Mercedes SLS Electric Drive. Can Volts Ever Match Pistons?

Interesting video from Mercedes Benz. Chris Harris the presenter is not a fan of 'electric'. However whilst driving the car he does get a few surprises.

The numbers are significant: 750hp, 737lb ft, 2200kg. But can you actually enjoy driving it? Find out for yourself.

Remember this car is only the first of it's kind.

Whilst watching you will be amazed by the electronic wizardry incorporated in this vehicle. It is expensive to buy now but take note that we already have the technology to build nano-copters that operate with a chip smaller than a credit card and can cooperate with each other autonomously. They fly in 'swarms' and deal with cross winds and up drafts doing hundreds of computations per second. A video of this technology is available here.
