Mercedes-Benz Eq Silverish Arrow Ev Concept

At Pebble Beach inwards California, Mercedes-Benz is unveiling the Vision EQ Silver Arrow demonstrate machine during Monterey Car Week, which is beingness held from eighteen to 26 August 2018. The trial attracts machine aficionados too collectors from all over the world. The one-seater vehicle is also an homage to the successful record-breaking westward 125 machine from 1937. The paintwork inwards alubeam argent is reminiscent of the historic Silver Arrows which, for weight reasons, did non select a white pigment layer. The interior is dominated yesteryear traditional, high-quality materials such equally genuine leather, polished aluminium too corporation walnut. The digital cockpit, meanwhile, points straight into the future: It includes a curved panoramic shroud with dorsum projection, equally good equally a touchscreen integrated into the steering wheel.

"Over eighty years ago, the historic Silver Arrows demonstrated that Mercedes-Benz was a pioneer when it came to speed thanks, alongside other things, to their streamlined shape," says Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer at Daimler AG. "The Vision EQ Silver Arrow draws on that legacy. Intended for acceleration too driving pleasure, it embodies progressive luxury too provides an insight into the hereafter of our design. As a result, the demonstrate machine drives the blueprint idiom of our novel EQ production too applied scientific discipline construct to the top."

The EQ construct is shaped yesteryear the avant-garde, distinct aesthetic of Progressive Luxury. This arises from the combination of a previously unknown beauty, the witting clash of digital too analogue elements equally good equally the seamless merging of intuitive too physical design.

The exterior: sporty silhouette

With its clear, seamless design, the blueprint idiom of the Vision EQ Silver Arrow is a brand-specific embodiment of the blueprint philosophy of Sensual Purity. The streamlined silhouette of the about 5.3-metre long too about i metre shallow one-seater vehicle is slender all the same sensuous.

The demonstrate car's trunk construction is made of carbon fibre. The multiple layers of paintwork inwards alubeam argent appear similar liquid metallic over the top. This concept represents the blueprint polar opposites of "hot" too "cold". Functional attachment parts made of carbon fibre such equally the forepart splitter epitomise the cool too rational aspect of this philosophy. The same applies to the forepart trim designed equally a display, equally good equally the continuous lighting strip at the front. The side skirts also characteristic a lighting strip too the large, recessed EQ lettering inwards forepart of the nurture wheels is illuminated bluish equally is characteristic of the brand.

Other highlights include the driver's cockpit, which tin go folded forwards, too the partially free-standing multi-spoke wheels. The non-rotating hub caps too the partial trim on the wheels are other fashionable too innovative highlights. The 168 spokes per bicycle are made of lightweight aluminium too are painted a rose gilt colour equally is typical for EQ.

Offering particular traction too correspondingly fast acceleration, the Vision EQ Silver Arrow has slick 255/25 R 24 tyres at the forepart too 305/25 R 26 tyres at the rear. Attesting to the attending to detail, tyre partner Pirelli has helped to realise a star pattern on the tread.

The nurture diffuser is reminiscent of motorsport. Two extendible nurture spoilers deed equally an air brake yesteryear increasing the current of air resistance when deceleration is desired.

Interior: betwixt tradition too modernity

The interior of the Vision EQ Silver Arrow represents the values of Progressive Luxury. The blueprint idiom combines timeless aesthetic appeal with futuristic visions.

When the driver's cockpit is folded forwards, it provides a sentiment of the surprisingly broad interior. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 contrast brings it to life: On the i hand, it uses traditional, high-quality materials. These include saddle chocolate-brown genuine leather on the spot too steering wheel, polished aluminium throughout the interior too corporation walnut with darker coniferous forest pinstripes on the floor. This creates a couplet dorsum to the historic racing cars of the Silver Arrow era. On the other hand, modern, high-tech solutions such equally the large projection surface for the panoramic shroud too innovative user sense solutions such equally the virtual race selection (see below) correspond the EQ's typically visionary character. This contrast is an intentional merging of yesteryear too future.

