The upcoming M-Class was photographed last week while undergoing high-speed testing on the Autobahn. Although normally not driven on public roads in the daylight, these pictures were taken during one of the rare times these vehicles left their secured proving grounds in Germany, and our spies managed to shoot several prototypes of the future Tuscaloosa, Ala.-built soft-roader.
The 2005 M-Class will be of unibody construction. Standard features will include a brake-by-wire system borrowed from the SL and the COMAND II satellite navigation system, as well as a multi-function steering wheel. Options will include computer-controlled air suspension.
The new M-Class will be offered with a variety of engines, ranging from a 170-horsepower common-rail diesel V-6 all the way up to AMG’s 5.5-liter V-8 with an estimated 388 horsepower.
