The body of a thoroughbred with the soul of a speed demon – the 2012 ML63 AMG
Published Thursday, 05 January, 2012 by Blog Admin. Categories: New Inventory.
How do you make one of the world's greatest high-performance luxury Sport Utility Vehicle? Step one: Start with the latest generation of the most celebrated mid-size luxury SUV on the planet: the all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class. Step two: put it in the hands of Mercedes-AMG -- the inventors of the high-performance SUV. Step three: hold on tight.
The all-new ML63 AMG produces 518 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque from its new, hand-built 5.5-liter biturbo V-8 AMG engine -- with a boost to 550 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque through the available AMG Performance Package. In both cases, that prodigious power is harnessed by the advanced AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7-speed automatic transmission, which helps make the all-new ML63 AMG capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.7 or 4.6 seconds*, respectively.While those performance figures are remarkable on their own, even more extraordinary is the efficiency with which they can be delivered. Thanks to innovations including spray-guided direct injection and an "ECO start/stop function" that shuts down the engine when the vehicle is stationary, the all-new ML63 AMG is nearly 30% more fuel efficient than its predecessor -- while increasing output by 15 horsepower and 51 lb-ft of torque in its standard configuration.Beyond power alone, the all-new ML63 also offers the exceptionally responsive handling, outstanding ride comfort and precise road feel that defines the Mercedes-AMG approach to high performance. The rigid, unibody structure of the M-Class -- a crucial starting point for superior driving dynamics -- receives the formidable combination of the AMG sport suspension with AIRMATIC air suspension and the Adaptive Damping System, paired for the very first time with the new ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM for active roll stabilization. The result: a suspension that adapts almost instantaneously to driving conditions, both absorbing bumps effortlessly and keeping the ML63 flat through corners. Add standard, 4MATIC all-wheel-drive technology with electronic traction control, electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering and an AMG high-performance braking system with ventilated and perforated brake discs at all four corners, and you've got all the ingredients of an SUV that handles just like a sports car.At Mercedes-AMG, handcrafted performance means far more than just extraordinary power and handling. Besides exclusive AMG bodywork, the exterior of the all-new ML63 features 20" five-spoke AMG alloy wheels in a high-gloss titanium grey and two sets of twin, chrome tailpipes to help provide the distinctive sound of an AMG eight-cylinder powerplant. Inside, the craftsmanship becomes even more evident -- from the AMG power sport seats covered in double-top-stitched designo premium leather, to the AMG Performance steering wheel with perforated leather grips and aluminum shift paddles, to the exquisite leather-wrapped dashboard.The all-new ML63 AMG is not without the lion's share of creature comforts, either. Heated and Active Ventilated Seats, PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist and standard Premium 2 Package -- including A 14-speaker harman/kardon LOGIC7® surround-sound system, and the Mercedes-Benz COMAND system with hard-drive navigation, enhanced voice control, Bluetooth® audio streaming -- are among the amenities that come as standard equipment in the luxurious but sport-minded cabin.The fact is, attempting to create a high-performance luxury SUV that lives up to every part of that moniker is an audacious act in itself. But actually succeeding is a triumph few will ever lay claim to. Suffice to say that for the third straight time, the AMG interpretation of the legendary M-Class is as triumphant as ever.Call today to get more details about the 2012 ML63 AMG that is coming soon to Walter's -1-800-952-4007

The all new 2013 SL550 Roadster
Published Tuesday, 17 January, 2012 by Blog Admin. Categories: New Inventory.
Since its debut in 1952, the SL has fueled the very idea of the roadster onward, repeatedly setting the standard for what a luxury sportscar should look like, feel like and even sound like. Now, the shape of things to come has arrived yet again -- in the form of the all-new 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster.
As with every SL that's come before, we've infused our all-new flagship roadster with every last iota of Mercedes-Benz experience and expertise, starting with the vehicle's advanced spaceframe construction. Composed of nearly 90% aluminum, its chassis is both lighter and more rigid than the high-strength steel frame of its celebrated predecessor. And the result is not simply better fuel economy, but even more responsive handling and sharper acceleration.Speaking of acceleration, the next-generation SL can rocket from 0 to 60 miles per hour in a mere four and one-half seconds, courtesy of a 4.6-liter biturbo V-8 engine featuring high-pressure Direct-Injection technology and rapid-multispark ignition that can fire up to four times a millisecond. In short, it delivers greater power -- 429 horsepower and a staggering 516 lb-ft of torque -- along with even greater efficiency than the powerplant it replaces.But the all-new 2013 SL550 isn't just quicker, stronger and lighter -- it's also smarter. The standard AGILITY CONTROL suspension continually adapts to driving conditions by recalibrating the shock absorbers based on input from the road, as selectable "Comfort" and "Sport" modes allow you to match the ride characteristics to the mood.As for the exterior of the next-generation SL, every square, seductive inch of its forebear has been revisited, producing a more aggressive front end, broader shoulders and an elongated silhouette. What remains unaltered, however, is the SL's instant and enduring appeal -- as well as the signature retractable hardtop that enables you to go from closed coupe to open roadster in just 20 seconds. And what you'll find inside the two-seat cockpit is every bit as appetizing: Offset by standard contrast stitching, new sculpted sport seats designed specifically for the SL face deep-cowled instruments and an exquisite center console housing the latest in infotainment technology. The meticulous attention to detail extends even into the realm of audio. Through our all-new FrontBass® technology -- in which bass speakers are incorporated into the footwell section of the bodyshell for added resonance -- low tones remain rich and audible even during top-down driving.It´s been nearly 60 years since the first SL took shape, inspired by a hard-nosed Mercedes-Benz racecar that took the racing world by storm in 1952. And with each subsequent generation, our flagship roadster has embodied the seamless intersection of timeless luxury and cutting-edge performance like no other car on the road. The all-new 2013 SL550 is no different -- except that now, everything is different again.Call Walter's today at 1-800-952-4007 to get more information on how you can be the first to see the all new 2013 SL550 Roadster.
