Vision One-Eleven probably won't make production, but you might get to sample its tiny EV motor ⚡️
It’s ticked SUVs, saloons and even vans off its electric to-do list, and now it’s setting its sights on the supercar. This is the Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven: a ‘vision’ of what an all-electric two-seater performance car may look like from the three-pointed star – and the sort of clever tech that goes along with it.
You don’t need to put them side by side to see the similarities. The Vision One-Eleven adopts the C111’s low nose, bonnet ducts and slim vents ahead of the rear wheels. The black bars containing the light clusters also serve as a nod to the old prototypes, only the One-Eleven employs external displays with ‘a 3D pixelated look’ to mimic the old car’s lights. The display can be used to convey messages to other road users, too.
It's not kidding. If you’re curious about what the YASA axial-flux electric motor that underpins the Vision One-Eleven concept, just look at the wheels. The British electric motor firm’s founder, Tim Woolmer, claims that “axial-flux motors are significantly lighter and more compact, yet more powerful than comparable radial-flux motors currently used in 99 per cent of all electric cars.
Smaller motors means more space for the One-Eleven’s barmy interior. Looking as though it’s come straight from the set of a late 1990s music video, the cabin is said to take several cues from the company’s F1 machines. You do have to squint a bit to see it, but the steering wheel is allegedly inspired by the wheels Lewis Hamilton and George Russell use is the now-slightly-less-rubbish W14, while the seats have enough adjustment in them to mimic the driving position of a single-seater.
