2007 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG

Mercedes-Benz's AMG division guns for the Porsche Cayenne Turbo by stuffing its new 503-hp naturally aspirated V-8 into a grocery-getter SUV.

Talk to anyone at AMG, and he will tell you the target vehicle for the ML63 AMG is the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Forget other sporty utes such as the Range Rover Sport, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, or the BMW X5 4.8is: AMG focused on one truck, and one truck alone. The ML63 was even developed on the fearsome Nordschleife of the N?rburgring, where it laps the 12.9-mile circuit in "about 8 minutes, 40 seconds." Not so long ago, that was a good Porsche 911 time.

6.2-liter naturally aspirated V-8
The heart of the ML63 is, like every product that comes out of Mercedes-Benz's wholly owned tuning subsidiary in Affalterbach, the engine. In this case, it's a 6.2-liter V-8 that is the first engine to be designed and built by AMG, rather than being a tuned Mercedes unit. The engine features a bedplate construction, wherein the crankcase is split at the crankshaft center line, as well as four valves per cylinder, bucket tappets, a variable intake manifold, and twin-wire-arc-sprayed cylinder bores, a new process that results in running surfaces for the pistons that are twice as hard as conventional cast-iron liners. The upshot is an engine that makes 503 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque — numbers that, coincidentally (or not), better those of the 5.0-liter V-10 used by arch-rival BMW's M division in the M5 sedan and M6 coupe.

Transmission, Suspension, and Wheels

The engine hooks up through a seven-speed automatic transmission that has manumatic shifting effected via the gearlever or buttons on the back of the steering wheel. The AMG transmission shifts 30 percent faster in sport mode and 50 percent quicker in manual mode here than in the ML500. Like the regular ML, power is transmitted to all four wheels, but in this application, the torque split is set at 40 percent front, 60 percent rear.

The suspension and the brakes have been beefed up to cope with the additional power over the ML500. AMG has modified the Airmatic air-spring suspension, making it 100 percent stiffer at the front and 60 percent harder at the rear, with special Bilstein damper struts all around. The suspension automatically lowers at higher speeds. Larger vented and cross-drilled brakes are fitted. The ML63 has 275//40 performance tires mounted on 20-inch  AMG rims.

Design and Styling

Aside from the sexy wheels, the ML63 is distinguished by an aggressive body kit. This features flared fenders, stainless-steel running boards, an AMG specific grille, deeper front and rear fascias with projector-style front fog lamps, and a pair of twin chrome-tipped exhausts. It makes the ML look a whole lot wider and meaner, which was doubtless the intention.

Interior

Inside, there's a chunky AMG sport steering wheel and sport seats that are covered in Nappa leather with Alcantara shoulder bolsters. Other racy touches include stainless-steel pedals with rubber studs and an AMG gauge cluster that incorporates a lap timer, just perfect for those lightning-quick trips to the mall.


Performance

And they will be quick. Mercedes claims the ML65 sprints from 0 to 62 mph in 5.0 seconds and will top out at an electronically governed 155 mph. We saw an easy 140 mph on a Spanish autopista, with the ML still spearing toward the horizon — and other, slower road users. At these speeds, you can almost see the gas gauge plummeting to zero because those 503 horses are propelling a large trucklike object that weighs 5094 pounds. The new engine is stupendous, with a strident growl under hard throttle and nearly instant response at any engine speed: 369 pound-feet of torque (or 79 percent of the maximum) are available from 2000 to 7000 rpm.

Road Manners

The ML63 actually feels like a Mercedes Benz of yore, in that it crushes the road surface into submission. It goes down the highway with real authority, in part due to meaty, well-weighted steering and in part due to damping that is firm but well controlled. We're not sure how well it will cope with broken pavement in the American Snowbelt, but it felt at home on the shiny new blacktop of Andalusia. The ML63 brakes with authority, too, and is super stable at speed.

Handling

On twisting mountain passes, it does amazingly well for a big truck — but you won't confuse its responses with those of a 911 or any other proper sports car. It rolls a bit more than a Cayenne Turbo and doesn't have quite the steering feel of the Porsche, but it turns in neatly, grips well, and is reasonably entertaining and very capable.

Conclusion

In reality, the AMG engineers are right. The only real competition to the ML63 AMG is the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, because BMW and Range Rover's top sporty utes aren't as hard-core and have less than 400 horsepower. Mercedes hasn't announced pricing yet, but AMG prices are typically 35 percent above the highest-priced model in a particular line. In this case, that would put the ML63 AMG at about $70,000 when it goes on sale this month, undercutting the BMW X5 4.8is and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.


