Slightly bad quality, but you can see what the engine is capable of hauling up to 180mph, even if 6th and 7th gear are overdrives.

WOW. That looked very dangerous. The 63 engine is a monster.Top speed likely happens end of 6th. The SUV looked incredibly planted for travelling so fast. Thats as fast as I have seen anyone take the 63.

Guys, its the autobahn..this is how they normally drive!

Actually, in another thread, some guy telephoned AMG and asked what is the absolutely derestricted top speed and they replied: 191 mph. Now, for an engine to take the ML to that speed using only N/A technology, that is pheonominal. As for 300kph (186mph), I can't comment personally, but if AMG say its 191mph capable, then definitely yes.

I was told my CLS with ECU tuned for 93 would do 200+

That's crazy! At least these guys were smart enough to have someone else film and someone else drive, not both at the same time.

Juicee63, thats 191mph for the ML63.

I'm sure the other, lighter, more aerodynamic 63 cars may push 200mph...

Yes, in this video it is 180mph, but as another ML63 owner confirmed from AMG, they say it will top out at 191mph...
