Mercedes salutes the past with a new electric concept

Mercedes-Benz released the first images of a new concept as it debuted at the Pebble Beach Elegance Contest in 2018, the Progressive Aesthetics Luxury.

The concept inspires simplified Silver Arrow racing cars in the 1930s, with special attention given to the car that, 90 years ago,
sent Rudolf Caracciola to a world speed record on public roads. He reportedly managed 432.9 km / h on the motorway between Frankfurt and Darmstadt,
record that was only broken last year by Koenigsegg.

Back at the concept car, the bizarre rear end "embodies dynamism and speed in a fascinating way," according to the Mercedes design team.
intrigued by the balance between form and function, leading to this interesting new concept.

While future Mercedes-Benz EQ models will not look like pre-war race cars, some of the conceptual elements of the concept will eventually trickle. The rumor has
that Merc is working on a version of the Aesthetics Progressive Luxury headlamp of the EQ sub-brand

Nothing has yet surfaced regarding the performance or performance, but the latest MB halo electric car was the SLS AMG Electric Drive. This model had a 551kW
the powertrain so the EQ range-topper probably aims to beat that.

The first EQ brand car should be the EQC, planned for a 2019 version.
