Largest engine in an estate car?

[Garlick]

Just wondering. AMG Merc? Audi? Yank tank?

[LHD]

27-litre Merlin engine.

What do i win?

Sultan of Brunei Bentley Turbo R 4x4 estate, 6750cc.

Yes I know it isn't a regular production car.....

Not sure anything will top the 27ltr Merlin, but the latest M5 must be somewhere near the top?

Well the Volvette has a 7.0 LS1 if i remember correctly

OK, so let's add some rules. It must have been in mainstream(ish) production and readily available from a showroom.

[Scootersp]

Chrysler SRT-8 Touring 6.1L ?

[yorkshire]

In current production, something like the C63AMG Estate, 6.2L V8, nice..

[schmalex]

C63 or E63 must win the largest current engine in a production estate car

[Garlick]

Doesn't have to be in current production!

I don't know the answer by the way

[Puddenchucker]

I believe the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser had a 455ci (7.5) V8:

[Oelholm]

Surely some sort of Yank tank?

[Pothole]

Ford's Gran Torino Station Wagon had a 429 (7 litre) V8 option in the 70s

The Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser was available with a 455 (7.5 litre) also 70s

[Eggman]

If we're talking mainstream, the '73-'78 Ford LTD station wagon must be pretty hard to beat - a humdrum family car available with a 460 cid (7.5 litre) engine.
