Mercedes-Benz – SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive

Mercedes-Benz has revealed its electric-powered Mercedes SLS AMG coupe at the Paris Autoshow. Not cheap at $540,000, but making up for it with being the most powerful AMG vehicle available and the fastest production electric-drive vehicle in the world. Dressed in a reflective blue Mercedes calls 'AMG electricbeam magno', will definitely turn many heads. 

The battery technology comes with the help of Mercedes Formula 1 engineers, offering 60 kWh of battery storage, which allows the car to travel about 155 miles on a charge. The batteries are lined along the tunnel where the drivelines and transmission would go in the  gasoline-powered version. Using two electric motors on each axle, so that each wheel can be spun and braked independently, which results in improved handling.

This all-wheel-drive car produces 552 kW (740 hp) and a maximum torque figure of 1,000 Nm, capable of a 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds.
