Mercedes-Benz didn’t introduce a new streetcar at the 2011 North American International Auto Show, but did show their cutting-edge SLS AMG E-Cell and announce that it will go into production. Although the fluorescent-yellow paint was a bit obnoxious, the car isn’t. The gull-wing doors let you in to drive an all-electric sports car that Mercedes says will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds thanks to 525 horsepower and 649 lb-ft. of torque generated by four electric motors located at the wheels. The E-CELL will also feature a 400 volt battery and intelligent four wheel drive.
