I've been reading about the 2025 Mercedes-AMG E53; a PHEV with up to 603 hp and a pure EV range of about 40 miles. I managed to snag a spot on a digital live talk with the AMG product managers of the E53; it was conducted on MS Teams and all of the participants were able to ask multiple questions. That said, I only asked one- Will the E53 Estate (wagon) be available in the US? Unfortunately, the answer was no, but one of the AMG managers said that it may be available later. Another participant asked how the PHEV sytem worked on the track and the answer was that the E53 was not intended to be driven on the track. That was disappointing, but I'm guessing that the upcoming E63 will not have a similar restriction.
I normally don’t like cars much bigger than a C Class or 3 Series, but in the case of this car I could make an exception, assuming the curb weight is within reason.
