The technology behind the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG E Cell


Housed in an aluminum body and carbon fiber shell of the standard SLS technology is exciting series for E-Cell.

Electric car concept still is not really close to many people. However, no one dares to deny the efforts of automobile manufacturers in the innovation and development of electric vehicles. One of them, not to mention Mercedes-Benz SLS form E-Cell electric vehicle.

Torque 649 lb-ft and 525 hp output parameters are proud of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell. Electric supercar has yellow highlights appear in several motor shows from last year to this.

E-Cell is not a half-hearted attempt to put electric drive system in the standard SLS. Instead, this is the result of intensive engineering projects derived from the F1 world.

Electric motor torque vectoring


"Heart" of the SLS AMG E-Cell is four synchronous electric motor, mounted in the chassis near each wheel. Transmit power to all four wheels as traction and support vector torque from the wheel operated individually. This helps cornering characteristics can be adjusted almost infinitely and reduce reliance on electronic balancing system which is useful for the enthusiastic driver.


Low weight


Low weight helps vehicles achieve high standards of performance brand AMG. Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) has been widely used, like aluminum. Benefits of bring CFRP include weight reduction of about 30% compared with aluminum, but the higher power.

Pin mounted inside the carbon fiber bodywork immediately increase safety but also allows central weight distribution and low maintenance. According to Mercedes-Benz, you can expect the highest standards of safety from E-Cell.

Even Mercedes-Benz also uses a different measure of attractiveness. Each carbon fiber thickness is only 1/10 of a human hair and weighing only 25 g.

F1 technology


Many automobile manufacturers claim, they enjoy the cars technology from the racetrack. However, in many cases, such a relationship is very fragile. Fortunately, this is true in the case of the SLS AMG E-Cell.


Carbon ceramic brake rotors are the first contact from the racing world, with large capacity and resistance to corrosion, even when used at high intensity. This technology also helps reduce vehicle weight 40% compared with rotors conventional gray cast iron. From there, create favorable conditions for the handling unladen weight and increased sensitivity of the steering mechanism.

The dampers pusher style race car replaces the system arranged vertically on a regular SLS. The reason is that electric drive system requires setting the other car.

Kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) is integrated in the car. Kinetic energy transformed into thermal and electrical energy when braking, then be used to provide additional power for the fixed position during rotation.

The same technology is integrated in hybrid models over the years, but Mercedes-Benz has used 48 kWh battery dedicated to equipping F1 E-Cell. Lithium-ion high-voltage, liquid-cooled. Like the F1 KERS system, braking energy recovery.

The most important thing for people who are all interested in this technology is not being wasted. Mercedes-Benz is expected to launch SLS AMG E-Cell to market in 2013, with small-scale production.
