V8 Wagons: Eight Cylinders, One Long Roof
The wagons that carried a V8 — from the Audi RS and S Avants to the Mercedes E-Class AMGs and the big American estates. Eight cylinders under a practical roof is the rarest combination in the database. Full list in the Wagon Wiki.
Reading the table: Specs are for the representative volume trim of each generation unless noted. HP/Ton is computed (hp ÷ curb weight in US tons). Values marked ~ are approximate and pending verification against primary sources. Imports (never sold new in the US) are badged.
