Is This Proof A Mercedes-AMG E63 Wagon Is Coming To The US?

The 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 would be replaced with Mercedes' new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and make an additional 25-50 horsepower, meaning that the Black Series wagon may make up to 650+ horsepower. The rear tires will likely be spared from shouldering the burden of linear turbocharged torque delivery with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel drive system while an iron-fisted traction control system would fill in the gaps needed to keep the car on the road. Like other Black Series Mercedes, the AMG E63 Wagon would not be built to turn blisteringly quick lap times. Instead, it would provide braggadocios numbers that would thentranslate to riot-like funfor buyers who happen to need SUV cargo capacity.

Alternatively, this could be a Plain Jane E63 version of the new E-Class Estate (if there was such a thing) rather than a Black Series version. We fell in love with the E400 Estatethat debuted last monthand will make it across the Atlantic by 2017. However, when the car was released, Mercedes told Americans that the E43 AMG would be for Europe only, but that may no longer be the case. By spotting this red-hot rendition out in the wild, our hopes have gone up that an AMG version of the wagon will make it to the US after all, except this time it will be wearing more prestigious E63 badges. Whether it turns out to be a Black Series or not, nobody needs this wagon, but we want it so badly. Don't expect to hear more about it until 2017 nears.