Road & Track comments on the 2007 AMG ML63:

So, just how scorching is the new ML63? Well, this 5250-lb. heavyweight reaches *60 mph in 4.5 seconds* --- quicker than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. And in the quarter mile, its *13.0-sec. blast at 108.0 mph* bests all other SUVs we've tested.Its rumbly AMG-built 6.2-liter V-8 is a twin-plug naturally aspirated powerplant that produces *503 bhp at 6800 rpm and 465 lb.-ft. of torque at 5200 rpm*. Top speed is governed to 155mph. With large 275/40R-20 tires at each corner and 4Matic all-wheel drive sending 60 percent of the power rearward, the ML63 launches with authority, and active Airmatic suspension makes for a remarkably pleasant ride.Originally costing $87,375, the ML63 AMG wasn't cheap. But that kind of performance never is..With an incredible amount of torque, this vehicle begs for someone to love it! It's loaded with the following options: Dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors, Cruise control, Rear privacy glass, Cargo net, Front/rear stabilizer bar, Cargo management system, Sirius satellite radio, Intermittent rear wiper w/washer, Center console-inc: enclosed storage, large capacity dual cupholders, padded armrest, metal-trimmed lateral assist grips, rear 12V pwr outlets, low- intensity ambient lighting, AMG instrument cluster w/silver-color aluminum trim.

One year since accident, most of Schumacher's sponsors still on board

Mon, Dec 29 2014

It's been almost exactly a year now since Michael Schumacher suffered massive head trauma in a catastrophic skiing accident in Switzerland, and while details on his recovery have remained few and far between, we're sure his progress has been anything but easy. Meanwhile his sponsors have faced a difficult decision of their own: to continue supporting him financially despite getting nothing tangible in return, or cancel their contracts and suffer the blow to their public image as a result. According to Schumacher's longtime manager Sabine Kehm in speaking to news outlets like Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport, most of the imperiled former F1 driver's personal sponsors have remained by his side. The encouraging news updates on what we reported back in August, that Mercedes-Benz and German investment firm Deutsche Vermogensberatung AG were sticking with the champ through the hard times. Other sponsors, including helmet manufacturer Schuberth and watchmaker Audemars Piguet, are also believed to still be on board. Not all of Schumi's sponsors have stuck around, though. German bottled water brand Rosbacher reportedly broke off its contract with Schumacher back in July. And more recent reports confirm that Gaydoul Group fashion labels Navyboot and Jet Set canceled their sponsorship deal earlier this month. These and other contracts made Schumacher one of the world's highest paid sports figures and the first billionaire athlete in the world. Even in retirement, he was still making more than most active F1 drivers. While we don't know just how much he's pulling in during his recovery, here's hoping that his continued sponsors can find a way to make their support worthwhile – and that the champ makes a full recovery in the near future.

Mercedes unveils GLC350e 4Matic PHEV

Sun, Jun 28 2015

Mercedes-Benz intends to introduce at least 10 plug-in hybrid models to the market by 2017, and the the Mercedes GLC350e 4Matic is the latest one to show its electrified face. It's also the second crossover from the company to offer a PHEV version following the GLE550e 4Matic. Mercedes isn't releasing all of the details about the plug-in GLC yet, but it combines an internal combustion engine making 208 horsepower and a 114 hp electric motor with a seven-speed gearbox. Total torque is 413 pound-feet. The combo is enough to get the all-wheel drive crossover to 62 miles per hour in a purported 5.9 seconds and a claimed top speed of 146 mph. Fuel economy in the European cycle is estimated at the equivalent of about 90 miles per gallon, and there's a 21-mile pure electric range for zero-emissions cruising. Based around the newly introduced GLC-Class, buyers can still order a plethora of luxurious amenities, but the plug-in powertrain also comes with a few tweaks to help drivers maximize fuel economy. There's a haptic accelerator with a resistance point to indicate the switch between electric and combustion power. In addition, the hybrid system can anticipate the road ahead through radar and GPS to manage things as efficiently as possible. One of the GLC hybrid's biggest advantages when it arrives is the small field of competitors. Neither BMW nor Audi currently have a compact luxury crossover of this size with a hybrid option in the US. That really only leaves the Mercedes to take on the Lexus NX300h with total system output of 194 hp, and that's not even a plug-in. The GLC350e 4Matic isn't part of the new model's initial launch lineup in the US. It should be coming along later, though. Key topic: Energy efficiency - Economy on four wheels A revised all-wheel-drive powertrain, the outstanding aerodynamics and the intelligent lightweight design are the primary reasons for the high energy efficiency of all the new GLC models. The conventional diesel and petrol models boast significant reductions of up to 19 percent in both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in comparison to the previous generation, while at the same time improving performance.

Mercedes-AMG planning more hardcore A45 hot hatch

Mon, Nov 24 2014

The launch of the A45 AMG marked Mercedes-Benz's first real assault on the premium hot hatch segment. And with 355 horsepower from a 2.0-liter turbo four, it is indeed hot. But the latest word has it that Mercedes-AMG is planning an even hotter version. Speaking with Auto Express at the LA Auto Show last week, AMG boss Tobias Moers indicated that his department was toying with the idea of a more hardcore version of the A45. In what Moers referred to as a "street fighter," the A45's engine would be tuned to produce even more power, the cabin stripped out and the rolling stock, brakes and aero upgraded for more serious performance. Think of it, then, as something of a Black Series approach, only it's not expected to carry that name, which has historically been reserved specifically for two-door models. Given AMG's current list of priorities and limited manpower, though, Moers suggests it will be several years – likely towards the end of the model's life cycle – before it may prepare such a model, following a similar formula to the Mini JCW GP and Renaultsport Megane R26.R. Here's hoping an American version based on the CLA could also be in the cards.
