e55
0-100km/h (62mph) = 4.81s
1/4mi = 12.94 @ 180.1km/h (111.9mph)
0-1000m = 23.26 @ 232.8km/h (144.7mph)
sl55
0-100km/h (62mph) = 4.90s
1/4mi = 12.90 @ 179.7km/h (111.7mph)
0-1000m = 23.32 @ 229.0km/h (142.3mph)

I dont get it.
I dont get it.
The ML63 is estimated at 2,016 - 2116KG = approx 4,500 - 4,600 lbs.
469/4200 = 0.11hp/lb
510/4600 = 0.11hp/lb
They have virtually the same power/weight ratio. That's how.
P.S-> We know the E55 is understated and power output is higher than 469hp.. I am assuming the ML63 is understated also.

On paper it looks like the ML63 will have the same power as the E55, but I would still say the E55 is the top runner.
But, if you need an SUV vehicle, that is going to be one hell of a rocket! I am seriously considering buying one for my wife!!

Gearing & HP
BoBcanada - The 63 motor, although it puts out less torque than the 55 Motor, what torque it does have is being efficiently multiplied by the gearing that AMG ended up with during the development of this package. Also the 63 motor has more HP than the 55 Motor and more HP will perform better on a long run like 1000m than more torque will. As far as around town driving goes more torque is the way to go (point and squirt ability). Also, when it comes to Mods., the 55 Motor will be far more cost effective to deal with than the 63 Motor will, and the 55 Motor's modded Torque/HP level will be way beyond the capability of a modded N/A 63 Motor.
Now, when MB does the 63 Turbo Motor, thats a whole different story, and I might add a very expensive story (+$ 50.000.00).

The test were done at different continents mate so it does not mean the ML is faster!!!!!!!!!!!
No test you ever see represents the true numbers, becasue there are none. They always depend on the day and conditions of the car, track weather etc etc etc etc.
