The Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven epitomises luxury car design, showcasing avant-garde features and technology that provide a sneak peek into tomorrow's automotive industry. Let's delve into the futuristic highlights that sets this vehicle apart.
Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven inherits the essence of the iconic C 111 and manifests an innovative design and all-electric drive technology, propelling the sporty luxury to a new horizon.
The concept car embodies the automaker's iconic luxury with its signature One-Bow design and powerful axial-flux motor from YASA, a 100% subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG since July 2021. Inspired by the 1960s and 70s C 111 experimental vehicles, the mid-engine sports car flaunts gullwing doors and striking orange-and-black paintwork, and remains a design landmark to this day.
Exterior and interior design
The Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven boasts a striking physique centering on the One-Bow design. Its low-slung front, muscular hind quarters and flush-fit gullwing doors flow gracefully together, giving its 1,170 mm-high body an architectural quality.
