ML 63 AMG "10th Anniversary"
The successful
ML 63 AMG will shortly be launched as the especially exclusive "10th Anniversary"
variant. The 375-kW/510-hp top M-Class model fascinates with its striking
appearance and extraordinary standard features.
With the ML 63 AMG "10th Anniversary", Mercedes AMG is celebrating
ten years of high-performance SUVs. The ML 55 AMG with a 255-kW/347-hp AMG
5.5-l V8 engine, launched in 1999, is considered the trendsetter and founder
of an entire vehicle segment. The ML 63 AMG "10th Anniversary" jubilee model
was developed in the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO and showcases AMG's expertise
in catering to the wishes of individual customers. The experts at the AMG
PERFORMANCE STUDIO were also responsible for developing the new SL 65 AMG
Black Series, as well as Official F1 Safety Car and Official F1
Medical Car. The newly designed front end dominates the extraordinary appearance
of the ML 63 AMG "10th Anniversary": the bonnet with power domes catches
the eye, as does the radiator grille with fins painted Himalaya grey. A matching
Himalaya grey underseal and fog lamp fittings form a delightful contrast
to the exterior paintwork in metallic obsidian black, metallic iridium silver
and calcite white. Shaded Bi-Xenon headlights add the finishing touch to
the front view. Viewed from the side, the exclusive 21" AMG light alloy wheels
with a five-spoke design commands attention: the combination of Himalaya
grey paintwork and the high-sheen surface creates a lasting impression. The
10 x 21" AMG light alloy wheels are fitted all round with size 295/35 R 21
wide-base tyres. On the rear end of the ML 63 AMG "10th Anniversary", the
underseal in Himalaya grey mirrors the design of the front end. |
Exquisite two-tone nappa leather upholstery in
the interior
The AMG sports seats can be adjusted electronically, and feature a multi-contour
function and seat heating. A new feature is the exquisite two-tone nappa
leather upholstery available in two different colour combinations: black/alpaca
grey and black/beige. The AMG sports steering wheel is also two-tone, designed
to match the interior colour scheme. Perforated leather covering the grip
area ensures optimum handling, and the AMG switch paddles enable manual gear
changing. The exclusive tone is emphasised not just by the upper part of
the dashboard clad in designo leather and the black roof lining, but also
the charcoal poplar wood trim. The ML 63 AMG "10th Anniversary" will be available
to order in spring 2009; the first vehicles will be delivered to customers
in summer 2009. |
ML 55 AMG: Worldwide trendsetter and first ever
high-performance SUV
With the new ML 63 AMG "10th Anniversary", Mercedes AMG GmbH
is celebrating ten years of AMG high-performance SUVs. The ML 55 AMG, the
high-performing top model from the popular first generation of M-Class vehicles,
was launched in September 1999 at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt
on Main. As the founder of the new "high-performance SUV" segment, the ML
55 AMG quickly became a best seller in the AMG range of models. With a maximum
output of 255 kW/347 hp, an engine displacement of 5.5 litres and eight
cylinders, the ML 55 AMG offered a level of driving performance previously
unthinkable in this segment: it could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just
6.8 seconds, and had a top speed of 235 km/h. The extraordinary combination
of its superior drive train, greater offroad suitability, outstanding driver
comfort, unrivalled safety and generous interior delighted AMG customers
all over the world. Over 11,000 ML 55 AMGs were sold between 1999 and 2003. |
