| Mercedes SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive |
The SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive made its debut at the Paris Auto Show today.
With the new SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive, Mercedes-AMG is entering a new era. The locally emission-free super sports car featuring advanced technology from the world of Formula 1 is the most exclusive and dynamic way in which to drive an electric car.
The entire project has been developed in-house by Mercedes-AMG GmbH with help from Formula 1 experts at Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains in Brixworth, UK. The SLS AMG features four synchronous electric motors providing a combined maximum output of 552kW (740hp) and maximum torque of 1,000Nm.
This means that the SLS AMG Electric Drive accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds, and can reach an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h. (huh) ?!
The most powerful AMG high-performance vehicle of all time has four electric motors producing a total output of 552 kW and a maximum torque of 1000 Nm.
As a result, the gullwing model has become the world##Q##s fastest electrically-powered series production vehicle; the SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive will be celebrating its market launch in 2013. The price in Germany (including 19% VAT) will be 416,500 euros! Stay tuned for live photos. Sadly, it will only be made available in Europe for the time being, and only in left hand drive.
