The electric car Mercedes-Benz EQS AMG has an output of 600 hp and will compete with Tesla ’s rival Model S. But Mercedes not only wants to score with pure performance, but also must first have a luxurious interior and elegant appearance.

Of course, at the Affalterbach base, AMG refined not only cars with internal combustion engines, but also electric cars with stars. Just as the British auto magazine Autocar now has first-hand information, Mercedes-Benz EQS will be the next product. The electric car was released in 2019, and the mass-produced version has exceeded 400 hp, and will start production in 2021.

Finally, the AMG version should have more than 600 hp and 900 Nm of torque! In terms of performance, even this huge performance is not enough to beat the most powerful version of the Tesla Model S. However, this alone is not important in the project.

AMG has always had a knack for giving sports vehicles a sporty appearance. How accurate the Mercedes-Benz EQS AMG ultimately looks is not clear. However, it can be assumed that these tuners can not only take care of the body, but also visually improve the internal effects.

Start production in 2022?

However, there are no leaks regarding the price and availability of the AMG version of EQS. Mercedes-Benz plans to release a regular version of the electric car at the end of 2021 / early 2022, and the corresponding AMG version will definitely appear at a later date after the regular version is put on the market.

EQS is the first Mercedes model in the EQ series to use the company's scalable electric vehicle architecture [EVA]. This allows vehicle designers to create more spacious interior spaces. Since parts of classic cars with internal combustion engines are eliminated, there should be unprecedented space, especially in the rear seats of the EQS.

The production version of the Mercedes-Benz EQS accelerates from standing to 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds, and according to the manufacturer, its pure electric range is 700 km [WLTP]. Therefore, we can't imagine luxury cars relying on solar tarpaulins like this.
