A journey through 140 years – pure innovation. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive marked the beginning of a new era for Mercedes-AMG in 2013. The first fully electric supercar not only highlighted the collaboration with AMG's colleagues from Formula 1, but it was a pioneer across the field: in technology, design, and driving experience. AMG's most powerful performance vehicle at the time set standards with four electric motors, a total output of 552 kW and a maximum torque of 1000 Newton metres. The gullwing thus became in 2013 the fastest electrically powered production vehicle in the world. It lapped the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring on 07.06.2013 in a record time of 7:56.234 minutes. This makes the AMG electric super sports car the first series-production electric vehicle to complete the legendary racetrack in under eight minutes. #MercedesBenz #140years
