For certain reasons, we hadn’t brought home a Mercedes-Benz in over three years until this one, but it is interesting that the last Merc we fully tested back in 2009 also happened to be an ML 63 AMG. This new one is a fair bit different though.
My first car was a 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6 with an original AMG appearance package. I bought it in 2004, but back in 1990, AMG was an independent tuner specialising in Mercs, with the occasional work done on other brands. Eventually, Mercedes-Benz and AMG became partners, and then AMG completely became a subsidiary of the three-pointed star. Things have changed a lot since then, or maybe, things haven’t changed at all. AMG-badged cars continue to be hyper-active versions of regular luxury cars, but they are more powerful than ever. The latest cars we’ve tasted from the new-generation AMG line-up include the ML 63 AMG,
The latest masterpiece from AMG, the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, is the all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, which debuted at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show as well as the 2011 Dubai Motor Show.
Mercedes-Benz will launch their redesigned 2012 M-Class at the end of this summer, with three engine choices, two diesel and only one petrol. The M-Class will be initially offered in ML250 Bluetec, ML350 Bluetec and ML350 BlueEfficiency variants, with hybrid and AMG versions coming later.
Mercedes-Benz has issued a recall for brand new 2011 E-Class, M-Class, GL-Class, and R-Class models in the U.S. due to leaky fuel filters.
