The Mercedes 2007 ML63 AMG

The Mercedes 2007 ML63 AMGAMG, the high-performance division of Mercedes-Benz, has made the ML63 AMG one of the most powerful production SUVs in the world. The handcrafted V-8 engine pumps out 503 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of peak torque, achieving 0 to 60 mph in a breathtaking 4.8 seconds.

Specifications :

Engine AMG-built 6,208-cc DOHC 32-valve V-8. High-pressure die-cast alloy cylinder block. Alloy heads. Reinforced engine block, oil pan structure, pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, and valvetrain.

Fuel tank (capacity - reserve) 25.1 gal - 3.4 gal

Fuel and ignition system AMG-modified engine management system. Integrated sequential multipoint fuel injection and phased twin-spark ignition includes individual cylinder control of fuel spray, spark timing/phase, and antiknock. Electronic throttle. Two high-energy ignition coils and two spark plugs per cylinder. 100,000-mile spark plug intervals.

Transmission AMG SPEEDSHIFT™ 7-speed automatic. Steering-wheel-mounted Direct Select shifter provides convenient selection of Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive. Touch Shift with fingertip shift controls permits the driver to manually downshift and allows upshifts in Drive, via rocker buttons behind the upper steering-wheel spokes. Driver-adaptive programming adjusts shift points to the driver's current driving style. Selecting off-road driving program raises shift points automatically. Shift into Optimum Gear programming allows one-touch selection of the best gear for maximum acceleration or engine braking by holding a Touch Shift button in the downshift position for one second.

Drive configuration 4MATIC™ permanent 4-wheel drive with 40/60 front/rear torque split maintained via a single speed transfer case and center differential.

Front and rear axle ratios 3.46:1

Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR) Driver-activated DSR automatically modulates the throttle, brakes, and Antilock Braking System to maintain a preset crawl speed when descending hills. Speed is pre-programmed at 4 mph but may be adjusted between 3 mph and 10 mph via the multifunction steering wheel. DSR can be used when the gear selector is in Drive or Reverse. Driver can override DSR by pressing the accelerator or switching DSR off via its console-mounted switch.

Hill-start assist To help prevent unwanted vehicle rollback when taking off from a stop on an incline, hill-start assist automatically maintains brake pressure for approximately one second after the driver releases the brake pedal. The system is automatically deactivated when the vehicle is level, the gear selector is in Park or Neutral, or the parking brake is set.
