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.

Sunday Drive: Volvo hits a crossover home run, and people still love sports cars
Sun, Sep 24 2017Looking back at the week that just was clearly tells us at least three things. First, crossovers don't have to be boring. Second, people still love sports cars, from the attainable (Audi TT RS) to the fanciful (Mercedes-AMG GT C). And finally, the traditional German trio of premium luxury brands had better not rest on their laurels, because credible challengers are coming in from every direction. The biggest reveal of the week, at least judging by the interest of Autoblog readers, was the Volvo XC40. Not only is the little 'ute a looker, it introduces some innovative new buying/leasing schemes designed to appeal to an audience accustomed to trading in and trading up every couple of years. Think of Volvo's flat-fee lease as you would a smartphone contract, and you'll be on the right track. Genesis looks to have a hit on its hands in the form of the G70 sport sedan. We took a Korean-spec model for a spin and found a lot to like about the upstart contender. We can't wait to sample one here in the United States to see how it stacks up against the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In other news, we're still really excited to see a production Ford Ranger Raptor. But if you just can't wait for the official reveal — it's OK, neither can we — take a look at the renderings in our post down below. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. Volvo XC40 revealed | Crossover at the crossroads of style and substance 3 ways the Volvo XC40 is a game-changer Genesis G70 First Drive | An arrow to the heart of the Germans 2018 Audi TT RS Drivers' Notes | Five pots of turbocharged honey 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C Quick Spin | This is the AMG GT you want The Ford Ranger Raptor is real, and this is what it might look like
Brabus luxes up new Mercedes V-Class
Mon, Jun 1 2015Looking for a luxury coach to get you around town in style and comfort, but don't need anything as big as a Sprinter? Mercedes will gladly point you towards the smaller V-Class, trading Stateside as the Metris. And now Brabus has released a full array of customization options for the van as well. The list of modifications available from the venerable Benz tuner include an aero kit to give the van a sleeker look while reducing front-end lift, a full complement of 18- and 19-inch wheel options, a retuned suspension, engine enhancements, exhaust upgrade, and a fully refitted interior. The first-class cabin on this show vehicle has been reupholstered in leather and Alcantara, offset by wood and carbon-fiber trim, and a complete entertainment system. It includes a pair of 15.6-inch LCD screens that drop from the headliner and WiFi. Finally, there's a touchpad integrated into the interior C-pillars to operate the system as well as the lamps, heated seats, power windows and curtains, and the sliding doors. Accommodation is clearly the emphasis here. But Brabus being Brabus, it has also optimized the BlueTec four-cylinder turbo diesel engine to produce 44 more horsepower and 52 pound-feet more torque. With output now up to 232 hp and 376 lb-ft, the van will reach 62 miles per hour from a standstill in 8.8 seconds and top out at 130 mph – and look that much slicker in the process.

BRABUS upgrades the people mover with powerful engine tuning, an exclusive appearance package, tailor-made wheels and an individual entertainment concept. A sporty-elegant design is the trademark of the BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement kit for the new Mercedes V-Class and Vito. All components are manufactured from PUR in OEM quality, giving them a precise fit and making them easy to paint. To give the vehicle an even more distinctive face, the BRABUS designers have developed attachments for the side air intakes, which can be complemented with auxiliary LED side markers, and a front spoiler that attaches to the lower section of the bumper.
The first trailer for Top Gear's 24th season shows a hands-free drag race
Tue, Dec 27 2016In the excitement over Amazon's new motoring show, it's important to remember that there's a certain series from the BBC that's attempting to get its mojo back for a 24th season. Yes, we're talking about Top Gear. Since Chris Evans' departure earlier this year, Top Gear news has been relatively sparse, particularly as The Grand Tour and its hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond seized headlines. But on Christmas, watchers of the series' YouTube channel caught a glimpse of the first scene from the next season. Featuring hosts Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid in what looks like a trio of old, dilapidated cars. We're thinking TG is running a taxi comparison. There's a London black cab and a Mercedes-Benz W210 – a favorite of European cabbies – but we aren't sure where Harris' boxy wagon fits in. Did the Volvo 850 Estate ever serve as a livery vehicle? But it's the basis for this comparison that's weird, because the hosts appear to be having a no-hands drag race. The cars veer off in different directions, traveling across what looks like a snow-covered dirt lot. We're assuming hilarity ensues. And while we don't quite know what they're hoping to accomplish, we are looking forward to watching it go down. Top Gear's 24th season doesn't have an official air date, and the video ends only with a cryptic "Coming Soon." Expect to hear more in the next few months.
