Pure electric vehicles offer all sorts of new possibilities for designers and engineers. While Tesla got the ball rolling with the Model S back in 2012, mainstream competitors have finally caught up. And now it's time for high-performance specialists to join in. The Mercedes-Benz EQS all-electric flagship sedan is set to debut in 2022, a fact we've known for some time now. But now Autocar is claiming an AMG version is also in the works. That means the EQS will be the first EQ model to receive the AMG high-performance treatment. Currently, only the Mercedes EQC crossover is on sale, but the S-Class-sized EQS is a far better fit for AMG's talents.

Not only will the Mercedes-AMG EQS rival the Model S, but also the currently on sale Porsche Taycan Turbo and the also upcoming next-generation Jaguar XJ, which is also going all-electric.
