That looks good in isolation, but it doesn't look like a Mercedes. The last one in particular looks like Chinese knockoff. The Mercedes DNA has to be stronger.

The Yangwang U9 already makes 2,977 hp = 2,220 kW = 2.22 MW.

Goodness.
I guess the next target is 3MW then. What is anyone going to do with 3000hp?

Especially the example without the front fender vent. And the application of the faux-radiator grill front shield really works here.

Beautiful automobile-were it only real.

Uh,oh...

M-B on the cusp of simply handing it to the upcoming BMW NKL i3 sedan ?

I think these two sedans aren't going to be too much different in philosophy than the iX3 and GLC electric. I don't think either will be ugly - quite the contrary.

The i3 looks like a Dacia Logan from the profile.

...and eventually, Audi is bound to enter the fray as well.

Regardless, the contest will be interesting.

I don't understand why Mercedes insists on a liftback. It shouldn't be difficult to give it a sedan shape. It makes the car look bloated.

 

[Serpens]

It's not the liftback causing the slight bit of a bloat to me, it's the small windows and high sides. I like that BMW incorporated windows with a good bit of vertical height much like they did back in the golden era days.

Ironically, the i3 has a shorter bonnet.

Oddly, the C-Class EQ sedan remotely reminds me of this:

77 years ago, it may have been pretty cool though.

 

[Design FIRST]

To be fair, when the camouflague comes off, some the precise, "sharp" accentuations of the sheetmetal will help reduce some of the bloated mass witnessed on the foiled prototypes. The wheelarch lips, the sculpturing above the rocker skirts, etc.

So far, not anticipating an "exciting" vehicle in terms of it's exterior design. But perhaps a pleasantly acceptable one. Not unlike the GLC EQ.

Very excited to see what the Audi will look like. New EV A4 will be the first "regular" car designed under Frascella as well as having Rivian's software architecture.

Exactly.

Hopefully two superb vehicles from both again.

 

[Merc1]

Both of them look goofy and untrue to their respective brands when it comes to their proportions. I hope I’m wrong when the camo comes off.

I like the styling from the front to the rear door but the boot and rear window design spoils the profile and rear 3/4 view. The rear window looks too small and the short boot lid running flush too the window lime doesn't suit the car. I have a feeling this car is not a saloon but a lift back to rival the i4
