ML edition 10

[cl 600]

I'm thinking of changing my ML320 next year for the "Edition 10". Does anybody here know anything about the european spec of this limited edition model. I seem to know more about it than my dealer or MB Ireland!

Hello,


Doesn't supprise me that you know more than the stealers, I'm not sure myself but think I have seen a picture does it have the dark annodised wheels?

From what I remember it looks smart.

 

[cl 600]

Yes. It's available only in black or white (yeuch!) with 20" chrome or "shadow black" wheels. alledgely it will have a load of extra equiptment as standard but my searches so far have only turned up some info on the American spec where only 1000 are to be made available.

Do the stealers even have a brochure?

Maybe down load one off the American Merc Site?

worth a try or ring Mercedes Customer services

Good luck, sounds nice

Why oh why would it be produced in WHITE..!!? The only white ones are owned by either: The UN or, the 'Yo Bro, howz ya doin'? brigade.

Sounds a nice spec though - IN BLACK..

White will be for the US market.


Agree don't think white would suit an ML.

Yes. White is suddenly fashionable again. GTi Golfs etc. C class looks good in white.

Pity about the 20 inch wheels. Will ruin the otherwise excellent ride, which is a big improvement on the earlier model.

Mercedes is proud to celebrate ten years of production of the first modern SUV at its Tuscaloosa plant in Alabama with the release of the Edition10 limited series. The SUV gets special badging, 20in wheels, bi-xenon headlights, taillights with blacked-out surrounds, unique colors, a two-tone leather interior and stainless steel pedals.

During a presentation at the site on Wednesday, DaimlerChrysler boss Dr. Dieter Zetsche foretold that the Alabama plant will be a “major building block” for the new separate Daimler entity and that it is a big part of its future SUV program. This special ML-Class will be sold only to few lucky customers.

Mercedes-Benz is celebrating the 10th birthday of its successful M-Class, the top-selling premium SUV with 850,000 units to its name.
To mark the occasion, Mercedes-Benz is bringing out the attractive special Edition 10 model. The specification includes 20in wheels, bi-xenon headlamps and special bodywork highlights in titanium-look as well as dark-tinted tail lights. The sporty, refined interior features two-tone all-leather appointments, sports instruments and stainless steel sports pedals. The Edition 10 can be ordered from autumn 2007.

The Edition 10 is a fitting tribute to mark the tenth anniversary of the most successful Mercedes-Benz premium SUV. It recalls the market launch of the M-Class a decade ago, a vehicle now regarded as the pioneer of the premium SUV. Compared with the series-production models, the anniversary edition sporting the special Edition 10 logos on the wings features even higher-grade appointments and is instantly recognisable from the exterior, courtesy of its eye-catching design and engineering details.

Highlights include the 20in light-alloy wheels shod with 265/45 R 20 V tyres. Depending on the customer’s preference, the light-alloy wheels in gleaming silver provide an interesting contrast to the Edition 10 design - or blend in harmoniously with if the darkened chrome shadow finish is specified.

The darkened housings for the bi-xenon headlamps with Active Light System and identically styled fog lamps with integral cornering light function lend the vehicle’s front end an even more striking appearance. The package of measures at the front end is rounded off with a special radiator grille and simulated stainless steel underride guard, both in titanium-look. Dark-tinted tail light clusters, a simulated stainless steel underride guard in titanium-look and twin-pipe exhaust system with separate chrome tailpipes adorn the rear of the M-Class Edition 10.

Blue-tinted glass and special chrome trim elements on the door handles, rub strips, radiator grille and rear bumper add the finishing touches to the striking appearance. The special model is available in obsidian black, iridium silver or calcite white.

The two-tone all-leather appointments in cashmere beige and black create a contrast in the interior. The black roof lining, the sports instrument cluster and wood trim elements either in anthracite poplar or pale birch further enhance the interior refinement. Velour floor mats with an embroidered Edition 10 logo welcome occupants, while the driver can enjoy the special touch of brushed stainless steel sports pedals. Power-adjustable front seats and the interior lighting package round off the specification.

Standard equipment includes the seven-speed automatic transmission 7G-TRONIC with DIRECT SELECT, ESP, 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive and the 4ETS traction system with additional functions including Downhill Speed Regulation, hill-start assist and off-road ABS.

Difficult terrain is easier to negotiate with the optional Off-Road Pro engineering package, which includes a low-range ratio, electronically controlled multi-disc differential locks for the centre and rear differentials and increased ground clearance. Optional extras include the AIRMATIC air suspension system with the Adaptive Damping System ADS, the COMAND APS telematics system or KEYLESS-GO, all of which add extra comfort and convenience.

In addition to the powerful V8 diesel engine with its 700 Nm of torque in the ML 420 CDI 4MATIC, two superlative V6 diesel units are available. The V6 entry-level unit in the ML 280 CDI produces 190bhp, the ML 320 CDI develops 224bhp from the same displacement. The ML 350 and the ML 500 with the new 5.5-litre V8 unit bring two petrol versions to the line-up with outputs of 272bhp and 388bhp respectively.

Hello,


I agree that white does look very nice in some cars now (I posted some pictures on a seperate thread) however still think white on the ML is not suited.


Thanks for the pictures and info though
