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

To put the bonkers acceleration figure of the new E63 S estate in context, here are some rather more exotic performance cars it can beat in the benchmark 0-62mph sprint
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…

At this pace,in thirty years time the Hyundai Accent will be capable of a sub 2 seconds 0-60 time and 400mph for around £10000

But remember that although it can accelerate faster than all these cars, it doesn’t necessarily mean that a 2 tonne estate can corner as well too…

Exactly, the 911 R will be so much better in the corners. I like this E63, but I would have nearly all these other cars first.

Keep in mind the AMG is heavily modified compared to the standard Merc in the picture (assuming it is standard, I may be wrong). But of course it doesn’t handle as good as the others, it is made to eat highway miles day after day, not keep up with a 911 R around Spa.

But how often will you even get near to its cornering limitations in day to day driving. However, you can enjoy its mind blowing acceleration in nearly every traffic light.
