JoshuaSep 28, 2012 Then had to read it again for the same expression
JoshuaSep 28, 2012 I made this face when about to finishing readig the first paragraph :O
Dan RatherSep 28, 2012 Damn and all that torque is available at 0 rpm I can only imagine the pull with such high horsepower it must have an awesome power band
Jay KolvenbagSep 28, 2012 More than 700 hp from an electric car!
Jordan SmithSep 27, 2012 I don't like EVs, at all, but props to Benz for this.
Carlos Ernesto GarciaSep 27, 2012 They did a great job of equalizing the hp and torque. Most EVs hav a lot of torque and ok hp
Bobby JuniorSep 27, 2012 *smiling* "LOOK AT MY TEETH!"

Jose Miguel FernandezSep 28, 2012 What I find wired is that has about 200 less torque and hp and its 0-60 time is .2 sec faster
David MoskovicSep 28, 2012 Form is not following function. This is akin to an old steam powered locomotive being fitted with a diesel engine with the smokestack staying on. This car was designed for a huge front mounted combustion engine.
Mario CallirgosSep 27, 2012 Why so hostile Jason? The numbers are just not there for how much hp tq
Or price! Not to mention the range is not good at all! I want a car I can drive every day and that doesnt have a short leash to my house!
Jason BrowerSep 27, 2012 Apparently 0-60 times and price are the only things people on this app care about... Do all of the real car enthusiasts here a favor and go buy a b series civic and modify it. Twenty grand of work into one of those will give you great 0-60.
Parker LamoreauxSep 27, 2012 Another reason why all-electric cars will never really catch on. Their range is pathetic. Around town is your only option with them. Not that I have the money to buy this car. Just my opinion.
Mario CallirgosSep 27, 2012 The 0-60 is pretty lame also.. Boss 302 performance for sls money or more; that is disappointing
Thibault LeroySep 27, 2012 Top gear said mercedes was gonna offer a quick charging pack that charges it in 3h
Austin SullivanSep 27, 2012 @Ethan, when are you EVER going to drive faster than 155? I know it's not impressive compared to the numbers we see on here all day but come on, think a little bit.
Andy ClouthierSep 27, 2012 Pretty much all German cars are electronically limited to 155. This is nothing new.
Ethan AmoSep 27, 2012 You know, I hate to say it, but alot of other cars have a higher top speed for less money...it's not that I don't like this car, but I'm against electric supercars
Dylan BruderSep 27, 2012 It would make battery life incredibly short and put alot of stress on the electric motor to wind up to that many rpms
Adam GraySep 27, 2012 Why do they limit the top speed to 155? Kinda disappointing with the HP and torque figures.

Chris GainesSep 27, 2012 like whatever creates that characteristic whirr sound could be tuned like an exhaust to create different running "notes" depending in the speed of the motors
Chris GainesSep 27, 2012 my opinion on electric sport cars aside, there is absolutely no reason why I would want to hear anything fake coming thru my speakers to simulate a ICE. I think mb should emphasize sounds of whatever moving parts create a more positive experience
Jordan SmithSep 27, 2012 I agree. That's just straight up ridiculous. If you want the sounds of the engine just buy the real regular car.
Sebastian GreySep 27, 2012 Wait. So there are speakers that make a "vroom vroom" sound? That's hilariously ridiculous.
Preston HarrisSep 27, 2012 I'm sorry, but this is gorgeous
John SerelySep 27, 2012 With the amount of power it has, I don't really care about the looks
Maaz KhanSep 27, 2012 Too much electric blue, they could have left the grills silver/chrome

Tara FitriaSep 28, 2012 People who think they are saving the earth while driving electric cars are fooling themselves. The prius causes more environmental damage than a range rover.
Ben NortonSep 28, 2012 Front intakes? Electric motors don't need air intakes...
Jordan SmithSep 27, 2012 This car is more of a statement then a car. People would love to buy it to say, "Yeah, I'm saving the earth, and looking awesome while doing it." Personally I think it's ridiculous. Regardless, props to Benz.
Daniel EadsSep 27, 2012 Ethan, seeing that there isn't really a competitor, this thing will sell like crazy. Just think of all those celebrates who would love a fast car but are almost forced by the media to buy a Prius.
Thibault LeroySep 27, 2012 Yeah thats over 200k more than the regular V8 model
Ethan AmoSep 27, 2012 Haha, this car clearly won't be a big seller...even though it looks fantastic, bottom line is, it's electric...
Steve LiollioSep 27, 2012 $550,00?? That's Mercedes for ya
John JenkinsSep 27, 2012 I'm fairly certain most people dont drive their ferraris every day, nor every weekend for that matter. this isn't ridiculous at all for a crazy electric supercar
Albert JaramilloSep 27, 2012 Half a million dollars for a weekend driver??
I mean... This has became my favorite car ever

rimac concept one?
747 ft lbs iof your is very is very impressive. But from an electric engine, that's the numbers that it should
747 hp? THAT is amazing
I've never really liked the SLS, but 747 hp! That's insane!
