With every other car manufacturer coming out with a different kind of hybrid or ecologically-friendly car, one starts to imitate the next. Which leads one to think, what will they come up with next?
Mercedes Benz seeks to answer that question. With the release of its new prototype SLS AMG E-Cell electric super-car, the powerhouse is claiming its rightful stake in the map of futuristic “green” automobiles.
What sets this battery motored vehicle apart from the rest of the mix is that, quite simply, it’s different. With its DeLorean-style doors, a redesigned front suspension, and a paint job specifically named Lumilectric Mango, one can assert this car isn’t for the feint of heart (or the skinny pocketed).
When it comes to the specs of this cruiser, Mercedes certainly doesn't disappoint. According to the folks at AMG, the super-car can reach 60 mph in under four seconds. The motors combine to apply 526 horsepower and 649 pound-feet of torque to the wheels, which top out at 12,000 rpm, which is only slightly less than its gas guzzling Neanderthal-like competitors. It even has an increased available downforce, due to an extendable front splitter and rear diffuser that trumps a standard 6.2 liter V8-powered SLS. In laymen’s terms, this baby can purr...
So now my friends, with Mercedes’ innovative new time-capsule SLS AMG E-Cell, you cannot only feel good about driving an ecologically friendly car, you can look good while owning it. Plus, I bet I know who would win if you decided to race your Toyota- loving friend...just make sure his brakes work before you cross the finish! Have YOU helped save the world today?
