SLS continues to get worse
On Top Gear they showed the SLS Black,
IMO it looks even worse than a standard one.
And then to top it all they showed the electric SLS
It beat the black in a straight drag, but the black was quicker by 2 seconds round the track,
ELECTRIC SLS what a joke.
and it's over 200k.

Only thing holding back super high performance electric vehicles which surpass internal combustion motors is battery endurance. Higher HP and torque, motor at each wheel, virtually 0 engine maintenance - what's not to like? Oh yeah - Ill miss the sounds though.

It doesn't matter how fast it is, on full throttle the batteries are dead
in 10 minutes
call that progress, any way the petrol was still faster than the electric on
the track.

Kinda wish it would go faster like the Tesla Roadster, but I would assume the weight difference is much different, but electric is nice
I never thought I'd like electric but ever since I test drove the Tesla Model S I fell in love and put an order for one back in Dec. and received it in April, the torque is amazing and I'm use to driving hard on my SL65 AMG, plus the maintenance cost for the Tesla and upkeep is really low and its nice to not pay for gas at times lol.
So the SLS E-Cell *drool* just wish they made it faster!!!
But the interior looks nice, I think they actually got that from Tesla too lol
