We just can’t get enough of the SLS AMG Electric Drive, which is why we are continuing our coverage of the production ready electric SLS AMG. This time, we are showing you driving footage. Before you start playing the video, make sure your speakers are turned all the way up, not because of the amazing roar, but because you won’t hear anything, the is literally almost no sound. That is probably the only thing I would change on the new SLS AMG ED. How about installing some external speakers and download some crazy engine/motor sound.

[Gallery] Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive

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 the fastest and most powerful production electric car in the world, though not the fastest SLS. Top speed will be, of course, limited to 155mph, but Mercedes-Benz anticipates that this will be reached easily.
