AMG showed us what it could do with E Performance hybrids; now it’s the turn of the Mercedes-AMG EQS, its first all-electric sports sedan. Based on the standard EQS, it now packs up to 649 horsepower and a boost function that can crank that up to 751 hp for when you need a shot of maximum speed. “The AMG EQS is the first all-electric ambassador in the performance segment, made in Affalterbach,” Philipp Schiemer, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes‑AMG GmbH, explains. “It is tailor-made for car enthusiasts who are looking for a combination of innovative electric mobility in a luxurious ambience, coupled with sportiness and agile driving dynamics.” Like the standard EQS, it’s based on the EVA2 group platform. The AMG EQS gets two electric motors – one for the front axle, one for the rear – for fully-variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.
