7 Cars The Mercedes-AMG E63 S Estate Can Beat To 62mph

It’s easy to get blasé about acceleration figures these days. So many cars hit 62mph from rest in three-point-something seconds now, that one can forget just how fast that really is.

That’s why from time-to-time, when a car with a particularly impressive figure comes along, we feel the need to put things in context with a a good ol’ list. And the latest car we want to do that with is the Mercedes-AMG E63 S estate.

Yes, it may have 603bhp to play with, but the fact the E63’s all-wheel drive system is able to shoot two tonnes of estate from 0-62mph in just 3.5sec (a tenth slower than the saloon) is nothing short of mind-blowing.

A wagon with up to 1800 litres of bootspace, that’s faster than all these exotics? Sign us up…
