[Gallery] Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive

Muamer Hodzic September 27, 2012

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.
