Green is the New Fast

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell
This vivid color may strike even the most cheerful of people. But rest assured, those cheerful people will turn into electrical maniacs after driving this futuristic SLS. By the time of its release next year, this EV (electric vehicle) will be the most powerful EV ever made with 525 horsepower packed under the bonnet in the form of electrical motors and lithium-ion batteries. Mercedes say that this car will do 0 to 60 MPH in 3.7 seconds, matching the time made by its petrol-powered twin-brother. The top speed is unknown, but a while back, the company did say that this car would be limited to 135 MPH, because any faster, and the batteries will heat up and the car will explode. Anyway, this car is currently in a dead heat with the 918 RSR at the NAIAS. Who's better? Find out later.
