Not only is the horsepower war not over – contrary to AMG’s own declaration last year – the latest reports say it has moved into a whole new range of armaments: electric vehicles. The latest development is a possible all-electric powertrain for the 2011 Mercedes Benz SLS AMG, which is expected to hit the market sometime in 2015.
According to Auto Motor und Sport, Mercedes Benz will unveil a concept version of the electric supercar in 2015 and start production that same year. The car’s electric powertrain, dubbed ‘eDrive’, will feature four in-wheel electric motors, which together will produce a total 526hp (392kW) and 880Nm of torque.
This will be enough to accelerate the car from 0-100km/h in less than four seconds and allow it to comfortably reach a governed top speed of 200km/h.
