An EV with an AMG badge?! Something’s not right here

- Rivan RS

SOUNDER EV

When I think of the AMG brand, my mind conjures up images of powerful V8s, and overpowered inline-fours. Which is why when Mercedes-Benz India said they’ll be bringing their first AMG-badged all-electric sedan to India, the incongruity of that statement brought about another one of those traditional ‘Urgh, but why?’ thoughts. It’s no secret that I tend to be on the conservative side when it comes to battery electric vehicles, but an AMG-powered EV is something I should have expected to come along, sooner or later. After all, the technology for fast EVs already exists — I’m talking, of course, about Formula E.

At first glance, this svelte-looking sedan is, for all intents and purposes, the all-electric version of the go-faster Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The EQS AMG looks very little like the S-Class or even the S 63 AMG, but there’s a regal, yet bruiser sort of character going for it. It is quite unlike any roadgoing Mercedes available in India so far to look at, but does have some of those cues that will cause instant brand recognition. Those oversized air intakes in the front bumper lend it a mean look, while the sinister black alloys and gratuitous spoiler give it all the sportiness you could want from your AMG. So, the EQS AMG definitely has that going for it.

INTO THE SIMULATION

I recently got my hands on a serious sim racing setup a full F1-style wheel with force feedback, a proper pedal set, and a triplemonitor rig. After just one lap around Spa Francorchamps in Assetto Corsa, I was completely immersed.

THE MOTORCYCLE CALLED LIFE

Life seems to be a continuing onslaught of crossroads. And my mind is rather empty these days. Okay, the latter's not a greatly unusual thing, I admit. But the former is increasingly common, and I haven't yet found a way to deal with it; can't really figure out why, but it is the way it is. Perhaps it'll sink in eventually and I'll be able to tell you all about it someday. In the meanwhile, I shall resort to one of my advanced daydreaming... erm, introspective techniques — drawing parallels between life and motorcycles. Heck, to me, life is a motorcycle.
