What is the 6.3 motor's redline? I've heard estimates as high as 8500 (Car & Driver), but I thought it was around 7250.

I was taking a real good look at the ML63 photos and couldn't help but thinking they might have went a bit overboard on the fender flares to get the extra clearance for those meaty tires. Almost looks sort of cheezy.. Anybody else care to comment?

Other than that aside, I think the ML is going to be the new king of the road.. Should be a killer ride.

Looks sexy!!!

"The Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG sets a new standard in the sporty off-roader segment. The new top-of-the–range model in the M-Class goes straight to the top of the competitive lineup with its 375 kW/510 hp AMG 6.3-litre V8-engine

I find it odd the ML is the first with the new AMG V8, although it sure does show the future for AMG, looks splendid!!! I can't wait to see numbers from Kleemann for the new powerplant!!

As cool as the car is, and probably will be, why does it look like a bunch of aftermarket Honda Civic quality add on parts?

It seems like none of the AMG package was designed to work together... ?

That's exactly my first impression. I've never seen so much body cladding and diametrically-opposed character lines throughout one vehicle. I mean just take good look at the fender/front-end area. Everything looks busy for the sake of getting noticed on this new ML63 which makes the ML500 look sleeker. Anyways, I like the specs although silver isn't the best color for this AMG version unlike the 2002 ML55 AMG I've owned in the past. It needs a darker color to clean up/hide some of the styling.
