This Mercedes Benz M-series is the rare and exotic ML 63 AMG model. It has 503 HP and superb handling. It has been kept in excellent condition with regular servicing. It sailed through our multi-point safety and quality inspection. We are a family owned Honda Buick Hyundai Volvo Dealership in Billings, Montana and have been in business for 70 years, originally opening as a Buick franchise in 1944. Our owner, Bill Underriner recently served as Chairman of the NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) in 2011. We are heavily involved in supporting organizations within our local community. Car & Driver wrote: 2007 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMGMercedes-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.

Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.
Mercedes-Benz says no to price premium on S550 PHEV
Fri, Jun 19 2015The good news? Mercedes-Benz won't be charging any extra for the plug-in hybrid version of the S550 sedan compared to the gas-powered version. The bad news? The gas-powered version is really expensive. The S550 Plug-in Hybrid's pricing will start at a tidy $95,325, the same as the conventional S550, according to Cars Direct. For that price, buyers get a car that delivers 436 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque while having the ability to go as far as 18 miles on electric power alone, assuming that the driver in question isn't trying to use all 436 horses. But just in case he or she is, the car can also go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about five seconds. There's been no word on a fuel-economy rating from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) but the sedan gets 84 miles per gallon on the more lenient European driving cycle. It's unlikely to anywhere close to that stateside, but some folks still might feel they got their money's worth (ha ha) by adding a plug. The S550 Plug-in Hybrid goes on sale in California later this month. The model was first unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2013 and shown off at the Los Angeles Auto Show late last year.
