Mercedes Benz ML 63 AM 2012

Mercedes-Benz is working double-time this year. While the standard version of the 2012 Mercedez-Benz M-Class is still being developed the year, the company is already testing the engines of the line’s high performance series.

The standard M-class series is set to be produced for the public by 2011. By the end of that year, 2012’s ML 63 AMG will sport Merc’s newly developed 5.5 liter twin turbo-charged model. The standard version of the M-series runs on a naturally-aspirated 6.2 liter engine.

According the AMG division of Mercedes-Benz, the 5,461cc V8 engine will be used in a variety of the company’s future car models. This engine produces 544 HP and 800Nm in standard form. If that isn’t enough, you can increase these figures to 571 HP and 900Nm with a performance pack upgrade.

There’s no official report yet on the performance of the bi-turbo charged V8 on the ML 63 AMG. Aside from the improved engine, AMG’s take on the new ML will also feature an upgraded suspension system, more powerful and bigger brakes, sturdier tires, and a cosmetic overhaul of both the exterior and the interior aspects of the model.

The standard version of the ML63 currently sports 19-inch wheels and high performance brakes from AMG. Because of its top-of-the-line suspension system on this muscle on wheels, the cornering ability of the 4-wheel drive is also impressive, to say the least.

Sporty additions like its multi-contour seats, sunroof and rear climate control, logic 7 sound and satellite navigation system make it a fast favorite for car lovers with cash to spend.

The model fetches an average price of $159,900 exclusive of the on-road costs and plus-options.

The G-wagon from Mercedes Benz is the counterpart of the H2 of Hammer or the Land Cruiser of Toyota. Looking at its potent specs, the vehicle really does not need any tuning but A.R.T. got to do what it needs to do. The tuning company comes up with another outlandish creation especially made for the Abu Dhabi Royal Family.

The AS55K Edition G55 AMG gets unique contours as they modified the aerodynamic components from front to rear and both sides of the vehicle. The carbon finishing of the different parts also give them a 3D effect. The suggestions of the royal family were incorporated into the design before the kits were manufactured.

The air vents also get polished stainless steal trimmings which certainly catches attention. Bi-xenon headlights, chrome tailpipes, and fog lamps were also added.

The interior gets a healthy dosage of excellent wood and leather. Carbon was also an integral part of the insides. The entertainment system was also customized to the desired specs and features of the royal client. A.R.T. also injected a custom steering wheel.

A.R.T. previously modified the SUV to a whopping 580 hp, pimped the body as well with carbon kits, and splurged the interiors with expensive additions.

Maybach revives another brand to capture the eyes of the most discerning car lovers as it will use the Zeppelin badge last appeared in during the 1930s. The manufacturer of ultra luxury cars also recently brought back the Landaulet.

The new 62 Zeppelin and Maybach 57 models will take the spotlight at the Geneva Motor Show. Car experts and lovers will surely have praises for the power plants of these vehicles. The Zeppelin sports a biturbo V12 6.0L engine that enhances the cars output by 28 hp or a total of 640 hp brute force. This makes the Zeppelin the most powerful Maybach to date.

Maybach consumers can request any paint combination that pleases their pockets and fancy but the special model is released on a standard two-tone finish using taiga black for the body trimmed with light brown rocky mountain variant for the car’s shoulders.

The new Maybach also comes streamlined mirrors and with rims on a shadow pain tone.

The interior, as expected, will be an epitome of luxury. Fit for comfort and style, the interior blends Stromboli leather in black with California beige scheme. The trim is very fancy on piano lacquer finishing while the dashboards and door panels are done with well crafted stitching. All carpets are made of lambskin.

Maybach also puts as an option a $5000 worth of perfume atomizer made of Plexiglass that can rest stylishly on the center panel of the rear console. This package comes with custom made perfume from Girvaudan that can make the smell of the cabin heavenly.

The Zeppelin is up for grabs for early car lovers as the company will be accepting orders as early as March 3. The cars are expected to roll out of the assembly line by September. Only 100 units will be produced.

The Maybach 57 Zeppelin will have a sticker price of approximately $523K while the Maybach 62 Zeppelin will be around $609K.
