I do like a fast wagon. RS4, RS6, M5, 63AMG etc.

But after the recent Estates vs Saloons poll unearthed a few treasures that I didn't know about (Passat R36 Estate + Evo IX Wagon) are there any more hot versions of the fast estate out there that have passed some of us by?

The Chrysler 300C Estate - not super hot, but available with the HEMI engine.

MG ZT-T - the 260 model with the Mustang V8, Rover were working on a Supercharged ZT-T 385, and the engine can be tweaked up circa 400bhp with a supercharger conversion.

Of course though, for bonkers power, you need a Brabus: http://cars.uk.msn.com/news/brabus-reveals-the-wor...

Wagon. rolleyes

It's an estate in the UK FYI. I know it does t sound as cool but that's the way it is!
Although I've noticed some Peugeot's are called "SW" these days.

Yes. I know there's a Subaru called a wagon but it's still gay. Estate!

Glad I'm not the only car geek/bore depending on your opinion. biggrin
I love the rare Evo wagon but you mentioned it in the first post!
What about the WRX 'Gravel Express'. 4x4 like Spare wheel, bull bars and two tone paint on a WRX!
Focus ST is now available as an Estate I think.
Many AMG estates around and Audi RS/S models. M5 was available as an estate.
Impreza WRX estates around and Volvo T5/R models.
Think the other Jap ones have been mentioned like Stagea/Vr-4/Legacy Gt.
Running out of ideas now! I think the Mondeo ST220 was available as an estate and the later 2.5T was.
The Volvo T6/Vectra VXR I think were available as estates.
Saab 9-3/9-5 HOT Aero Estates.
The got the Saab 9-2X in America which is a slightly tweaked Impreza WRX Wagon that looks different and is rare.
Those Ferrari 456 estates that were ridiculously expensive and owned by a Sheik/Sheiks?
Remapped 335d Estate. biggrin
M550d estate that we don't get.
Many Alpina estates based on the 3/5 series I think. Ok there are more but I can't think of any right now.

I've just brought a Audi S2 Nothelle N300 Avant. This one has been remapped and is pushing around 350bhp. It's great, it looks just like an old diesel estate.

E39/E34 540i Manual if you can find one that's not been turned into a drift slag


Plenty of E30 Tourings with M60B40/M60B44 engine swaps too (the B40 is better/rarer)

Something usually overlooked is the C5 S6 Avant, 4.2 V8 and although the handling isn't upto much, they can be had cheaply

My old smoker is 2003 9-5 Aero Wagon.
I bloody love it. It's no B road sports car, but in a straight line it's fantastic. Fully loaded and supremely comfy :-)
Proper practical sleeper.

In the 60s, many referred to them as "station wagons". My dad did.
