Kicherer and the Mercedes ML63 AMG

For some time we knew that the guys at Kicherer were working on something big, but we couldn’t have imagined that the chosen vehicle would be as large and beastly as the Mercedes ML63 AMG. In my opinion, it’s the least SUV of the Mercedes range, and now, thanks to a carbon-fibre body kit and oversized wheels, I doubt it can be driven along just any track.

Specifically, according to the press release from the tuner, this Mercedes ML63 AMG stands out above all for its matte black bodywork, a colour that extends to the 23-inch alloy wheels and even to the interior, and which pairs wonderfully with certain parts made of exposed carbon fibre.

Even so, perhaps the most interesting thing, once again, is what sits under the bonnet of this enormous SUV: the 6.3-litre V8 that comes as standard on this model has just been modified with a new engine control unit and an exclusive exhaust made of stainless steel, enough to deliver a maximum output of 540 hp and 640 Nm of peak torque.
