On those curves, the AMG sports suspension based on AIRMATIC "ensures high cornering speeds, precise directional stability and low levels of body roll while providing excellent long-distance comfort," Mercedes promises. The air suspension features AMG-specific damper struts and the specially configured adaptive damping system ADS. A level control system automatically lowers the suspension at higher speeds.

Contact with the road and other surfaces is made through 295/45 R 19 wide-base tires wrapped around "high-sheen 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a five-spoke design.

This wheel-tire combination "not only impresses with its muscular appearance," says Mercedes, "but also ensures that the sporty performance is translated to the road."

The shortest possible braking distances are "guaranteed by the generously dimensioned AMG high-performance braking system behind the AMG light-alloy wheels, which features internally ventilated and indented brake discs all-round."

The exterior appearance of this model is supposed to "immediately confirm its special position in the range."

Sportiness is also meant to be "the order of the day in the interior of the ML 63 AMG." The exclusive interior features include AMG sports seats with nappa leather upholstery, alcantara inserts in the shoulder areas, a multi-contour function and heating, the AMG ergonomic leather sports steering wheel with gearshift buttons, AMG door sills, and stainless steel sports pedals with rubber studs.

The AMG instrument cluster is "equally dynamic with its AMG-specific lettering, red needles and 320 km/h speedometer scale."

In case all of this power and performance gets future customers in trouble, the ML 63 AMG "also meets the highest requirements in terms of safety," which means standard safety features that include the preventive occupant protection system PRE-SAFE, crash-responsive NECK-PRO head restraints in the front row, adaptive, two-stage airbags for the driver and front passenger, front sidebags, window bags and belt tensioners and belt force limiters for all the seats.
