The redesigned 2012 Mercedes ML 63 AMG is about to be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Mercedes just released a photo gallery and a video to celebrate it. The new sporty version of its well-known German SUV is powered by a twin-turbo AMG 5.5-liter V8 delivering 518 hp and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque, with a 0-100 km/h sprint time (0-62 mph) of 4.8 seconds and top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). However, an optional AMG Performance Package would boost its output to 550 hp and 760 Nm (560 lb-ft), trimming the 0-100 km/h acceleration from 4.8 to 4.7 seconds and providing the car with 280 km/h top speed (174 mph). This package also bundles an AMG Performance steering wheel, carbon-fiber engine cover and red brake calipers.

The ML 63 AMG features a new active roll stabilization system integrated into AMG sports suspension, which includes Airmatic air suspension, automatic level control and adaptive damping. Power is delivered to its four wheels through an AMG G-Tronic Speedshift Plus 7-speed automatic transmission that features three driving programs and a rev-matching function for downshifting. AMG sports suspension with Airmatic Air Suspension, independent damper struts, automatic level control and Adaptive Damping System (ADS) is combined with a new Active Curve System for anti-rollover stabilization. The new model will also boast a 33% improved fuel efficiency over its predecessor.

To complete the profile of this outstanding machine 20-inch wheels as standard, with 21-inch units available as an option, high-performance brakes, xenon headlights, full bodykit, illuminated sill panels, quadruple exhaust pipes and design premium leather trim. A distinctive instrument cluster with an integrated color monitor is also exclusive to the ML 63 AMG.
