coupe unveiled at the 2012 Paris Show. Now a largely forgotten curio, the SLS AMG Electric Drive was at the time the most powerful AMG production car ever built, boasting 740 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, courtesy of four e-motors powered by a 60 kWh lithium-ion battery. Only nine were said to have been produced.the larger, plusher AMG EQS sedan we drove late in 2021
The AMG-specific permanently excited synchronous e-motors feature improved cooling to allow repeated acceleration without performance degradation, and unique windings with thicker wires that carry higher currents with greater stability, enabling higher motor rpm and increased power. The rear e-motor is a six phase design rather than the normal three phase, to further increase its power output.
Though the AMG EQE will recoup up to 260 kilowatts with the regen system set in its most aggressive mode, AMG's high performance steel brake setup is standard, with 16.3-inch rotors and six piston calipers on the front axle, and 14.9-inch units with single piston calipers at the rear. Carbon ceramic brakes are available as an option, but only with the optional 21-inch wheels. Standard wheels are 20-inch.
Even more impressive, perhaps, is the chassis. While the regular EQE can feel a little floaty and detached when pushed, the AMG EQE remains resolutely planted, even when hammered over bumpy, tight, and twisting roads. The body control is excellent, and even in Sport+ mode there's a syrupy coating to the ride you rarely feel in an AMG car.
You can switch between three levels of lift-off regen using the paddles either side of the steering wheel. High regen allows almost one-pedal driving around town, while normal gives a similar lift-off effect to an internal combustion engine car with an automatic transmission. You can also switch regen off completely and allow the AMG EQE to coast.
