Old vs. New Super Wagons Duke it Out

by Jay Traugott Comparison / Comments

Only 10 Mercedes E63 AMG Wagons are sold in the US each year. But there's only one Icon Derelict wagon.

First things first: the Mercedes-Benz EG63 AMG Wagon is one of the fastest production cars in the world. It's faster from 0-60 mph than the Ford Shelby Mustang GT500. Seriously. At the other end of the spectrum is something called the Icon Derelict, which started life out as a 1952 Chrysler Town & Country Custom Wagon. And while the latter may still look like an old 1952 wagon on the outside, it's been equipped with a Hemi V8 and, in the words of host Jonny Lieberman, is just "dripping with cool." And it costs $140,000. The AMG stickers for "just" $110,195.

So which of these two completely insane super wagons wins this head to head comparison? It's a tough choice no doubt, but the Icon Derelict is really quite special... if you're looking for something that'll always be at the center of attention.
