Sure, there is an \"electric drive\" badge that differentiates this from that, but the serious action is going on inside, where there are four electric motors, each driving one of the supercar's wheels.\nSo when you lash 740hp onto this gorgeous carriage, what happens when you put the pedal to the metal? Neck-snapping acceleration ensues, blasting you from 0 to 62 mph in 3.9 seconds. It's so fast, its top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph \u2014 and in a statistical anomaly, it has a maximum battery range of 155 miles as well. So yeah, you can drive it at full speed for one hour until it's time to recharge.\n\nSEE ALSO: Tesla\u2019s Superchargers Let Model S Owners Travel Long Distances for Free\nAfter you've depleted its lithium-ion batteries, it'll only take about three hours to juice them back up again if you use the special charging box that mounts on the wall in your garage. \nCouple this awesome vehicle's 700 hp with the spectacular torque of electric vehicles, and you get performance that is well into the scary zone. And if you're missing the sweet music of a Mercedes V8 screaming at full tilt, the company has thought of that too: Press the \"power\" button and the sound of a Mercedes AMG engine blasts out of the car's 11 interior speakers, matching sounds with whatever you're doing with the throttle. The neighbors will like that, because you'll be the only one hearing all that sweet, sweet engine music.\nYou'll be able to drive one home soon \u2014 it's available for preorder now. But here's the bad news: Of course, an exotic supercar like this doesn't come cheap, and you'll need to dig deep \u2014 it'll cost you $540,000 to drive this spectacular conveyance into your garage.\n[via Autoweek]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
