| Re: Mercedes E63 Estate vs. Audi R8 very very fast estate  Hate it tho when that guy says at the end "Finally caught up", seriously on a track the R8 would most prob be quicker

| Re: Mercedes E63 Estate vs. Audi R8 Nothing surprising... The RS6 Avant would kill both of these. R8 is not a straight-race car. We all know that. It's when the road turns, that it performs!

| Re: Mercedes E63 Estate vs. Audi R8 I've driven the E63 and yes its fast in straightline but not a very entertaining car. I haven't tried the R8 but its a real sportscars so it should be an very involving car to drive. If I want a fast straightliner give me a tuned Toyota Supra

Indeed! Whats amazing about the E63 Estate is that it`s faster than E63 sedan because of the slight rear weight bias I believe. It`s even faster than the CLK63 BS, faster than the SL63 without the LC on. I think I remember one test where the E63 Estate beat the M5 Estate on the track not too long ago.... If the next E-Estate gets 570hp from what the predictions are saying, it will be one of the fastest cars out there!!

I thought you said the E63 is faster than a SL65. Perhaps misinterpreted you. Quote:
