Definitely a good read. Question I have is why the wagon has a limited top speed of 180 mph versus 186 mph for the sedan. Is it aerodynamics? It seems to me these two with the limiter removed and the correct tires would approach 200 mph fairly easily.

Great question, especially since the S212 AMG wagon has the 300kph limit, same as the Sedan.

E63S Wagon
My guess has been weight and Michelin not wanting to push it on the PS4S ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

edit: just read the article and saw its only a ~100lb difference, so who knows. Maybe it gets a little more lifty at speed.

He talks about the exhaust being piped through the speakers. That isn’t the case, is it?

IIRC, that was eventually de-bunked. This is not an M.
