New ML 55 AMG, around spring 2005, power is rumored to be in the 460 HP range.
"If necessary even more".
The picture is a computer enhanced image which shows how the ML55 could look alike.



VW also plans a VW Touareg R60 with around 500 HP.

And now the interesting part for you guys:
rumors indicate a Cayenne Turbo S with "over" 500 HP by late 2005. At the same time, the power on the "standard" Cayenne Turbo is rumored to be upgraded from 450 HP to around 480 HP. Right now, Cayenne prototypes with around 600 HP are driving around Germany...Porsche wants to be prepared for the SUV wars.

A personal opinion: all these babies eat a lot of fuel. I truely hope that the highly probable Iraq war won't raise fuel prices rocket high over the next few months and years. This might put an end to the high power SUV development.
