2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Wagon
Major change came to the S211 AMG E-Wagon for 2007. The new “E63” badge denoted an all-new 6,208cc naturally aspirated V8, the first engine completely developed by AMG for its own vehicles. Horsepower rose to 507 vs. 469 for the previous E55, although torque was 51 lb-ft lower at 465 lb-ft. The new engine was paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. According to Car and Driver testing, the E63 Wagon did 0-60 in 4.0 seconds and the quarter-mile in 12.5-seconds at 115 mph. The new, naturally aspirated model was marginally quicker than the previous “Kompressor” in all tests. The top track speed remained electronically limited to 155 mph. The base MSRP in 2007 was $85,400.
Not even mentioned in Mercedes-Benz literature or its website, the E63 Wagon remained a special-order rarity, with 153 imported, 24 of those in the third year.
