MERCEDES BENZE 63 AMG T-Modell (S211) 2006 - 2009

　　Somewhere along the road, the horsepower battle moved from compact-sized cars to bigger ones and even to the station-wagon category. One good example of a very fast station-wagon was the 2006 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG T-Model.

　　In 2006, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the facelift for the E-Class at the New York International Auto Show. The E63 AMG was the most powerful E-Class ever made. It produced 38 more hp than the E55 AMG, which had a 5.4-liter supercharged engine. Even if it offered less torque, it was faster to 100 kph (62 mph). On a drag-strip, it was faster than an Audi R8 supercar.

　　The family station wagon tuned by the AMG featured a more aggressive front styling. A different bumper and apron, with bigger air-intakes and different side sills. The grille was the same so, at a glance, it wouldn't be that noticed. A bigger set of wheels with a special five-spoke design was included in the package and so were the four exhaust pipes in the back.

　　Inside, the E63 AMG Station-wagon featured the same interior as the non-AMG versions, but with some small differences such as the aluminum pedals.

　　The engine was a naturally aspirated V8 with a 6.2-liter displacement. The 63 number didn't come from the displacement. It came from the torque, expressed in Newton-meters: 631 (465 lb-ft). It was mated as standard to a 7G-Tronic gearbox.
