Mercedes SLS Electric Drive Takes to the Track
By Jake Lingeman
Mercedes-Benz turned heads at the Paris motor show with the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive. The cool blue supercar costs $540,000, making it Mercedes-Benz’s most expensive car in the dealership.
Mercedes also took the car to the Ascari race track in Spain. Lucky for us, AMG dropped a video on its YouTube channel.
The SLS Electric Drive Coupe produces its own synthesized performance sounds, which are pumped with a push of the “power” button. The sound is played through 11 speakers around the interior.
A range hasn’t been given yet, but the SLS Electric Drive will take about 20 hours to charge from a 230-volt outlet, and about three hours with a quick charger.
