The resulting optimized weight distribution, the best possible utilization of torque and the very immediate power output promise driving dynamics at the highest level. The power of the electric motor is applied immediately with full torque, a characteristic of the design. Added to this are fast energy absorption and high power density.

liter turbo engine that is mounted longitudinally at the front; this is the most powerful production four-cylinder in the world. Just like in Formula 1, the battery is specifically designed for fast power output and draw with innovative direct cooling of the cells. The AMG-specific E PERFORMANCE hybrid drive.

As in Formula 1, the battery is specifically designed for fast power delivery and draw. This compact design has numerous advantages: The electric motor acts directly on the rear axle and can therefore convert its power more directly into propulsion for that extra boost when moving off, accelerating or overtaking.