The sitting surface too backrest select an odd pattern which is aligned with the spot contour: Stars select been stitched inwards with the assist of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation engraving. AIRSCARF neck-level heating is integrated into the seat. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 four-point seatbelt inspired yesteryear motorsport holds the driver securely inwards place. The pedals tin go adapted to the driver's specific stature, with a controller located on the spot for adjusting the pedals.

To correspond the outside pigment complete inwards alubeam silver, the side walls of the interior are covered inwards a luxurious, greyish suede.

Double shroud too virtual racing

The driver of the Vision EQ Silver Arrow is encompassed yesteryear a large panoramic shroud on which a 3D icon of the environment is projected from behind. As a pointer to hereafter possible charging technologies, the lane of the roadway on which inductive charging is possible is superimposed onto the screen.

With the assist of artificial tidings it is possible to engage inwards a virtual race against historic or introduce Silver Arrow racing cars. For this a virtual racetrack is superimposed onto the existent roadway on the panoramic shroud too the driver sees their opponent either ahead of them or behind them equally a "ghost". The Virtual Race Coach assistance business office helps you lot larn a ameliorate driver yesteryear giving instructions during the race.

There is also a touchscreen on the steering wheel. The driver tin usage it to select programs such equally Comfort, Sport too Sport+, which offering unlike driving characteristics. Sound settings tin also go configured here: Choices include the audio of a electrical flow Formula 1 Silver Arrow or a Mercedes-AMG V8 engine.

Emission-free displace system

The Vision EQ Silver Arrow is conceived equally an electrical vehicle. This still Silver Arrow has an output of 550 kW (750 hp). The sparse rechargeable battery inwards the underbody has a useable capacity of approx. eighty kWh too enables a calculated arrive at of over 400 km according to the WLTP. Side air vents assist to cool the battery.

The EQ concept vehicles: outlook for electrical cars inwards all segments

With the Concept EQA, Mercedes-Benz demonstrated how the EQ strategy tin go translated to the compact shape at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. Featuring i electrical motor on the forepart axle too i at the rear, this electrical athlete has a organisation output of over 200 kW. The displace characteristics tin go altered yesteryear varying the permanent all-wheel drive's forepart to nurture torque distribution. The Concept EQA shows which displace programme has been selected on a unique virtual radiator grille.

At the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, smart presented the smart vision EQ fortwo – an electrical too autonomous vision for highly efficient too flexible local populace transport. Autonomous too electric-powered, the smart vision EQ presents a consistent concept for the hereafter of urban mobility too the hereafter of machine sharing. The vehicle picks upward its passengers straight from their chosen location too has no steering bicycle or pedals.

The Concept EQ, unveiled at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, heralded the novel EQ production too applied scientific discipline construct – a concept vehicle with the looks of a sporty SUV coupé that pre-empted many elements of the Mercedes-Benz EQC, which comes onto the marketplace inwards 2019.

The inspiration: the the world record-breaking vehicle from 1937

The purpose model for the Vision EQ Silver Arrow is the westward 125 twelve-cylinder, record-breaking machine which Mercedes-Benz built inwards 1937 on the soil of the Grand Prix racing car.

For the novel trunk inwards 1937, Mercedes-Benz was inspired greatly yesteryear the aviation industry: Examples include the recommendation from the evolution departments of the aircraft factories of Ernst Heinkel too Willy Messerschmitt to shorten the forepart overhang too to construct the forepart to a greater extent than rounded. The forepart was also extended farther downwards too ended to a greater extent than steeply at the tip. As desired, this reduced elevator on the forepart axle. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 longer too to a greater extent than strongly raised nurture reduced elevator on the nurture axle. One striking characteristic – too inspiration for the designers of the Vision EQ Silver Arrow – was the circular cockpit glazing modelled on a driblet of H2O inwards price of outline too cross-section.

With it, Rudolf Caracciola achieved 432.7 km/h on the A5 autobahn betwixt Frankfurt too Darmstadt based on the average speed travelling at that spot too back. This speed tape on populace roads stood until Nov 2017.
