Their Avant Continues To Get Better With Age

The Mercedes-AMG E63 WAGON Is Back

AMG E-Class Wagon: An American Tradition

The AMG E63 S Wagon went on sale in October 2017 as one of 22 AMG models in the U.S. that have standard all-wheel drive (out of a total 40 AMG variants). Although some of the well-known SUV models such as the G-Class, GLS, or GLE usually come to mind when referring to all-wheel drive, the E-Class Wagon has become synonymous for all-wheel drive capability, with a very exclusive customer base.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class wagon attracts one of the brand's highest median household incomes, with 23% of its U.S. customers being located between the New York and Boston metropolitan areas, and 22% in California alone. For more than five years, Mercedes-Benz has been without German competition in this size and class.

The customer base of the AMG high-performance variant of the E-Class Wagon is even more exclusive. As the modern successors to the single S124 AMG Hammer wagon built at AMG's independent U.S. headquarters in Westmont, IL in 1986 near Chicago, every generation of AMG E-Class wagons have always been special-order models in the U.S., never exceeding triple-digit sales. Mercedes celebrates this exclusive group of owners.

"We're proud of our American tradition of selling both the E-Class Wagon and its AMG high-performance variant," said Bernie Glaser, General Manager of Product Management at Mercedes-Benz USA. "Our ability to offer an AMG E-Class Wagon with standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive since 2014 has greatly enhanced our unique position, both in terms of performance capability and also for winter weather conditions in northern markets."

The following is a summary of the 2018 AMG E63 S Wagon, as well as U.S. sales and product information regarding the AMG E-Class Wagons of the past, which follow in the original AMG Hammer Wagon's tire treads.

The Car Is Appropriately Named

This 1987 AMG Hammer Wagon Is A Hero From Another Time

There was a time when an AMG wasn’t just some car you bought from a dealership. Not long ago you, could take your Mercedes and a large stack full of cash to the tuners at AMG—then a separate company from Benz itself—and they would make you basically whatever you wanted, even if that meant stuffing a 6.0-liter V8 into a wagon.

But it’s important to remember that AMG wagons began with someone with a dream, a boatload of money, and some mad scientist mechanics willing to build it.

These Saloon's Can Really Move

It's Time To Celebrate 8 Of AMG's Best Wagons

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.

This Project Car Has Serious Potential

For $7,000, Does This 2003 VW Jetta Wagon Make You Unic-Horny?

Here we have just such a wagon, a 2003 Jetta with a breathed upon 1.8-litre turbo four and a five-speed manual transmission. 


So it’s an old Jetta wagon with a turbo and a stick, so what, right? Well, first off, please note that the car is being offered up on the VW Vortex forums, which means that it should be considered as a very serious Vee-Dub.

It comes with a bunch of expected engine enhancements, including an AEM cold air intake, side-mount interooler and red top coil packs—ahh the VW coilpacks—as well as new motor mounts, hoses, timing belt and water pump. It also has a new starter and battery. Woot!

What Could Have Been

Fast wagons aren't a thing in the US, but the touring body style is a hit in Europe. And while every enthusiast loves a high-performance wagon, automakers apparently like the body style as well. The 2000 M3 Touring was built to serve in-house purposes. Essentially, BMW built the vehicle to prove that it could be done with little difficulty. We have a feeling that an E46 M3 Touring would have done extremely well.

I'm Surprised It's Still For Sale

Michael Schumacher's Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG Wagon Up for Sale

Spending more than $133,000 on a used-up, two-decade old Mercedes station wagon with around 123,000 miles on it might seem ridiculous. Then again, most Mercedes wagons aren't Michael Schumacher's 1998 Mercedes E55 AMG.

A dealer in Berlin, Germany is hoping the Formula One driver's famous name will allow them to sell the wagon for more than ten times the normal price of a late-Nineties, W210 Mercedes E55 AMG.
