Since the info was leaked over the weekend, there’s not much new to report about the C 63 AMG wagon. There are, however, high-res shots of the warp drive-equipped station wagon available now, and they’re in the attached gallery.
In case you missed it over the holiday weekend, here’s a rundown on the essentials:

AMG 6.2L V8 producing 457 horsepower/442 lb-ft
Paddle-shift equipped 7-speed automatic
0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.6 seconds
155 mph top speed (electronically limited)
Full AMG appearance package inside and out
Up to 53 cubic ft of cargo space
One-touch opening and closing tailgate
European market launch in beginning of 2008
Price (inc. VAT): €69,853

Hopefully it doesn’t just stay in Europe, because this is one trick ‘lil wagon. We’ll get plenty of live shots and provide first-person impressions for you when it’s unveiled next week in Frankfurt. Mercedes’ full press release is included after the jump.
