Humans in symbiosis with AVTR Vision

This 100% electric Mercedesoffers a futuristic design taken from James Cameron's films. It features two large, fully-glazed doors and a large windscreen that can give the driver the impression of being in a bubble. driver the impression of being in a bubble.. This concept car has only two front seats, which look more like lounge chairs than driving seats, which should provide real comfort for passengers. To accompany them, it will simply be a lap belt without the vertical strap.


One surprising thing is thathere is no steering wheel in this car.. As you may know, in the film Avatar, the Na'vis are in symbiosis with their various mounts, and James Cameron and the Mercedes team wanted the same for this electric car. That's why, to drive this car, you have to place the palm of your hand on a large control center, equipped with artificial intelligencelocated between the two seats. To finish with the vehicle's interior, the dashboard serves as the central screen, so a large space is entirely devoted to it.

AVTR Vision merges with nature

The first thing we notice about the car's exterior is its highly aerodynamic shape. aerodynamic shape. This means there's virtually no wind resistance, which in turn greatly enhances the car's range. We can also see that this Mercedes electric has 33 flaps calledBionic Flap"to further improve the vehicle's aerodynamics. Mercedes has also announced that these flaps are there to communicate with the outside world.

Let's move on to the wheels, designed to resemble the seeds of the Tree of Souls in Avatar.They allow you to move forward in a straight line, but also diagonally and sideways, like a crab.

The second thing less visible to the naked eye is the composition of the materials. This electric car is made from entirely recyclable and vegan materials. The leather in the cabin is made from vegetable leather, and the wood in the floor is made from dead wood from the Amazon rainforest. As for the presence of plastic, it is derived from recycled materials.

A small detail that makes this car even more incredible is that it was hand-built and therefore very fragile.

What are the capabilities of the Mercedes Vision ATVR?

The Mercedes Vision AVTR is part of the brand's electric range alongside the Mercedes EQS or the Mercedes EQC. In keeping with the idea of a futuristic vehicle, this one doesn't have a lithium-ion battery like most electric vehicles, but a but a graphene battery with a capacity of 110 kWh. Graphene is a very light material, so the vehicle is not weighed down by the weight of a conventional battery. The vehicle is rated at 345 kW, equivalent to 470 horsepower. In terms of power, this concept car is very similar to the Ford Mustang Mach-E in GT trim.

In terms of range, the Mercedes Vision AVTR is capable of covering 700 km on a single charge. Given that this car is not intended for the general public, we don't have much information on recharging, but Mercedes has announced that it can be recharged in just 15 minutes. Surely by plugging into a charging station charging station.

Finally, on the subject of speed, due to its fragility, it can only reach 56 km/h..

Unfortunately, the Vision AVTR will remain just a concept car, but it may pave the way for many future future electric cars that could one day be on the automotive market.
