Mercedes SLS AMG

Mercedes just announced that they will be making the AMG SLS electric, so instead of a 563bhp V8 there will be a motor at each wheel totaling 526bhp. The drivetrain is still an engineering prototype but Mercedes is determined to produce it. The electric set up will have 30% more torque and will hit 60mph in about 4 seconds. The SLS will have a transmission on each axle resulting in all-wheel-drive performance enhanced by Mercedes Torque Vectoring system to help manage the torque distribution more accurately. The batteries are placed in front of the fire wall, in the central tunnel and behind the seats. The the rest of the drivetrain will be placed low in the aluminum spaceframe body to keep down the center of gravity.
