At this year's Paris Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz is giving us a first look at the production ready SLS AMG Electric Drive.
It's certainly no wimpy electric car though; this fully fledged AMG supercar has 740 horsepower and will launch itself from 0 to 60mph in less than 4 seconds. It's also got a ridiculous 737lb/f of torque. These statistics will make the SLS AMG Electric Drive the fastest and most powerful production electric car in the world, though not the fastest SLS AMG. Top speed will be, of course, limited to 155mph, but Mercedes-Benz anticipates that this will be reached easily.
