Mercedes-AMG E63 S Wagon is Ultimate Family Street Car
Run 10s on the track during lunch and attend that PTA meeting after work in the E63 S Wagon.
Suppose you want a Mercedes-AMG E63S in your garage, but your wife would rather have something “sensible” that could take the kids to soccer and ballet. What do you do?
Get a car that can do both. MotoManTV shows us the way with the second of his two-part review (the first part can be viewed here) of the 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63S Wagon. In this video, MotoMan takes the family truckster out on the winding road to test its many modes to help build a case for your ambitions to own this monster.
The first part of the video is devoted to all the many ways you can have fun throwing this beasty through the turns, from simply engaging Race Mode to diverting all power from the front to the rear wheels through the E63S Wagon’s (tiny bit involved) Drift Mode. The look and expression of pure joy beams from our host as the 603-horsepower four-liter BITURBO V8 roars through the mountainside.
The second half, of course, is devoted the practicality of the E63 S Wagon, especially with the neat party tricks involved in the storage area. A wave of your foot opens the hatch, the seats fold down with a button, and the floor reveals a storage area hiding “the absolute best selling point for your better half,” a collapsible shopping basket capable of keeping “the overpriced groceries” from Whole Foods in one place.
This wagon is special in so many ways, only MotoMan could put it best:
“Who would have thunk that you and I would have gotten to a point in life where A) we’d be excited about driving a station wagon, and B) one that is completely bonkers with this much horsepower? We really are living in an alternate universe.”
