Cool. I liked the idea of the Tesla sports car. I sure would like to see this Benz in action.

 

[blarneypete]

Am I on the correct web site?

 

[jacobdrj]

Not Mercedes Benz... Mercedes Electric... They label it as such on their cars. I have seen it. Benz (for those who don't know) means 'gasoline'.

 

[B-Unit]

Yea, it wouldn't have anything to do with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Benz

Idiot

I hope it has enough juice to make it out the driveway.

 

[bliq]

Uh, Benz is for Karl Benz, one of the founders of Daimler-Benz.

...and about an hour of battery life

 

[rosskey711]

Benzin means gasoline in german nicht "benz"

"Interestingly, this electric supercar isn't on that Tesla is involved (but don't be surprised to see that change in future vehicles)."

"and you have a touch choice on your hands." ?

touch?

Other than the above sentences that made me go "uhmm...what?", this article is pretty cool and my WORD how cool will that car be!?!
And i expect the battery life to last well over an hour.

cool, hopefully with Mercedes getting involved in electric cars then maybe the rule will finally be broken about environmental cars having to look so damn ugly that people would be too embarrassed to be seen in one of them.

...and the batteries alone will cost more than my car

An engine with that much power must drain it's batteries in a matter of hours... (or runs perhaps 10 miles on a charge).

 

[anamaniac]

Hot damn!!!
To have the balls to produce this car, there must be something unique about those batteries!

The cost will be out of a range I likely will be able to ever afford, but nice regardless.

 

[zodiacfml]

have yet to see more details how they did it, this could be a well designed electric car.

 

[scook9]

batteries.....where do they hide the small fusion reactor?! Also, something we can all relate to better, how the hell are they gonna cool engines of that power!? That is a huge amount of heat being produced.

And those cars are beautiful.

Shit, I should have snaked a couple of webpages of Tom's Hardware Site when this was a site about... HARDWARE!!!! I've had it with this has-been site, now looks like a mediocre magazine I wouldn't even read in the subway... Dr. Thomas Pabst, please start a new one. And stick to it, this time.
