The idea of an eco-friendly supercar is no longer an oxymoron thanks to Mercedes-Benz: it revealed the SLS AMG CoupeElectric Drive at the Paris Motor Show proving that fast can be green, too.
Well, in this case fast and green may be blue – the SLS Mercedes unveiled is painted in a vivid shade of blue featuring the Electric-Drive exclusive AMG electricbeam magno paint scheme. Aside from the special paint job, there are few aesthetic changes to the electric supercar from its internal-combustion compatriots: a carbon fiber front splitter, new rear diffuser sans tailpipes, 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, honeycomb-patterned front grilles, and Electric Drive fender badging will help bystanders spot the gas-free SLS.
I have no idea what "electricbeam magno" means, but I'm sure it makes it go faster. And it sure looks good!
This is a plug-in electric, not a hybrid. That's right, an electric AMG. Makes you feel twelve years old again with giddiness, doesn't it?
