Mercedes-AMG E 63 Estate Spotted Testing Amid Black Series Rumours

What do we have here, then? We stumbled upon this video claiming to feature a Black Series estate version of next year’s Mercedes-AMG E-Class.

It’s not unheard-of for AMG to crank up the volume on its estates. We’ve previously seen a C 63 Black Series, after all. It’s clearly packing a big, turbocharged V8 judging by the noise it makes as its test drivers run it through their programme around the Nurburgring.

Chunky arches and quad exhausts suggest it’s a bit tasty under the camouflage, and this car’s number plate is almost identical to one spotted in testing last year – also rumoured to be a Black Series. We’re struggling to see where there’s a market for it, though. There are already 563bhp standard and 604bhp S versions of the E wagon, so are sales high enough to warrant an even more aggressive one?

A Black Series version could push power north of 630bhp; maybe even towards 650bhp. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This could be testing of new components, new electronic control systems or even tyres, for all we know, and the camouflage may be incidental. Let the speculation begin!
