Mercedes has introduced a subscription to accelerate to 100 km / h 0.9 seconds faster for some cars for $ 1,200 per year.

The Acceleration Increase feature, for an additional fee, allows drivers to access improved engine performance that their car is already capable of from the factory. The Acceleration Boost subscription programmatically increases the power of Mercedes-EQ EQE 350 4MATIC, Mercedes-EQ EQE SUV 350 4MATIC and Mercedes-EQ EQS SUV 450 4MATIC electric vehicles by 20-24%, increasing torque and reducing it by about 0.8-0, 9 seconds acceleration from zero to 100 km / h.
