Exclamation Kleemann Twin-Turbo 63 AMG engine is out!

Kleemann has installed a twin-turbo system on an ML63 with full exhaust and brake system... so you know this can only mean that it will very soon be available for all 63 models! 800 horsepower guys! Imagine the C63 with this setup! Or an SLK black series!
Also lots of S63 and CL63 and CLK63/E63/CLS63 owners will probably want this for sure!

wth??? out of all the models to twin turbo first they chose the ML

And only a 4 second flat to 60? And limited to 300kmh...?

uhh... I guess everyone is right, Mercedes is falling behind considering a stock GTR would kick the sh... out of this thing. what a shame...

those numbers are pretty good when you consider the ML's weight and how UN-aerodynamic it is.

in an E class or C-class perhaps it could reach the full 200mph.

Meanwhile a stock delimited E55 could do the same top speed...

The horsepower and torque are great and all....but they mention that they didn't modify the transmission as they determined it to be able to cope with the artifically limited torque of 738 lbs-ft (1000NM). Obviously Kleeman isn't a bunch of amateurs, but I am a little skeptical of their transmission claims when M-B and AMG are unwilling to hook up the 7-G to the equally torquey 65 engine.

this came out about a month ago or so. I talked to kleemann and it is a one off for a guy in dubai. No real test have been done on this if I recall and they have no plans to sell/make this kit at this time. I think the guy just wanted it for shows and to help sell kleemann in dubai.

it a SUV running 4 seconds thats rediculous, 4 seconds might not be as fast as you would like to see on paper but try keeping an SUV at that wieght with that power on the road that thing is going to be retarted. Cant wait to see what they get out of the E63 or C63. Kleeman might be killing that brabus bullet

I understand that the 65s also have upgraded drive shaft and u joints to handle the torque over the 55/63s not to mention the torque converter.

Sounds too simplistic to be good. Just my $.02.
