2016 E63 Wagon
New E63 wagon

So this is the new E63 wagon

doesn't look too different from the regular one but i don't know what i was expecting.

I love my wagon but this is tempting for all the new technology and arguably more stylish interior.

But I think the rear end isn't as cool as my 16.

but how the hell are they squeezing 600hp out of a 4liter V8 with factory warranty? horse power numbers are crazy these days. i barely tap into all the power I have now as is...

no MBs at the moment :(
Just FYI, there a separate forum for this car: https://mbworld.org/forums/w213-amg-214/

agree with the rear. I don't like it. I think the C63 wagon wears the shape quite well, but the back of the E63 just looks odd.

re: engine, I'm curious if the actual HP to the wheels is more or less than the current M157, which is severely underrated.

Oops. sorry about that. I didn't even think to look for the new forum as the cars are not even on the roads yet.

I had no real interest in going to dyno my car but since everyone says the engine is underrated, I am now really curious. anyone try out the new "wind tunnel dyno" down in Torrance? world motors? world motorsports? i can't remember.

Call me old fashioned but a candle stick off the steering wheel for a "gear shifter" it makes feel like my dad's old tractor or my friends 70's Ford Falcon.... I might change my mind but for now, I am not buying a car with a feature like that. The steering column is already busy why add something else?

just so you know the current m157 e63s also has north of 600 bhp and 600 btq despite its marketing at 577/590.

I have read this from other forum members as well. And some dyno numbers seem to prove it. It just boggles my mind as I come from a turbo 4 banger beofre my AMG and i thought that was pretty zippy with a tune.
My wagon really is a brute and I love it.

Couldn't agree more! This is a back to the 70's feature...
