Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive offers shocking performance — and prices

There's nothing exotic about electric vehicles -- not now that every automaker has dabbled in or built a handful, and hundreds of homebuilt EV conversions roam the roads. At least that's what I thought until today, when Mercedes-Benz revealed the production of its electric-powered Mercedes SLS AMG coupe, offering 740 hp, all-wheel-drive and a body that looks like liquid metal. It's price carries quite the shock as well.
