Sometimes the kids are late for school, and you need a wagon to get them there in a hurry. In its latest drag race,
Top Gear finds out which is the quicker high-performance family hauler: the
Audi RS6 Avant or the
Mercedes-AMG E63 S.


The specs suggest this race should be quite close at the finish line. The RS6 has a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 552 horsepower, but the E63 S is a little more powerful with 577 hp from a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8. However, the Audi has a traction advantage from the all-wheel drive system, whereas the Mercedes only spins its rear wheels.
