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…
Mercedes CLK GTR - 3.8sec
Porsche 911 R - 3.8sec
Mercedes-AMG GT S - 3.8sec
Ferrari Enzo - 3.6sec
Audi R8 GT - 3.6sec
Ferrari 430 Scuderia - 3.6sec
Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 - 3.6sec

All this in an estate? Poor dogs…
But who would actually have the e63 over any of these…
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…
And how many would this beat?
Honestly I don’t give a sh!t about estate, talk to me when Coupe comes out
Nissan GTR 2.9
RS6 or this? Or v90 maybe?
The Enzo is actually 3.2
