No the ML63 AMG is the fastest according manufacture the car runs 0to 1000 m in only 23 seconds , The Turbo does only that in 25 second.Remember a car is not the best because it givces you the most of HP, but the ratio between weight and hp is much more important it tell if the car is sporty or not.the ratio of the cayenne Turbo S is 4,6 and the ML 63 is 4.52.I guess if you put down the speedolimiter on the AMG you can go faster than the Cayenne.

DON'T JUST MEMORIZE AND COMPARE THE BROCHURES PLEASE....according to the experts' review ML63 AMG is much better in performance than the cayenne turbo S. ML63 AMG's grip and handling is tremendous which gives this SUV the edge. Raw speed and horsepower is not everything- it needs a combination of many other factors (such as handling, weight, etc).
To make this issue more clear to you guys-
ML63 AMG has -510bhp whereas the Mercedes CLK63 AMG has 481bhp
but that doesn't mean that ML63 AMG can beat this sports car CLK63 AMG. By analyzing the specifications' of two cars you can't decide the Ultimate car.

...and regarding the topspeed if you just don't take the speedlimiting chip by spending some extra money on the ML63 AMG it can have a way better topspeed than the cayenne turbo S.

You can never say if the Bengal Tiger is cool or the Lion , both have their own ways of defining glory, presense and power. BHP in a car is very relative from one to another. But if I was given a choice of taking one over the other I would take the ML63 in a heart beat, thinking of Bangladesh scenario. Main reason the TURBO S runs on like 20 PSI turbo which needs almost 100 octaine which we WILL fail to provide resulting poorer performance of the car in the future. But if I lived in California on a cliff house in Santa Monica with twisted hill roads cornering the pacific ocean, then there is no car in the world would suite better than the CAYENNE TURBO S.
Tiger or Lion I like both of em.....maybe just in different forests...

The ML63 also has the new 7G-Tronic gearbox compared to the Cayenne Turbo S' 6speed. The shorter gear ratios should give it better acceleration at all speeds, not only from 0-100km/h.
