This year's Paris Motor Show played host to electric debuts from well-known players like Mercedes and Volkswagen, but they weren't the only ones to make a big battery-powered push. The new GLM G4 might boast supercar performance, but its four doors and sumptuous cabin mean the whole family can come along for the ride.

We'll get back to the four-seat interior in a moment, but GLM is making some serious performance claims about its first four-seat sports car. Underneath the body, which was developed by Savage Rivale, is a twin-motor powertrain pumping out 1,000 Nm of torque and 400 kW (536 hp) of power. That's enough for a 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of just 3.7 seconds, putting it in the same ballpark as the Porsche Mission E and Audi R8 e-Tron.

    Yet another article that compares the NEDC range of the car with the EPA range of a Tesla. It's bogus. It's not quite apples and oragnes, but it isn't an honest comparison either.
