Binz Stretches Out the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon

Dubbed the Binz Xtend, the custom E-Class estate first appeared at 2010's Essen Motor Show, standing 31.7 inches longer than the standard E-Class wagon.

At a total length of 224.4 inches long, the stretched wagon packs almost 19 feet of German luxury excellence - or about two feet longer than its big brother, the GL-Class SUV.The interior of the Binz Xtend features plenty of storage space and racing seats affixed with four-point harnesses... pretty funny when you consider that the stretched wagon has all the racing prowess of a big red barn.

A special X-Orange exterior paint is available for an extra charge, of course, while under the hood Binz will gladly base a customer's vehicle on any of a range of engines that Mercedes offers, straight up to the E63 AMG's 518 horsepower twin-turbocharged V8.The Binz Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate Xtend carries a price tag of €80,000, which, according to today's exchange rates, comes in at just under 100-large US.
