Mercedes-Benz has revealed a new sports car study.
Called the Vision One-Eleven, the car takes after the hallowed C111, although the marque's keener fans will also note the use of Mercedes' more recent One-Bow design as utilised on the EQS and EQE models.
The Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven gets wheels designed after the windings of an electric motor Just as the Mercedes-Benz C111 was used to test revolutionary Wankel and turbodiesel engines, this new Vision One-Eleven also gets a new drivetrain for the modern age.
The sports car study is said to utilise new battery concept that features liquid-cooled cylindrical cells that utilise a new chemistry, developed by experts from Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrain, located in Brixworth U.K. This battery technology is then paired with a new axial-flux motor from Oxford-based British electric-motor specialist YASA.
This new electric motor design is said to be one-third the weight of conventional electric motor with the same power output, while requiring just one-third of the space. And perhaps most interestingly, Mercedes states that the technology is already set to be produced at the Mercedes-Benz Berlin-Marienfelde plant, to be installed into the powertrain of its forthcoming performance vehicles.
The concept sports an axial-flux motor, said to be one-third the weight of conventional electric motor with the same power output But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven exists here and now. And it is gorgeous.
The aforementioned One-Bow design for the concept comes from its low-slung front and muscular hind quarters. A nod to the C111, no doubt, takes the form of the use of a deep orange paintwork, tinged with a hint of copper.
Other design highlights here include the use of gullwing doors and side windows, camouflaged by a pixelated pattern. The electricians among us will also note the use of structured elements within the wheel design, which evoke the windings of an electric motor.
And at the rear, the Vision One-Eleven gets a massive diffuser, above which stands a display that mirrors the shape of the front, and featuring the same pixelated structure in the red taillights.
The interior of the concept sports a slender pixel display, which sits on a dashboard that is upholstered in 100% recycled polyester Step into the Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven and you'll notice the use of orange remains, here contrasted against surfaces including the dashboard upholstered in 100% recycled white recycled polyester fabric, as well as bright orange leather which appears on the armrests on the sills and center console, as well as the rear parcel shelf.
This dashboard houses a slender pixel display, which has been intentionally given a coarse structure so as to give the information displayed - such as the current speed - a bold appearance.
Polished aluminum, meanwhile, is utilised on the steering-wheel spokes and inlaid as straps across the armrests, as well as the brake and accelerator pedals, both of which are made from polished aluminum and floor mounted.
Mercedes states that the concept also utilises a visionary user experience with the aid of augmented reality, produced via a headset that displays high-definition digital content that is contextually integrated into their surroundings.
Here's hoping that unlike the Mercedes-Benz C111, this Vision One-Eleven does not disappear without seeing series production.
