Concept Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven

[Mr. Mercedes]

Beautiful IMO. Pure.

 

[Matski]

... interior like Barbarella's gusset ...

But the outside is an excellent design for a handheld 12V car interior vacuum cleaner.

I thought the very same.
Wagener, pompous dumbass. Took a sharp, angular wedge, rounded every line of it and gave us another jelly mould design. (With lots of vacuum cleaner looks)

I really despise what the germans are doing these days, bar Porsche and the Opel Astra

This is the most authentic and authoritative review LOL!

Love those silver seats. Looks very much like what people in the late sixties thought was futuristic. Who’s the beautiful Lady? Apart from looking more than good, the colour of her nail polish matches her clothes. If that isn’t authorative and a qualification to check this car, I don’t know what is…

To move the thread a bit, two clickbait from our beloved brands when they have a lot of time and money to throw away, in addition to being very managerially indecisive, even knowing that while the designers are sculpting with clay, the executives are looking and nodding their heads.. knowing in advance that they will not produce it.....dick heads

Don’t you guys think its better to have a separate thread for Vision One-Eleven, I can see it’s getting good traction.

Moderators: please do the needful

I like it, very pure and simple design that looks streamlined and points a nice direction for future Mercedes models, with the unusual pixel front and rear light bars.

People said it's a cool design. And yes those light bars are something else!

Another waste of money by MB?

Yes, another waste of money from them, which will piss off their major shareholders, who will kick Ola Kalenius and Tobias Moers out and approve the purchase of Mercedes by Geely.

 

[LaArtist]

I like it, normally I’m not very fond of new based on old.

 

[Pagani]

I like the concept for what it is, something they are not claiming will make it to production.

The car I am waiting for is the production version of the AMG 4-seater electric concept.

BMW does not have enough brand cache to launch a supercar these days.

This is probably one of the reasons they actually never release one.

Another parodi retro design

Wrong statements IMO
It is today the No. 1 luxury car manufacturer in the world, they would do it if they wanted to, and they have plenty of cache to give away,
I clarify that I am the first considering that it is their highest pending subject and a mockery of the fans not to do it, I don't think the company will go bankrupt for that.

They have the money, they have everything, maybe they didn't get to approve "the" design.
Or as they said, it's been in development for a while and it'll be out soon in a couple of years....?

Nah, no way. Sales do not equal prestige or cache.

Who is going to spend 250k in a BMW when they can get an Aston Martin instead? An Aston, a Ferrari, you name it. But those are the brands which can ask for prices beyond a certain level. There is a reason why cars like the second gen R8 have not sell very well.

MB is a bit different, since the company has a history with hypercars and supercars. But it's also quite telling that from SLR to AMG GT, they have kept going one segment down with each generation.

I think that if someone has the cache to do it, it is BMW without even hesitating.
On the other hand, the Halo car for BMW has always been and will be a medium-sized coupe or sedan, like its S-Class for Mercedes.

Having said that, I did not understand why Mercedes would not continue with its supercars, but they more than fulfilled their objective of serving to pull a whole new line of AMG GT coupes, etc., which entered to compete with nothing less than the 911, handling much larger volumes than with the limited series SLR/SLS.

I don't know if BMW will have its best "minds" making the shared platform the best it can be, or if the NK takes all the current resources, but if a Supercar is done, it has to be done well and today the priority of the survival is the NK, the focus is there it is a cold but correct decision, I think we will see the derivative we want after that.

Cannot agree more. BMW passed especially during the last decade a Toyotalisation process concentrating in going downmarket and volume sales.

Mercedes does also turds like B-Class, CLA or GLA but they have G-Class, AMG GT, and …AMG ONE and before there was a supercar every couple of years.
Yet crazy projects like the G 6x6 and G Maybach. Something we won’t get from Audi and BMW.

BMW’s image was trying to stay afloat only on their high performance sedans, but nowadays the hype went abroad and its electric.
The core are VAN’ish looking SUV’s and entry level FW’s. M-Sedans don’t have the power to maintain the brand image anymore as it was 2 decades ago IMO, not when the market changes so rapidly as never before.

 

[dalab]

How many slightly wrong thoughts I just read.

-Before there was a (Mercedes) supercar every couple of years
Which is it? I only remember the wonderful SLR and SLS one every 10 years, not a couple of years.

-BMW passed especially during the last decade a Toyotalisation process concentrating in going downmarket and volume sales.
Of course, in the last decade they created the i8, i8 Roadster, the 8 GC series, 8 convertible and 8 coupe, X7, XM, 7 Series went up a notch, of course all that is downmarket.

-The G 6x6 and G Maybach. Something we won’t get from Audi and BMW.
I didn't know those were supercars, BMW is a bit busy making Rolls Royces a 28 million a piece

-BMW's image was trying to stay afloat
Do you mean since the past decade when it was the No. 1 in the world of luxury cars or now that it is also?

-M-Sedans don't have the power to maintain the brand image anymore as it was 2 decades ago IMO
More M-Sedans are being sold than ever, they are getting more aspirational, and they are getting better and better taking cult status like the M3/M4 - the M5 up to the CS.

What a bunch of rubbish to make it look like there is no cache, there is more cache than ever, the reasons are other.
