| Some info from Automobilwoche.de: Automobilwoche SLS e-drive: confirmed by Volker Mornhinweg. 4 electric motors near the wheels, 392 kW/533hp, 880 NM, AWD. 0-100 kmh in less than 4 seconds, 200kmh max. 324 Li-Ion cells, placed where the torque-tube is. Means extremely low CoG, fantastic balance. 150 to 180 kms autonomy. Regulation of the torque independantly for each of the 4 wheels, and of course energy-recovery when braking. Mercedes will release only one SLS e-drive, later a small serie. Sounds fantastic! Who said Mercedes was abandoning every nice project, vanity-vehicles and co?

| AMG Mercedes engineers are well advanced on a plug-in electric version of the upcoming SLS. Tentatively planned for limited production in 2015, the new zero-emission supercar draws heavily on the production version of the yet-to-be-revealed SLS, which is scheduled to get its first public outing at the Frankfurt motor show on 15 September. The SLS eDrive is planned to be offered with the same lightweight aluminium body as the production version of the SLS, complete with its signature gullwing doors. The new car is also set to take the standard interior, albeit with some minor changes to the switchgear to reflect the electric driveline. According to official Mercedes-Benz AMG information seen by Autocar, the SLS eDrive will use a heavily modified version of the standard SLS’s rear-wheel-drive platform. Among the changes aimed at accommodating the new hardware is the inclusion of a new pushrod front suspension, with coilover damper units mounted horizontally in place of the standard car’s more conventional upright double wishbone arrangement to free up space around the front axle. This allows the fitment of two 98kW (133bhp) motors up front, effectively turning the SLS eDrive into a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Each of the front wheels is driven via a planetary drive set that acts like a torque vectoring device, providing drive to the wheel possessing the most traction. The set-up at the front is mirrored at the rear; each back wheel is powered by a 98kW (133bhp) motor that drives through a planetary drive set, although the standard rear double wishbones have been retained without modification. All up, the SLS eDrive possesses 392kW (532bhp) and a sturdy 649lb ft of torque. By comparison, the standard SLS, powered by a heavily reworked version of AMG’s familiar 6.2-litre V8 engine, boasts 420kW (571bhp) and 479lb ft. Performance figures aren’t official yet, but Wolf Zimmermann, the man heading up SLS eDrive development, claims 0-62mph acceleration in under 4.0sec and a top speed in excess of 120mph. The battery pack is mostly mounted low down in the space usually taken up by the standard SLS’s torque tube. AMG is also planning to use the space behind the seats, usually taken up by the fuel tank, for additional battery capacity. Range is put at between 93 and 112 miles depending on the load placed on the battery, while overall recharging time is put at between five and six hours on high-density charge or eight hours on conventional mains power. Measures such as brake energy regeneration are likely to feature too.
