Marking the 10th anniversary from the introduction of the first generation ML 55 AMG, Mercedes-Benz has revealed a pair of special edition ML 63 AMGs named "10th Anniversary" and "Performance Studio". While both models retain the factory 6.3-liter V8 engine that produces a hefty 510HP shooting them from naught to 100km/h (62mph) in just 5.0 seconds and on to an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h (155mph), Mercedes-Benz's AMG division has garnished them with distinctive bodywork details and an array of accessories.

The ML 63 AMG "10th Anniversary" which pays a direct tribute to Merc's first-ever high-performance SUV, the 347HP ML 55 AMG that was launched in 1999, features new engine bonnet design with power domes, radiator grille and Himalaya grey underseal for the front and rear end along with a set of 21-inch high-sheen light alloy wheels and shaded Bi-Xenon headlights with active curve illumination.

The second special edition version of the ML 63 AMG was developed by Merc's in-house "AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO" division that caters the wishes of individual customers. On the outside, the ML 63 AMG "Performance Studio" sports a metallic "Peridot brown" paintwork combined with 21" AMG high-sheen light alloy wheels painted in the same color as the car and a high-gloss trim strip on the belt line .

Moving into the interior, the anniversary model boasts a two-tone nappa leather upholstery on the AMG sports seats and AMG sports steering wheel in black / Alpaca green or black / light brown, while the upper part of the dashboard clad is in black designo leather. The black roof lining and the charcoal wood trim complete the changes.

The full nappa leather upholstery with a diamond pattern in a porcelain shade with black cording, together with the leather-wrapped dashboard, centre console and door trim in black and porcelain, the charcoal alcantara roof lining and wood trim finished in high-gloss black piano lacquer sum up the interior upgrades.via:carscoop
