The combination of ridiculous rarity and prohibitive price means most drivers aren't even aware of this car, let alone how extraordinary it is; but in fact, to this day, the SLS AMG Electric Drive is the most powerful Mercedes-Benz ever made.

If the future of cars is electric powered cars and it's knocking on our door, don't expect me to answer it. Then again, electric vehicles may be good for people who don't know of care about automobiles, but for true gearheads like me, nothing else but an internal combustion engine will do, I love the sound, and the feel of an internal combustion engine, it has personality, it has soul. The day all new cars are electric powered will be the day I lose all interest in new cars.

Ugh, the future... If just the oil was endless, then anybody just wouldn't use electric power aggregate massively...
About this car, I'm pretty sure that it will deeply understeer and will be non-effective at corners. But I would guess the acceleration time will be quicker, as there are lots torque. The time of charging I don't even mention... And again the lack of fun, oh damn, there will be no AMG V8 sound....
But, still, I see something attractive at this car that seems invisible.. unique...
No doubt, currently, it's the best EV.

How strange it sounds, but I say that I like this car! No really! Whether is has a petrol analogue, I have any trolling expression to this car and it looks really nice (pretty strange color it's painted) and as for electric - I won't say it's the heaviest. MB claim that it can 250 km fully charged, which is good. How much I dislike e-mobils (softly said), but this car doesn't seem to me so... something very attractive!
