We all love a loud, fast, bombastic estate car. There isn't a type of car anywhere else in the automotive world that combines more character with more grace and style. The petrolheads at AMG have made some of the very best for almost three decades
2009 Mercedes-AMG E63 S
Turbocharging had been the way forward for AMG ever since
announcing in 2006 that it was done with superchargers. The power gains
have since gone through the roof. Badged as a 63 for heritage reasons
but stuffed with a 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8, the 2009 E63 came in two
versions; the 577bhp, 590lb ft standard car and the truly mental 607bhp,
664lb ft tyre destroyer simply badged as the ‘S’. Even the standard car
smashed through 62mph in 4.5 seconds.
By this point, and it feels very much like recent memory, AMG was developing engines that sounded and felt almost life-changing in their bizarrely over-the-top German joie de vive, whatever joie de vive translates to in German. The E63 of this era was a special thing, but right now it’ll cost you over £30,000 for sure.
