Multiple modes. The quick response of its 7-speed AMG
SPEEDSHIFT transmission is enhanced by three selectable
shift modes and rev-matched gear changes. The full- time
4matic
all-wheel drive features an AMG-specific transfer

twin 5-spoke wheels reveal a glimpse of the massive AMG
brake hardware. Even more aggressive 21" 5-spoke wheels

the ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM. Electro-hydraulically variable

numerous engine components raises output to 550 hp and

Red brake calipers, a carbon fiber engine cover,
and a steering wheel with DINAMICA side grips highlight
the performance pedigree of this rare thoroughbred.
The heart of an ML 63 AMG is its engine — a work of modern art crafted by the hands of its own master engine builder, and crowned by a plaque bearing his signature. The soul
of AMG traces to an old German mill in 1967, where two former Mercedes- Benz engineers set out to handcraft champion racecars. Success on the track inspired them to apply their
unique performance pedigree to streetgoing Mercedes- Benz models. More than 45 years later, virtually every facet of design and development — from transmissions, suspensions
and brakes to the distinctive cockpit appointments — remains a seamless alignment of hands -on experience and high-performance engineering. More than a motto, “One man, one
engine” is a guiding principle in creating an automobile — and a startlingly capable SUV — that can satisfy both the highest demands of driving and the deepest desires of its driver.
