The first details and images of the electric Mercedes SLS AMG E-Cell have leaked.

The Mercedes SLS AMG E-Cell, showing a bright yellow exterior paint job in these official images, is ready for its debut. Power for the E-Cell will be provided by four electric motors – one at each corner – that are capable of revving to 12,000rpm.

Power for the setup is estimated around 390kW, which will be good enough for a 0-100km/h time of just 4 seconds. This will be just slightly slower than the petrol version.

The Mercedes SLS AMG E-Cell is also fitted with reduction gears and a multi-link suspension with push-rod dampers that replace the double-wishbone one in the standard Gullwing.

The aerodynamics of the electric Mercedes SLS AMG E-Cell have also been modified in order to get more downforce. The electric Gullwing comes with a re-designed rear diffuser and an extendable front splitter.

The interior changes brought by the new electric Mercedes SLS AMG E-Cell include a 10-inch touch screen. If all goes as planned, the E-Cell should arrive in Mercedes showrooms sometime in 2013. I’m personally a fan of the SLS AMG and regardless if Supercars are going green or not, it would be interesting to see the final result come production time.
