The Mercedes-Benz eDrive SLS
The Mercedes AMG line has always been about power, torque and acceleration. The engines used in AMG vehicles are hand built, and designed to be both fast and exclusive. Fuel economy has never been at the top of the list when it comes to the Mercedes-Benz AMG division.
Things are changing, however. The engineers at AMG are in the process of developing a new version of the SLS supercar. This vehicle will actually be a plug-in electric version. It will be known as the “eDrive” SLS. In terms of design, it is expected to be very similar to the gasoline version of the Mercedes SLS, which will be released at the motor show in Frankfurt in September. It is expected that the vehicle will rely on a lightweight aluminum structure as well as the interior of the gas version.
The electric version will use a modified rear-wheel drive SLS platform, using a98-kilowatt electric motor with each wheel. A lithium-ion battery will store the vehicle’s electricity. It is expected that the eDrive SLS will produce 526 horsepower and be able to hit 60 miles per hour in just four seconds.
While the eDrive SLS is a ways off, there are plenty of wonderful Mercedes-Benz vehicles at your Princeton area Mercedes-Benz dealer today.
