There were a few chops of a shooting brake 86. I'd trade in mine for one in a heartbeat.

No idea
It's the road I always use but first time I saw it

It all started with a phone call. Back in April when I was planning out a few Speedhunters Dream Drive stories, I called up my friend and regular Alpine pass expert Martin for ideas for the potential routes worth featuring. I remember him vaguely mentioning a petrolhead friend of his, Michael, who owns a Porsche 996 GT3 RS. With only 682 built, it is quite a rare car, so on the eve of one of the German public holidays a couple of weeks back, I rang him up and asked if he could arrange to meet me the next day.



I knew we were going to have an exciting day when the trip idea was green-flagged within a couple of hours, but as soon as I arrived at the meeting point next day on the outskirts of Zurich, there was a second car in the lot – a Mercedes Benz C63 AMG wagon. Both of the cars are owned by Michael. One is the daily driver, the other the track tool. I’ll let you take a guess at which one is which…



After a short brainstorming session, we decided to take a run up Klausen Pass which is a tight mountain road that cuts through some amazing scenery and sleepy villages. The route started from the town of Glarus and wound its way up and down the mountainside and ended the approximately 40 miles (64km) later in Altdorf. But there was little time for looking at maps – we had two cars and some challenging corners to carve.















Our trip came to a conclusion in the town of Linthal nestled in the valley. The unexpected end to our planned drive had me wanting for an experience of the full extent of the Klausen Pass. Which, of course, leaves me without a choice. I’ll be back. And soon.

Amazing! Might need to update my wallpaper.

Good god...

I caught this show on the plane the other day "R U Faster than a Redneck" on SpeedTv. Some guy with an S4 Avant smoked a hillbilly in his 575HP Camaro. It was awesome.

Yumcha

What a rear...

West6MT

Wish we got the higher performance wagons here.

Chief F1 Fan

no shit Steve-I just checked Audi and MBZ, neither offer anything close to that in the US. You used to be able to get an AMG63 Shaggin' Wagon but looks like no more.

00TL-P3.2

I think they just haven't updated with the '14 E63 wagon. Unless it's not coming stateside, in which case .

Because:

Yes please.

^Agreed, I love the new E-class estate. Plus the S-Model has 577hp/590tq with AWD

Yumcha

And of course, who can forget the good ol' Subaru...

Of course it would be a shame to go through all the trouble of the RS4 conversion without also introducing the car to some newfound horsepower. JJ equipped the S4′s bi-turbo V6 with a complete Tial 605 turbo upgrade kit, Evolution Racing intercoolers, and RS4 Y-pipe and a few other bits to get the already powerful car moving down the road with authority.


With the current set-up dialed in with 25 pounds of boost, the car has put down an impressive 400 horsepower to the wheels – a perfect number considering the fact that the Audi sees daily use.




Including a pair of Recaro/Prodrive bucket seats done in a pure 1990s style confetti pattern. As strange as it may sound, the multi-colored seats actually look right at home in the Avant’s cockpit.


One of the first things JJ actually did after he got the car was install a smaller diameter flat bottom steering wheel from a Euro-spec B7 RS4. Again, another subtle detail that looks very factory in its execution.


One thing that was very important to JJ was that the car’s audio and air suspension equipment not interfere with cargo space or make for a cluttered look. The air components are tucked away under panels, as is the audio equipment, thanks to the work of a shop called Lux Motorwerks.




Now some high res

Not a fan of bags or the wheels but it is a really nice example.
