Mercedes ML63 AMG

After a disappointing morning in Manchester yesterday (not a picture taken!) I decided to make the most of the nice weather (for once!) and go for a walk around Knutsford and Alderley Edge (Premiership football player territory) with the hope of a few snaps. I struggled to get started but with a bit a patience, I managed to secure a few nice shots, including an Aston Rapide, a Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe, an Audi R8 V10, a Maserati Gran Turismo, a Lamborghini Gallardo LP-560-4 and a few other nice surprises which will find their way into my posts soon.
However, before getting stuck in with any of the cars I have just mentioned, I will start with a type of car I am not the biggest fan of: SUVs. I know many people love them, Range Rovers in particular (as you can tell from looking at roads in Cheshire!) but the first SUV I am going to write about is the ML63 AMG. Why? Well because it is the first one I saw today, and also because my friend Maxime has been going on about the ML AMG for years (starting with the ML55). And as he turned 30 a couple of days ago, I thought I would dedicate this post to him (and all of you who love SUVs!)  
 

 
I spotted it on a street in Knutsford, it has a 5.5l biturbo V8 engine developing 525bhp. It is capable of reaching 62mph in just 4.8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155mph (250km/h)
Not bad performance for an almost 2.5t elephant!
