These beautiful electrified sports cars will each seduce the pilot in you. The Mercedes-AMG EQS is not alone. The Audi RS e-Tron GT and the Tesla Model S are already turning heads.

The Audi RS e-Tron GT
Price: $ 179,900
Less expensive to acquire than the AMG EQS, the RS e-Tron is wrapped in a more aggressive plastic, but less practical (classic trunk with a limited volume). Inside, the Audi fascinates us with the quality of its finish and the attention to detail. However, its cousinhood with Porsche (Taycan and RS e-Tron GT share the same architecture) means that the interior is rather cramped compared to the Mercedes-AMG EQS. The latter is not only more spacious, but also offers more padded comfort. Dynamically, the RS e-Tron GT regains the ascendancy over its rival by displaying superior fluidity in rapid sequences.
Tesla Model S
Price: $ 169,990

The Tesla Model S
The Plaid version of Tesla’s Model S is a direct competitor of the AMG EQS. On paper and in practice, the Model S appears to be vastly superior in terms of pure performance (acceleration, times, top speed) and efficiency (range). The American also offers a proven network of “superchargers”. The Tesla S is not all good, however. It is criticized for an uneven construction, the fragility of its fittings and the low resistance of its paint. Faced with the EQS, the Model S Plaid does not offer such a precise and reassuring road feel either.
