The Mercedes SLS AMG isn’t your mom or dads electric car. Instead it’s a high profile sports car with a V-8 engine that offers zero-emissions and enough power to get even the biggest sports car enthusiast drooling.

The SLS AMG offers a high voltage lithium-ion battery pack that’s so supercharged that it requires its own liquid-cooling system. The car is also powered by four batteries that are located near the vehicles wheel hub motors to provide the full power needed by the vehicle, while also holding down the cars unsprung weight with one transmission per axle.

The SLS AMG doesn’t give up the power required to be classified as a super car. This Mercedes includes 571 horsepower output with an impressive 479 lbs-ft of torgue.

No word yet on pricing which isn’t surprising considering the vehicle isn’t expected until possibly 2015. What I can tell you is that the AMG is expected to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 4 seconds, not bad for a supped up car attached to a bunch of batteries and cooled by a specialized cooling system. Not to mention you don’t end up with that burning oil smell when you finally slow down.
