MERCEDES-BENZ VISION AVTR
Presenting the concept of “mobility in the distant future”, Mercedes-Benz takes cue from another world to design its most recent all-electric concept car, the Vision AVTR, which stands for Advanced Vehicle Transformation. The show car is inspired by the James Cameron’s 2009 mega-successful film Avatar and created in partnership with a team that worked on the movie to showcase the German automaker’s design and tech capabilities. Aimed to connect human, machine and nature in an unprecedented way, Mercedes-Benz describes the car as a “living creature” that can interact with passengers as well as the outside world. Most notably, the vehicle features 33 “bionic flaps” on the rear designed to connect “through naturally flowing movements in subtle gestures” like some amphibians. Inside, it features a completely new way for passengers to interact with the vehicle, which can be operated with hand gestures and biometrics, is able to recognise the driver’s heartbeat and breathing. With its stretched “One Bow” design and organic design language, the Vision AVTR offers a visionary outlook on the design of the future.
