Mercedes-Benz sports cars on the road to electrification

Mercedes-AMG presents its future plans for high-performance models that will modify their mechanics but not the sporty essence.

With an automotive industry that aims its guns at electric mobility, from the sports division Mercedes-AMG have released their policy for upcoming products.

For this they have taken as the technology of the mild-hybrid thrusters and the Project One , to welcome the brand new E Performance engines.

In itself this arrangement does not differ much from a conventional hybrid mechanism. In other words, a conventional internal combustion propeller that will work with another electric one.

In this case, it could be on a V8 engine or some other that will be twinned with another electric one housed in the rear axle together with a high-performance battery with 6.1 kWh capacity.

Basically from Mercedes-AMG will install an electric drivetrain of 150 kW (204 CV) which together will provide the desired performance by the sports division.

Although it will provide traction to the rear axle, it will also be possible to have the 4Matic + integral device for certain cases.

On the other hand, German technicians have also worked on a revolutionary battery cooling system.

Due to what is sought is the rapid response of the vehicle, we have opted for a mechanism that acts individually on the 506 battery cells of 400 V.

With a special non-conductive liquid of electricity it will be possible to control the temperature of the unit. About 14 liters of fluid and an electric pump will be needed for proper operation.

Also the Mercedes-AMG GT 73 e would be the forerunner in including this arrangement under a plug-in hybrid configuration.

In this way some 811 could be arranged under the right foot when the conventional engine is the 4.0L V8. So it could meet 0 to 100 km / h in less than 3.0 seconds.

With the intention of not losing its identity the division Mercedes-AMG changes its bases but not its roots.
