Its dual electric motors put out 677 horsepower and 738 ft-lbs of torque when equipped with the AMG Dynamic Plus package and boost function.

You’ll notice Mercedes removed the “53” designation for this market. Unfortunately true AMG performance won’t be coming until the AMG.EA, MMA, and MB.EA platform vehicles come out in 2025 and beyond.
plus, i really don't care and obviously most don't about having a car with over 1000 hp which is unusable almost all of the time.
good for bragging rights though.

It will be interesting to see how manufacturers differentiate on power in the EV world and the pricing they offer. Here is an interesting fact...you know the difference between a Performance model Tesla and a standard AWD version? It's a software update and different tires, brakes, suspension. As manufacturers build their own EV motors, I bet they use the same one in their lower spec cars as their performance ones but with slightly cheaper inverters and batteries. Interesting times.

I think Mercedes just isn't there yet in development of these extra powerful cars or they don't want to overwhelm their ice offerings yet. It's not that much more to offer higher horsepower in EVs vs their regular products and efficiency is barely affected.

I'm super curious to know what they're going to do with these initial EVs come facelift time.
