Revealed today at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, the Porsche Mission R is an electric racer unlike anything you've ever seen before. It looks like a Cayman-sized Taycan with motorsport influence, and that's basically what it is - an electric two-door race car. With two newly developed electric motors, the Mission R produces up to 1,072 horsepower in its all-out attack setting, otherwise known as qualifying mode. With all four wheels being driven, the car can achieve 0-62 mph in under 2.5 seconds and will top out at over 186 mph.

The EQE, as its name suggests, takes up a spot on the roster just below the EQS Sedan in size as an electric equivalent to the E-Class, which will continue to be sold alongside the newcomer. Retaining familiar styling to the polarizing EQS, the EQE has debuted in 350 guise, sporting impressive numbers. The headline figures are 288 horsepower, 391 lb-ft, a WLTP range of 410 miles, and the ability to recoup 155 miles range in just 15 minutes.

The moment has finally arrived. Mercedes-Benz is pushing hard towards electrification and its iconic G-Class is no exception. The vehicle you see here isn't the one you'll be able to buy in the future, but it's close.

If anything is going to replace the Mercedes-Benz S-Class in the future, what better car for the job than the Mercedes EQS? Essentially the brand's electric flagship sedan, the EQS was revealed earlier this year in EQS 450+ and EQS 580 4Matic trim levels. Of course, the big talking point was its spectacular MBUX Hyperscreen. Now, the automaker has revealed the high-performance AMG EQS.
It has the honor of being the first battery-electric AMG production model and it doesn't disappoint with up to 751 horsepower when using its boost function.
