Mercedes press release :
Affalterbach – A
best-seller unveils its updated exterior: the ML 63 AMG, featuring a
powerful 375 kW (510 hp) AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine, takes on a more
attractive appearance thanks to some subtle but effective changes.
From the front, the eye is immediately drawn to
the new bonnet with power domes, and the darkened bi-xenon headlamps
with active light function. The rear, meanwhile, also contributes
appropriately to the new look: the performance SUV now features darkened
tail lamps incorporating a clear-lens design and LED technology. The
subtle changes to the exterior coordinate perfectly with the high-gloss,
chromed front and rear underguard, and afford the ML 63 AMG an even
more powerful and distinctive appearance.
Powerful and torque-laden AMG 6.3-litre
V8 engine
Still boasting a power output of 375 kW
(510 hp) at 6800/rpm as well as 630 Nm of torque, the ML 63 AMG is
capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds, and achieves a
top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited). At the renowned
International Engine of the Year Awards in 2009, the AMG 6.3-litre V8
engine took the top places in both the "Best Performance Engine" and
"Above 4 litres" categories.
As before, power transfer is taken care of via
the AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission with three drive
modes. The permanent all-wheel drive is decidedly sporty: the power is
split asymmetrically 40:60 between the front and rear wheels to provide
optimum agility. The AMG sports suspension, based on the AIRMATIC
package with air suspension, adaptive damping system ADS and automatic
level control all-round, provides dynamic performance combined with the
hallmark Mercedes long-distance comfort. The generously dimensioned AMG
high-performance braking system, which features internally ventilated
and perforated brake discs all-round, ensures short braking distances
and optimum resistance to fading.
The ML 63 AMG comes with 5-spoke AMG light-alloy
wheels, which are painted titanium grey with a high-sheen finish and
fitted with 295/40 R 20 tyres on the front and rear. As an optional
extra, titanium-grey-painted, high-sheen twin-spoke AMG light-alloy
wheels fitted with 295/35 R 21 tyres are also available.
High-quality interior with nappa leather
upholstery
As usual, the interior of the ML 63 AMG is both
functional and high-quality: electrically adjustable AMG sports seats
finished in nappa leather upholstery, with Alcantara inserts in the
shoulder areas and multicontour function and heating, are complemented
by the AMG sports steering wheel with AMG aluminium shift paddles and
perforated leather on the specially-shaped grip area. A nappa
leather-trimmed dashboard is also available as an optional extra.
The updated ML 63 AMG is available to order with
immediate effect and will be delivered to customers from July 2010. It
carries a price tag of 105,077 euros (incl. 19% VAT).
