Kicherer has unveiled a new tuning package for the Mercedes ML63 AMG.

Dubbed the Carbon Series, the crossover features "carbon-leather," Alcantara upholstery, a foil wrap and 23-inch alloy wheels.

Under the hood, the 6.3-liter V8 has been equipped with a PowerConverter and a stainless steel sport exhaust system. This enables the engine to develop 540 PS (397 kW / 532 hp) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 30 PS (22 kW / 30 hp) and 10 Nm (7 lb-ft). Detailed performance specifications weren't released, but Kicherer says to expect "exciting acceleration" and a "maximum speed far in excess of 250 km/h (155 mph)."
