Media Preview of SLS AMG E-Cell Shot At Norway!!

Shown on the video above are the new sets of video of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell shot at Norway. This prototype car was actually being presented by Mercedes for a media preview and also for them to test the car.

The first video is the all electric “Gullwing” E-Cell blasted up and down the airstrip of Kristiansund alongside the new S63 AMG which packs a new twin turbo 5.5 liter V8. As you see from the video, the engine noise coming out from the S63 is very melodic with some deep growl but when you watch the “Gullwing” in action, the surrounding wind noise is much more apparent compared to the sound of the car. That’s shows how quite this car is.

Meanwhile, the second video shows the SLS AMG E-Cell on the Atlantic Road on the west coast of Norway. For the specs of this car, it is run by being fitted with four electric motors located near the wheel that produce a massive equivalent of 526hp and torque of 880Nm. Sources says that the car will be ready for limited production by 2013.

Talking about an all electric drive car, I want to share my experience driving one. I have the privilege of driving the electric i-miev by Mitsubishi Motors when I’m in Japan for training. At first driving it, you will be amaze by how quite the car is running and the only noise that you can hear is either the tyre noise or any rattling noise coming from the cabin of the car. The car that I was driving is a Mitsubishi test car, and that is why I can hear the rattling noise coming from various point of the Instrument Panel.

Acceleration wise, it is way better compared to the normal petrol engine. I’ve been told by the MMC engineers that the car power is equivalent to a 660cc petrol car but the torque supplied by the motors makes it a very desirable drive. It is definitely a good car to be driven in town centre. Speaking of noise, when the car has gain the speed, the only apparent noise would be the wind noise and the tyre noise plus some noise of motors working that we usually hear from an electric motors.

Enjoy the video that I have installed for you.
