| Nearly a year ago, Kleemann broke the world record in the category “fastest 4-door saloon in the World”. The KLEEMANN E55K (W210) drove an extraordinary 338 Km/h on the Mercedes-Benz owned Papenburg high speed oval. With Jason Watt, the Danish touring car champion 2002 behind the wheel of the ML55K, KLEEMANN has once again entered the record books. The high speed Nardo oval in southern Italy was the venue for a new record in the category “The fastest SUV in the World”. Sunday the 9th of Feb. 2003 at 11.55 am, the KLEEMANN ML55K was clocked at a remarkable 282 Km/h. Enough to surpass the existing record set by the Porsche Cayenne Turbo which was officially clocked at 266 Km/h. Considering the enormous 2400 kg girth of the ML55K, it also managed impressive acceleration times as seen below. KLEEMANN ML 55 K TOYO TIRES JAPAN supplied tires which coped extremely well with the incredible stress the ML55K was subjected to on the Nardo oval. KLEEMANN ML55K Engine: 5,5 V8 Kompressor BHP: 607 Torque: 750nm 0-100 Km/h: 4,9 sec. 0-200 Km/h: 18,9 sec. Quarter Mile - 402 Meters: 12,9 sec. - exit speed: 176 Km/h Tire: Toyo Proxes ST 295/40R20 114V 
Once again KLEEMANN cooperated with the Danish company Dynomet. Their dynamometers are 100% precise. And here you can see the curve and proof of the high speed World Record:
