Torque Report

Mercedes-Benz is bringing a seriously fast wagon to the U.S. with the addition of the E63 AMG wagon for the 2012 model year. Mercedes-Benz has announced the changes to its lineup for the new model year and it includes the E63 AMG wagon joining the sedan version on our side of the Atlantic.

Mercedes-Benz already announced the changes to the 2012 E63 AMG, which includes a new twin-turbocharged 5.5L V8 under the hood. The new engine produces up to 550 horsepower with the available Performance Package. The engine puts out 518 horsepower and 516 lb-ft. of torque without the package.

Now you can enjoy all that extra power under the hood in a more family friendly version...

Yes, it's coming to the US; No, most of us mere mortals will not be able to afford it... Pretty freaking sweet wagon though!

Oh. My. Damn. I almost bought a used W211 E63 Estate but hated the interior.

Might have to convince the wife she *needs* this. But, it will cost $100k+ as Merc charges a $15k premium for the wagon over normal models (the E350 Estate is the only current wagon and its easily $60k without options, for a V6). I could *settle* for an E550 Estate....plenty fast.
