Mercedes-Benz has showcased the Vision One-Eleven concept at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai. Drawing inspiration from the iconic C111 experimental vehicles of the 1960s and 1970s, the Vision One-Eleven is the fifth exclusive ‘concept car’ showcased by Mercedes-Benz in India, following the Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6 coupé, AMG GT6, Electric G-Class, and the exquisite The Project Maybach.
Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven: Exterior
Showcased in the heart of the cultural centre, the concept mid-engined electric sports car features a sleek, aerodynamic body designed to minimize drag and maximize performance. Its state-of-the-art electric powertrain delivers rapid acceleration and impressive top speeds, underscoring Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to sustainable mobility.
The use of advanced materials such as carbon fiber and lightweight alloys, enhances the vehicle’s efficiency and performance, ensuring an exhilarating driving experience. Accentuating its appearance are the distinctive gullwing doors and a striking dual-tone orange and black paint work.
Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven: Interiors
The interior of the Vision One-Eleven is a haven of luxury and technological innovation. The minimalist design, crafted with premium materials, exudes elegance and sophistication. Advanced infotainment systems and seamless connectivity keep occupants connected to their digital world. The vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities offer a glimpse into the future of mobility, promising a safe, comfortable, and convenient driving experience.
Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven: Powertrain
The vehicle utilizes a high-performance battery system featuring liquid-cooled cylindrical cells with a novel cell chemistry. This advanced battery technology, developed in collaboration with Mercedes-AMG High-Performance Powertrain, is designed to deliver exceptional power and energy density. The liquid cooling system helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, ensuring peak performance and longevity.
The Vision One-Eleven is equipped with two high-performance axial-flux electric motors. Axial-flux motors offer several advantages over traditional radial-flux motors. Their compact design allows for a smaller and lighter vehicle package, making them ideal for electric vehicles.
Additionally, these motors can deliver significant power and torque in a relatively small footprint, resulting in high power density. Furthermore, axial-flux motors can operate at higher efficiencies, reducing energy consumption and extending the driving range of electric vehicles. By leveraging these advanced technologies, the Vision One-Eleven represents a significant step forward in electric vehicle performance and efficiency.
