Mercedes-Benz EQS Revealed

Mercedes-Benz has debuted the electric equivalent of the S-Class: the EQS. If we had to describe it in one word, it would definitely be ‘insane’.

The Tesla Model S and Audi e-tron GT rival can go from 0-100kmph in just 4.3 seconds with a staggering output of 523PS. Check out the EQS in detail here.
