Had an SL 55 derestricted and gave over 200mph does anyone know what ml 63 will do ?

Blue_Monster

Probably about 187 or so

elijah

Is that just a wild guess or did you get that info from somewhere??

Blue_Monster

I heard that if you delimit these cars in Europe, which is a factory option overthere, thats the top speed.

elijah

Yes its an option over here and a very expensive one. They are all limited to 250km/h and if i remember correctly an E63 owner payed 5000euros for them to move the limit to 270km/h.
Never heard of a "delimit" amg car.

BoBcanada

any big tunner can completely delimit your car. ML63 top speed? Lets see, i remember reading that cayenne turbo with folded mirrors reached 287 im lazy to look it up on the net ( i think thats where i saw a scan article of ML55,x5 4.6 and Cayenne turbo), so I'd assume ML63 top speed should be drag limited at around 295-300?

So anyway who is up for cheking it out?

Blue_Monster

I am, Just need to delimit it first. It goes 162 now, and it drives like its going 90 @ that speed. You can drink coffee in this thing going 160

P4MER

Just had it confirmed by AMG themselves 191mph !!!

Whoopsy

191? Wow, that's just about as fast as my 997TT, but it seems quite impossible with the shape and drag of the ML63, I would imagine it would take more than 500hp to push it to 191.

P4MER

i dont know whether it will but going to find out just arranging de-restriction before delivery !

kokanee

Hey P4MER Would it be impolite to ask how you got ahold of someboby at AMG that could answer that question. I can think of a few questions for someone like that!

AWDman

agree the cd of the ml63 is too high to achieve that kind of velocity.

Blue_Monster

Im getting my car Delimited as we speak, I wont mention what company it is until their done. I will do a high speed run for you guys on Video and well see just how fast this truck can go. It should hopefully be done the end of this week.

cool....

Blue Monster,

Need someone to hold the camera while you drive?

Rider1

My guess with no wind, on flat ground and close to sea level: 174 mph

Have fun!

When I went to Affalterbach in August, I was given the keys to a CLS55 - and th wording in the center of the contract I signed was "the speed limiter has been removed from this vehicle".I hit 278km/h....with alot left in it!

Blue_Monster

LOL. I know my GF wont want to be in the car...

I think it will do a little better than that. Im going to say 185@ the least.

AWDman

4th gear ratio 1.368, 5th 1.0, 6th 0.82, 7th 0.728. final drive 3.45. tires 295/40-20= circumference 92".
max speed @ redline 7200rpm 4th= 132 mph
5th= 180 mph.

max you can do is redline 5th if the vehicle can overcome drag at that point. there no way 6th gear will be good for speed it just too tall.

P4MER

You guys are all wrong the max speed is 184mph just clarified tonight on a derestricted ml63 . Flat ground,no wind,8 c ! 2300miles on the clock !

Whoopsy

wow. Cayenne Turbo tops out at 165 and the Turbo S at 168. That's quite a bit faster than both. We always knew the ML63 is better, didn't know it was that much better.

Blue_Monster

I was pretty close I said 185

kokanee

I wonder what the top speed of stinky's jeep is. Did you see this P4MER or do the actual driving. Im curious how the handling and braking seemed (even if it was just a straight line). Whoopsy- do you know if the CTT is electronically restricted to those speeds or red-line?

Rider1

I'm assuming that's what the speedometer indicated correct? I have found that my ML63's speedo is within one mph up to 90 mph. Haven't checked it above that.

That's an excellent top speed but I'm a little suspicious unless you had a GPS backup or better still a timed run. Or a friendly Leo with a radar gun

P4MER

have to say that it was a speedo reading,i was driving.must admit i didnt expect it to get to that speed ,must admit i didnt expect it to get to that ,maybe it was slightly inaccurate but not by anymore than 5mph!it got up their remarkably fast and was extemely stable felt very safe.their almost felt more left ! going to do another run with gps and vid at the weekend but i feel confident it can go quicker !
