Just days after Mercedes-Benz revealed the new M-Class SUV here at the Dubai motor show, the company’s Stuttgart headquarters released information on the new M63 AMG ready to go on sale in mid-2012.
The BMW X5M and X6M rival will bank on 525bhp, about 30 horses less than Munich’s SUV monsters, courtesy of the new 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine which also produces a hefty 700Nm of torque. Both these figures represent an increase of 15bhp and 70Nm over the old model.
Naturally, this being AMG, customers will be given the choice of a special package that boosts power to 557bhp and 760Nm of torque, and you’ll notice that this is neatly 2bhp more than the X5M produces.
