Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate spied

By George Skentzos |

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been spied at the Nurburgring yet again, however this time in a more sedate estate guise.

While it isn’t entirely possible to tell from these spy shots, the likely feature the AMG E63 Estate – judging by just how hard the driver is pushing it on the track.

Due to be unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, the estate will almost certainly mimic the specification level of its sedan counterpart.

A major portion of these features will encompass a greater focus on driver aid technologies such as lane-departure warnings, an eye-movement monitor, traffic-sign identification and road-condition sensors.

Expect Mercedes’ usual range of petrol and diesel V6 and V8 engines with a flagship naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V8 engine churning out over 370kW.

    Is it just me or is the front left wheel off the ground in the first photo? Should that happen?

    That is the cambered corner known as the Karussell (carousel). On turn-in when approaching the corner it’s important to rear-steer the car until you “drop-in” and drive straight out under full power (no understeer here unless you’re too hot). Then again this car has a big arse which could explain the pitch of the vehicle and its nose rising under power through a corner. It’s a pity that these wagons just dont sell here (import tariffs favour the SUVs).

    The E Class saloon is a great car – so I’m guessing the estate will be too!
