In a world where the station wagon was declared dead, Hagerty brings us a thrilling revelation - the resurgence of the Mercedes E-Class AMG wagon. But hold your horses, because they've pitted this hot wagon against the endangered sedan species, represented by the Mercedes S-Class and Porsche Panamera. These luxury beasts are on life support in the face of SUV dominance. The challenge is set: which non-SUV can conquer the drag race track and claim the title of the fastest sedan or wagon on the market?
The contenders line up, each boasting a V8 engine with twin turbochargers and performance-enhancing electric motors. The Audi RS6 Performance emerges as the lightweight underdog, equipped with upgraded turbos and carbon ceramic brakes. Meanwhile, the BMW M5 flexes its muscles with a staggering 717 horsepower, despite tipping the scales as the heaviest competitor. The Porsche Panamera Turbo SE hybrid brings a dual-clutch automatic transmission to the table, promising a rocket-like launch off the line.
Surprisingly, it's the Mercedes S-Class that steals the show with a jaw-dropping 791 horsepower and an unmatched 1055 lb-ft of torque. This luxurious barge defies expectations, leaving the M5 and RS6 in its dust. As the cars roar down the track, the Porsche Panamera sets a new world record for the quickest accelerating four-door car, showcasing its flawless performance. While the BMW M5 struggles with tire spin and slow shifts, the Audi RS6 falls short due to its lack of electric motors. In a race where luxury meets speed, these heavyweight contenders prove that size doesn't always matter when it comes to performance.
