Meet the Mercedes-Benz Vision Duet, the next impossible concept for the luxury automaker to conquer! - Yanko Design

Fast forward to the twelvemonth 2035 and you'll be riding in the cozy confines of your luxury coupe for your next monkeyshines – connecting with nature similar never before. That'south what designer Lujie Huang has proposed for millennials to be close to nature and also with their close ones. As a part of his senior thesis, while studying at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, Lujie thought of creating a 3-seat grand tour which has an inside out design approach. According to him, "The objective is to capture the magical moments of user feel offered by autonomous vehicles as a part of our lifestyles."

He calls this luxury coup of the hereafter "Mercedes-Benz Vision Duet" and it has the essence of marine blueprint influence and by the Mobius strip (yep, the same one that inspired Tony Stark!) The coupe has cocooned seating embodied with an open seating experience, much similar the two-seater coupe convertible. Huang believes that autonomous electric vehicles volition be a common thing past the 2030s. Given the level v democratic pattern of the Vison Duet, the car carries that very imagination with no driving controls like steering cycle, pedals, or gear shifters. The within-out approach is evident in the comfortable forward-facing seats and a center tabular array inside the motel. On the one side on the forepart, there'southward a retracting storage drawer for food and utensils while on the opposite side there is a congenital-in mini-fridge. When the car is parked amidst nature, the drinking glass roof retracts and the 3rd seat opposite the conventional seating area (inspired by the seating layout of leisure boats) tin be used for enjoying the surrounding view with your pals. On the outside, the machine impresses with an iconic Mercedes-Benz grille and the rear sporting a strikingly cool bumper design.

The EV also derives inspiration from the classics of the past, blending it with modern luxury which is apparent from the overall flowing pattern on the coupe. In a mode, information technology too looks influenced by the very future-frontward and practical Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR (the names sound similar too). The only predicament of the design and functionality with Huang's iteration is its practicality! The lack of doors makes rubber an issue. Besides, not to ignore the ability of the EV to achieve high speeds since the aerodynamic drag would arrive impossible for the riders to get away with chunky hair after a long trip! The fun is when the car is parked and you can savour in the luxury of a picnic-like setup. Perhaps, the addition of articulate glass doors that can be retracted is a more than viable choice for the riders to feel safe. Maybe Mercedes should ask Tony Stark to share his input afterwards all the Mobius strip did aid him breakthrough one hard trouble already!
