Our keen-eyed spy shoots have managed to nab a few shots of the next-generation Mercedes-Benz ML (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/m-class), though the high-riding SUV is sporting different equipment from the last time we saw it. For starters, there are oil-drum sized cross-drilled rotors on all four corners. Something tells us the standard mom-mobile won't be needing galactic-sized stoppers, which leads us to believe we're staring the next ML63 AMG (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/30/introducing-the-expression-motorsport-mercedes-benz-ml63-amg-wid/) in the face.
We have next to no solid intelligence on exactly what's under the hood, so allow us to spread on a thick layer of rampant speculation. Our guess is that the engineers at AMG have likely blessed the SUV with the Silver Arrow's brand-spanking-new twin-turbo V8 (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/01/2011-mercedes-benz-s63-gets-smaller-but-more-powerful-5-5-liter/). At 5.5-liters, the engine dishes out a heady 544 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, though we wouldn't raise an eyebrow if final figures were slightly lower when the new ML lands at dealers. Throw in a massaged suspension and those meaty breaks, and you've got a winner all around. Sounds good enough to get us to soccer practice on time.
