News on Mercedes’ SLS AMG E-Cell going into production has been released. Under the company’s “AMG Performance 2015” strategy, the production SLS AMG E-Cell will most likely look like the prototype that’s already been shown.
To date, we know the car has a 48 kWh lithium-ion battery, which sends power to four synchronous electric motors that produce a combined 392 kW and 880 Nm of torque that allows it to go from 0 – 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds. Styling cues include LED headlights, a wider radiator grille, a revised hood, and a more aggressive rear diffuser. Other goodies include matte black accents, an extended front splitter, and exclusive 10-spoke light-alloy wheels. Interior highlights include Nappa leather upholstery, Alcantara accents, a new instrument cluster, and a revised center console with large (9.8-inch) touch screen display.
The SLS AMG E-Cell will be the second vehicle under Mercedes’ E-Cell electric vehicle program to enter production, next to the A-Class E-Cell.
