It's hard to reach these results by ML, don't forget the weight.

The ML55 Lucas is talking about has been heavily modified in addition to the KLEEMANN tuning. This same vehicle routinely paces and pulls away from Porsches and Ferraris on a road racing circuit near Stockholm (whose name I cant recall at the moment).

Its a monster!

It's only 500Hp, Brabus ML with V12 7.4L and more TQ than ur car can't reach this numbers.

We tried a 55 ML modified by MKB kit (403 Hp) + 120Hp from Nos and we don't reach this result

Top Speed 260 Km/h on the Tacho
Acceleration 0 to 100 in 5.6 sec.


What is the heavily modified u use it in this ML

The owner of this vehicle had a position at Volvo. He has completely reprogrammed the ECM. Headers, camshafts, ex system, increased boost pressure, high volume fuel system to name a few.

A KLEEMANN kompressor will give greater TQ over a wider engine speed range than a hypertune system with NOS. 530hp with 715nm TQ in standard trim.

You take quite a bit on faith if you quote BRABUS power numbers- we have never seen a BRABUS engine produce the power claimed.

Looks really nice. Why Kleeman uses pink is beyond me.

Pretty soon, that will be the standard horespower for an SUV. With the Chevy Trailblazer Supercharged coming out, the X5s 4.6, and the Porsche Cayanne, power is becoming cheap and being thrown around like a cheap hooker on Sunset.

Which is why I can only hope the NEW E55 engine ends up in the 2004/5 Next Gen ML55!
That would make me jump to that SUV in a heartbeat.
