The Mercedes SLS Electric Drive, 740 horsepower and going through the corners with negative torque...I have seen Tesla S drivers with a big grim on their face when they accelerate their car, I can only imagen what a thrill this car must be.

Torque vectoring. That has got to be a weird feel. He's at a loss to describe it.

Yeah, nail some gullwings to it.

Nice collection of new tech and it can beat a big battery Telsa S in a 0-60 run by 3/10s of a second.

I bet it’s amazing on snow and ice

I did a lot of driving today around town and I must have past at least 10 Tesla's on the LA freeways, it's a really good looking car. Unfortunately I didn't spot an AMG SLS Electric Drive...

That is pretty cool. Electric cars are not something I really think I could like, but the technology is just so fascinating. I'm afraid if I ever drive one, I might like it . . . .
