Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive
recently, we surprised the news that said that Mercedes-AMG will be a supercar hybrid. It will be a rival for the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder, and in addition you will receive Formula 1 technology. But it seems that the plans of the division of sports of the brand with the star does not remain there. The latest reports say that the following will be a model of Mercedes-AMG 100% electric.
Is something that fits quite after the launch of the Mercedes Generation EQ Concept, an advancement to the offensive of electrical that will come in the next few years. Although it seems that would have to wait for the next decade for that Mercedes-AMG would do something like that. Tobias Moers, chief of the division of sports, said that “there are no plans to have by 2020 an electric car, but if you make me that question I always answer that before or after there will be an AMG pure electric, it is something that is going to happen”.

“of course it is a compromise between efficiency and performance, and for other cars also. There will be a AMG electric but not when. If it were not so likely to AMG would disappear as a brand,” continued Moers. In this way it is clear that the germans believe that the hybridization and electrification are the future and are willing to bet for it. For the moment we do not know anything more, but we have a precedent.
a few years Ago came the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive, the only AMG electric up to date. In fact, this vehicle holds the record of the Nürburgring in his category from six years ago. This model did a time of 7:56.234 thanks to its four electric motors, placed one in each wheel. The total power was 740 HP and 999 Nm of torque, but what we will see in the future could be quite superior to this model.
