn't belong is that badge, it doesn't seem to have been stuck on properly. But yes, that's easily arranged! In short, interested in this 'Wagon? You can view the advertisement here!
