Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven at the stage

Mercedes-Benz presents a new sports car study.

The Vision One-Eleven combines a highly dynamic design language with innovative all-electric powertrain technology.

The supercar silhouette is characterised by skilful execution of the signature Mercedes-Benz One-Bow design that is a marker of its 21st‑century style.

The development of this design underscores the positioning of the Mercedes-Benz brand, which stands for ICONIC LUXURY.

Its technical highlights include the extremely powerful and highly efficient axial-flux motor developed by electric motor specialist YASA.

The British company has been a 100-percent subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG since July 2021.

The Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven is inspired by the tradition of the legendary C 111 experimental vehicles from the 1960s and 70s, which were used to test revolutionary Wankel and turbodiesel engines.

They were also prototypes for testing polymer-based bodyshells.

The extremely (aero)dynamic mid-engine sports cars are considered design icons of their era, not least due to their distinctive gullwing doors and eye-catching orange-and-black paintwork.
