The German marque makes heads turn yet again with its new Mercedes Vision One-Eleven Hypercar concept. With this new design the luxury automotive giant returns to its C-111 concept from 1969 and reimagines it for the future. So, get ready to take off into a new era of sporty luxury. The C-111 was first shown at the 1969 Frankfurt motor show and comprised of 16 versions that the marque used as test beds for several power trains. In between concerns with the engine, body construction, and the subsequent fuel crisis of the 1970s, the dream of a production C-111 never came to be. Now Mercedes has reimagined the car with the new Vision One-Eleven, an electric take on the classic that is not only a study in design but, like its inspiration, is a showcase for emerging supercar technology.
