Mercedes-Benz is working tirelessly to electrify its entire product inventory, and an electric Mercedes-Benz AMG Roadster may be the brand's next big thing. Markus Schäfer, the company's chief operating officer, noted in a recent interview with Top Gear that an electrified roadster is an emotional product that is vital for brand building.

He also stated that the development of an electric AMG Roadster will not be done in order to set any sales records.

According to Schäfer, demand for roadsters and cabriolets is declining, and it's time to acknowledge this. “China is not a cabriolet market, and in Europe, there are fewer purchasers than there were a few years ago. "However, I believe it is a really appealing and emotional product that helps to promote the brand," he said.

With electric vehicles increasingly gaining traction in the automotive sector, there appears to be a divide among automobile aficionados. Some advocate for the industry's electrification, while others argue that electric vehicles lack the traditional excitement and emotional connection with a car that only combustion engines can deliver. In this context, Mercedes-assurance Benz's that an electric AMG Roadster will be a product that connects with the user is a promising plan.
