The 2012 Mercedes ML63 AMG Teaser The 2012 Mercedes ML63 AMG Teaser

A week before the anticipated Los Angeles Auto Show, a teaser of the new Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG was shown on Facebook. With a message that says “Bring Sport Back”, it is being expected that the ML63 will be more than an SUV.

As you can see, this M-Class teaser is showing a glimpse of how the vehicle’s front will look like. Headlights with detailing and LED daytime running lights. Under the hood, it is reported that the car SUV will have a 5.5L, V8 engine that can produce up to 518 HP. Owners can also choose to pump it up to 550HP by getting the performance package.

This is just a teaser, BenzInsider will give you more details on this, as well as the other Mercedes cars that will be launched at the LA Auto Show next week. Just stay tuned.

Spied in Germany: the next M-Class SUV

by (RSS feed) April 29th, 2011 at 10:13 am

2012 Mercedes ML 755 597x398 Spied in Germany: the next M Class SUV

Daimler’s breadwinner, Mercedes-Benz, has been able to present a lot of new models recently, starting with the renewed C-Class, the C-Class Coupe and its accompanying AMG variant, and last but not the least, the SLK hardtop roadster. Now, news has spread that the German manufacturer is planning to roll out another round of new models beginning with the next-generation M-Class SUV.

Want proof? Well, here are some spy photos courtesy of a reader of Carscoop. Gal Leibovici was able to snap these pictures while he was in Germany during a trip. He was able to capture on camera what could possibly be the prototype M-Class on two very different days.

The first time that spy photos of the 2012 M-Class came about, the SUV was prepped up with bodywork from AMG. Underneath its hood purred a 5.5-liter V8 that is reportedly capable of more or less 530 horsepower. News is that the next M-Class will be offered with Mercedes-Benz’s newest line of gasoline engines, two to be exact – the 3.5-liter V6 and the 4.6-liter V8. Of course, there will be a variant powered by a V6 diesel, whilst forecasts of a hybrid model aren’t too farfetched either. So watch out for the Frankfurt Motor Show, guys. That’s because that is where this baby is set to make its debut appearance in public.

Spying on the next ML63 AMG

by (RSS feed) October 8th, 2010 at 5:42 am

2010 mercedes benz ml63 amg spy photos 12 4cacf8d8754aa 615x350 597x426 Spying on the next ML63 AMG

Interested in what the next generation ML63 AMG will look like? Well, here are a few spy shots to help you imagine. These photos show AMG’s flagship ML63 doing some testing in Europe. Don’t mistake these for a prototype that was spied upon earlier this year. This baby has larger cross-drilled brake discs behind even bigger sports wheels, while its rear has a characteristically ominous dual exhaust tail pipes.

Now, comparing it to the current model, this test mule seems to have quite a similar wheel base, although it has shorter overhands up front and back, as differentiated from a more compact 2009 model. But, as with any comparison, it always pays to look under the hood rather than anything else. Because that’s where the true character of a vehicle lies, whether new or old.

The new ML63 AMG will most likely be powered by Mercedes-Benz’s brand new 5.5-liter twin turbocharged V8 engine, thus providing basis for the flagship ML-Class model retaining AMG’s ’63′ badge. This engine features direct injection, and while it has a smaller displacement, it should be able to easily churn out 400kW power and 800Nm of torque, topping even the naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter engine’s 390kW power and 630Nm torque. Unbelievable? You better believe it.

MBUSA donating two ML-Class SUVs to automotive technology students

by (RSS feed) September 17th, 2010 at 12:13 am

100414 06 The M Class Final Line Mercedes Benz U.S. International Plant Tuscaloosa Alabama 597x396 MBUSA donating two ML Class SUVs to automotive technology students

Mercedes-Benz puts a premium on education, specifically automotive technology. That is why AT students at the Tuscaloosa Center for Technology, or TCT, will soon experience what it’s like to be working on cutting edge automotive technology. How is this possible? Through the generosity of Mercedes-Benz.

The company is donating a pair of their high-end premium SUVs, namely a 2006 ML500 and a 2006 ML350, to TCT to help students of Automotive Technology better understand the workings of a world-class premium vehicle. Painful as it may seem to some, the pair of SUVs will be disassembled, and reassembled, under the able hands of instructors and of course, the students, to expound learning of Mercedes-Benz technology. The donation in turn will prepare the students better for their future, specifically the challenges of job hunting.

MBUSA is not only making this donation, but the company is also going to share equipment and opportunities for TCT students to visit their state-of-the-art plant and training center in Tuscaloosa to help foster better appreciation of working with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Who knows? The very students may themselves get to work for Mercedes-Benz. As long as they work hard, they just might make it.

The pair of SUVs are set to be delivered on Friday, 10th of September at around 9 in the morning. The students better start sharpening their technological armada, and interest of course, in preparation for their arrival.

Spy Cam: The 2012 GL-Class under guise

by (RSS feed) September 8th, 2010 at 6:47 pm

spyshots 2012 mercedes benz gl medium 1 597x397 Spy Cam: The 2012 GL Class under guise

Some people find SUVs more exciting than passenger cars. Is it their sheer size or their calling for the off-road? Well, maybe it’s because they’re more practical when you’re carrying lots of cargo, including people. Whatever your reason may be, here’s something that might tickle your fancy—spy photos of the future GL-Class.

Yes, Mercedes-Benz is in the process of one-upping the current GL. Apparently, they don’t want to give first dibs to anyone about the details. But that won’t stop people like us from posting teasers. You are teased by spy photos, aren’t you?

The proto you see in the photos was captured in southern Germany, coming home to its development center after playing for some time outside the yard. There are hints that the next GL used a stretched ML platform as groundwork. So that just begs the question, “Will the new GL be using an ML engine?” Well, perhaps the 3 or 4-liter diesels, or maybe even the 5.5-liter gasoline engine. Who knows? It will probably also feature a 7G-Tronic 7-speed automatic tranny.

We can’t really be certain about any of this. One thing though—the photos suggest that Merc designers are trying to put a more friendly face onto the GL. That means more width and more aerodynamic potential. Heck, it has LED daytime running lights as well.

Date of potential release? Probably in 2012.

Just stay tuned folks. There’s still a lot of questions hanging about the next GL.
