Mercedes-Benz Group, the company formerly known as Daimler, expanded its AMG offerings yesterday with the unveiling of the EQE 53. It's the performance sedan heading to the United States, but over in Europe, there's also the lesser 43 variant. Even though it is down on horsepower and torque, it's no slouch as the entry-level variant still offers plenty of performance.
You still get a pair of electric motors but detuned to 469 hp (350 kW) whereas the EQE 53 offers an extra 208 hp (155 kW) provided it's equipped with the optional AMG Dynamic Plus Package. There's also quite a bit of a gap in terms of torque since the red car here has "only" 858 Newton meters (633 pound-feet). It's a reduction of 142 Nm (105 lb-ft) compared to the more potent variant.
