Mercedes DTM driver Susie Stoddart takes the E 63 AMG wagon for a spin [Video]

Check out this 2m 16s video of 27-year-old Scottish race car driver Susie Stoddart as she tries to help Mercedes-Benz prove that the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate is not just a "family car," and that it "has another side to it."  The AMG-equipped vehicle was raced around the track by the DTM driver.

The video features some great shots of the car, as well as the driver.  You can debate which looks better in the comments section below.

The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG uses a 518 bhp (386 kW / 525 PS) 6.3-liter V8 engine that churns out up to 630 Nm (465 ft-lb) of torque.  It sprints from 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds en route to a 155 mph (249 km/h) electronically-limited top speed.

Stoddart, of Oban, Scotland, has raced Mercedes vehicles in the DTM since 2006.  In five seasons she has 41 starts, with her best finish being 7th place at Lausitz last weekend.  She is currently in 10th place on the leaderboard with Persson Motorsport.

Really?! An AMG Mercedes can go really fast and really sideways? Well I'll be darned... I know why the Germans limit their cars to 155mph, but I still don't like it. It means you have to de-limit it at extra expense, and even if, for example, I'm extremely unlikely to take my hypothetical BMW M5 up to the 205mph it's actually capable of, I like knowing that I could if I had the opportunity.

Love this car since the wagon form is also so useful. But of course it is not available in the States. Oh, why can't my wife drive like that?!
