What a beautiful car! And 740hp to boot! Of course I may be bias having owned MB’s in the past. So if you have a spare $539,000 laying around go visit your dealer! 😃

> The SLS Electric Drive uses a high-tech driveline consisting of four synchronous electric motors—one at each corner—providing it with permanent four-wheel drive. The electric motors, each weighing 99 pounds, deliver a total of 740 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque. That’s 177 hp and 259 lb-ft more than the 6.2-liter V8 in the standard SLS AMG.

That blue chrome color is spectacular! Really different. I hope they called it something good like “electric blue”. 🙂
