Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven Concept
Mercedes-Benz introduced the C111 concept car in 1969, leading to a series of four concepts that explored everything from Wankel rotary engines to diesel and turbocharging, all in a package that was nothing short of revolutionary for the German automaker. The Vision One Eleven concept aims to recapture the C111, updating the original's sleek bodywork for the 21st century with a powertrain to match. The Vision One Eleven uses Mercedes' "One-Bow" design language, resulting in a sculptured body with windows that fade into the gullwing doors, with a similar 3D pixel-themed rear light treatment. The front and rear light panels can change on the fly from head and brake lights to nearly any kind of design or text. The interior is no less stunning than the exterior, with seats covered in silver diamond-stitched upholstery and a pixelated screen that spans the width of the cabin. British firm YASA, now owned by Mercedes, provided the axial-flux motors that power the Vision One Eleven, used by some of the fastest electric super and hypercars in the world. Mercedes gave no indication of whether the One Eleven will see production, but expect the car's details to filter down to future production models.
