Mercedes-AMG is challenging the future with its SLS AMG E-CELL, a state-of-the-art development of its gullwing super sports car, that features a zero-emission high-tech drive.
This vehicle boasts a power output of 392kW and 880Nm of torque, and is part of the company's 'AMG Performance 2015' strategy, which aims to continually reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
The drive system technology boasts some outstanding features including powerful traction provided by four synchronous electric motors, which have a combined peak output of 392kW and a maximum torque of 880Nm. The four compact electric motors, located near the tyres, each achieve a maximum of 12,000/rpm.
When it comes to dynamics, the electrically-powered SLS AMG makes a statement with the E-Cell model capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in four seconds, which almost puts it on the same level as the SLS AMG with the 6.3-litre V8 engine, which can hit 100km/h in 3.8 seconds.
The SLS AMG E-CELL incorporates a liquid-cooled high-voltage lithium-ion battery featuring a modular design with an energy content of 48kW/h and a capacity of 40Ah.
Another technical feature is the intelligent parallel circuit of the individual battery modules, which maximises the safety, reliability and service life of the 400-volt battery.
The transformation from petrol to electric super sports car also required some changes to the interior.
The centre console houses a 25 cm touchscreen, which can be used to operate all of the audio, climate and navigation functions, as well as obtain information on the flow of power from the four electric motors.
