The presentation of the new Mercedes show car was held at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The unmanned novelty was dubbed the phrase Vision AVTR, in which the reference to the movie “Avatar” was encrypted.

The alien world of the film by director James Cameron served as a source of inspiration for the authors of the concept. Design AVTR designed with an eye on the nature of the planet Pandora. The machine received a squat bio-body with massive arches and a bright blue backlight that extended to optics, spherical wheels and the interior of the prototype.

Also, the Mercedes-Benz team tried to beat the theme of the symbiosis of man and nature shown in the film. AVTR equipped with transparent door panels, cocoon seats and a special heart rate sensor that displays the rhythm of the heartbeat of passengers using the backlight.

For the sake of ecology, the interior of the concept was made of recycled materials like artificial leather and the roots of long dead trees. Batteries harmful to nature have been replaced with less dangerous analogues that work according to the principles of organic chemistry. Their capacity is 110 kWh, and the power reserve is immodest 700 km. The AVTR is a 470-horsepower electric car.

AVTR has no familiar controls. The machine is completely autonomous. But there is a fully-controlled chassis that allows the show car to move almost diagonally.

Of course, the AVTR will not go into the Mercedes Vision series. The design and concept for the real world are painfully bold. But in the upcoming sequel of Avatar, such a machine will surely light up.
