This new system injects an additional 20 horsepower for a short duration of time thanks to an electric motor mounted to transmission.
Comprised of a 48-volt unit, street legal versions of the four-door Mercedes-Benz GT4 could use a “larger” lithium-ion battery.
If and when the model hits the streets, it won’t be replacing the CLS-series. Instead, it’s set to replace the CLS Shooting Brake models that may or may not have been a huge success.
