The SLS AMG Electric Drive was a shy attempt to give a supercar an all-electric heart. Fewer than 100 units were sold, and the same can be said about the Audi R8 E-Tron. These two cars were ahead of their time, making them too expensive while offering an extremly limited range to make them truly useable. Tremendous advancements have been made in battery tech since then, prompting Audi to already confirm its supercar will evolve into an EV.
What is Mercedes-AMG doing? It's putting the finishing touches on the One hypercar with its 1.6-liter hybrid V6 engine borrowed from Lewis Hamilton’s championship-winning F1 car. At the same time, the EQS and EQE have gained performance versions, which we're also expecting for their SUV equivalents. A smaller C-Class EV equivalent has been confirmed, and there's a good chance an AMG will follow.
