3. Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG Wagon (W210)

The Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG Wagon (W210) is the epitome of a stealthy powerhouse. Outwardly, it appears to be a mild-mannered family hauler, but lurking beneath is a hand-built V8 engine that delivers supercar-level acceleration. In its day, this wagon could outpace a Porsche 911 from a stoplight, all while carrying groceries in the back. Car and Driver praised its rare blend of practicality and jaw-dropping performance.
