2000 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG

ML55AMG, a high-performance version of its M-Class tweaked by AMG, a customizer that enhances other Mercedes-Benz models with performance and appearance tweaks. The model designations denote engine size. The ML55 a 5.5-liter, V-8 with 342 horsepower, which is three less than the Chevrolet Corvette. ML55 comes with a permanent 4WD system that automatically distributes power among the four wheels as needed. Mercedes says the M-Class is a true off-road vehicle. Wider fender flares, rocker panel extensions, chrome grille accents and fog lights integrated into the front bumper give the ML55 a unique appearance. The ML55 rides on 18-inch tires. Although the all-aluminum engine is capable of speeds of over 150 mph, on this drive it just provided a pleasant amount of grunt. AMG modifies the 5-liter overhead-cam V-8 through increased displacement. It was done by modifying the engine's crankshaft, allowing for greater stroke of each piston. The manifold was modified and electronics changed, all with the intention of increasing power. This ML pulls very strongly, with a smooth, surly growl to remind the driver that this is no ordinary truck. A five-speed automatic obediently clicks off the shifts, although manual shifting via a side-to-side activated shifter is standard. It's not needed however, as the autobox does a good job of reading the driver's intentions.
