    If you're going to build a ridiculously powerful station wagon, why not go all out? That's just what Mercedes-Benz has done with the latest iteration of its ultimate family/cargo/stuff hauler: The 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S. Like the E63 S sedan, the wagon derives its power from a 4.0-liter V-8 with a pair of turbocharged huffing air down its gullet to the tune of 603 horsepower and 627 axle-twisting pound-feet of torque. The power flows through Mercedes' AMG Speedshift MCT 9-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels via the brand's 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system. Instead of a fixed torque...
