Drive Tests the Mercedes-Benz SLS Electric Drive on the Track

Chris Harris is back again for Drive, this time taking Mercedes-Benz‘s SLS Electric Drive for a spin on a wet racetrack. Though the car runs mainly on electricity, the SLS Electric Drive can channel 748 hp from its engine, which also gets 738 lb-ft of torque. While it may be easy to label the SLS Electric Drive as a ‘supercar,’ Harris eloquently explains that Mercedes’ latest production with AMG is also a pivotal release with strong implications for the success of electric automobiles. Watch as he takes the stealthy car out for a ride in the most recent episode from Drive.
