David Coulthard test drives the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-CELL car in this automotive video,

David Coulthard: Oh! what, the acceleration is awesome. It's instant but it is smooth now that is way way more than I expected. Female Speaker: Pure excitement for the SLS AMG E-CELL. Here is David Coulthard, the Mercedez Benz DTM driver and 13 time Formula 1 Grand prix winner made the trip to Norway to test-drive the super sports car. David Coulthard: All right, let's give it a go. Let's go EDrive high performance style. Well, I think I have engaged drive. Here we are full speed mode acceleration test. You definitely get the sensation of acceleration, it's incredible. And there we are after a few seconds we are at 160 kilometers per hour and then it will take the carbon ceramic brakes to the limit. With all of the normal performance of SLS when you want to make the turn, try not to hit any of the corners. So first experience going on to the open road. Obviously there is not the power of the engine noise, but there is definitely a transmission noise, there is a sensation, a familiar sound to tell you that you are gaining speed. In many ways it's more responsive than the standard V8 because it's not having to wait for a small delay when the drivers asking for fuel to go in the engine. Obviously the limitation is as a single gear, so eventually that ratio will run out of the ability to get to very top speed. But in terms of its knot to 60 or knot to 100, whatever kilometers an hour it's right there with the SLS which would come over this really funky Norwegian bridge. Well, first experience of electric car you will not believe the performance.
