SHOULD I HAVE BOUGHT A MERCEDES SLS ELECTRIC DRIVE?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses significant intrigue and surprise regarding the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive, a rare and powerful first-ever series production EV from the brand. Despite its visual similarity to the combustion-engine SLS AMG Black Series, the driving experience is described as fundamentally different, offering instant torque and impressive traction thanks to its four electric motors and AWD with torque vectoring. While acknowledging the car's technological prowess and its status as a glimpse into the future of electric sports cars, the reviewer notes its limited range (around 160 miles claimed) and the unusual sensation of immense speed without engine sound. The car's rarity and high value are emphasized, with the reviewer even questioning if they should have bought one instead of their SLS Black Series. Ultimately, the experience is deemed brilliant and a testament to Mercedes-Benz's engineering foresight, despite its limited commercial success at launch.
