For example, the V8 engine of 6.2 liter was revised and after the intervention of tuners received a more efficient cooling. Why? Because the power increased from 475 hp and 600 Nm of torque to 680 hp and 840 Nm. To meet the new demands and the exhaust system was changed. Following these changes, Mercedes-Benz 63 AMG Coupé takes four seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, and if you press the foot pedal accelerator, it can reach a top speed of 335 km/h.

Or at least, so say those from Väth. Maybe you’re curious to know how you will stop the car after you are deep planted in chair. The same thing have asked the German tuners that decided to install a high-performance braking system with discs of 380 millimeters, able to cope with the new demands.

No Comments »

When you say “SLK” you think, invariably, at the first coupe-cabriolet in the modern era of the automobile – the first generation of Mercedes SLK that has opened a niche with a huge success, the little German roadster gaining a great notoriety among the fans of life-style.

It is the time for the third generation, who grew up visible, and we could say, in a very successful way. The impression of sobriety is clear due to the prominent front and somewhat massive, which is part of the note back to the serious nature of lately Mercedes cars.

The new SLK seems to be like the Mercedes SLS AMG, as, like on it turn, Mercedes SLS AMG try to make the connection with the previous generation of Mercedes SLR McLaren supercar. However, the new SLK gauge stays true to the idea of compact.

Although it seems a more massive car that is more aerodynamic than the previous generation with a low cX at 0.30 (compared to 0.32, as it was before). In large part this is due to carefully designed roof joints and contouring back, so that as little turbulence created at the intersection of surfaces.

The interior of the car has a much greater attention to quality materials, with some critics in the past to the use of too much plastic. Now, metal inserts are used, have much better quality plastics and various types of upholstery leather and textile evolved. The interior ambiance is in line with the sober exterior, relying on symmetry and familiarity and ease of operation orders.

The upper part of the center console is dominated by a display color and the entertainment communications systems, on top of being found a small analog clock, a proof of high-life and noble character of the car. The space for two passengers has increased, and sports seats have now developed a AIRSCARF system (for heating the neck area). We can mention the attention to the interior lighting, which contributes to the impression of luxury.

Mercedes-Benz ML has always been a success everywhere. From 2005 until now have been officially sold 2118 units of which 40 were top versions of ML 63 AMG. Most versions have been sold but 320 and 350 CDI so that the new model is likely to sell best in six-cylinder diesel version. Although there is now a 250 CDI diesel version likely that most customers will prefer to spend more on the 350.

The optional list is obviously very long. A paint costs 1079 euro and the leather upholstery 1550, 1860 or 2294 euro. The optional packages think that will make headlines, especially on Edition1 that will completely transform the car like the SLK.
