On May 20th, the Mercedes-AMG Vision AMG Concept Car made its global debut. This is a high-performance pure electric vehicle model developed from scratch based on the AMG.EA architecture platform, which is still under development.
Design Features
The entire vehicle design is very smooth, with minimal opening and closing elements and seams.
The shark-nose front end design is impressive, with a waterfall-style grille and a closed design integrated into the front end. Three LED elements are arranged into a three-pointed star emblem with a distinctive style, maximizing brand recognition. A horizontal light bar runs between the two large headlights, containing daytime running lights and welcome signs.
The rear of the car features circular tail lights, with three LED halos located in cylindrical light pipes on each side. The rear design integrates an active wing, with an extreme slope that makes the vehicle appear more slender from the side view and optimizes aerodynamics. The through-type tail light runs around the back of the vehicle, with built-in optical elements that create a vivid visual contrast with the oversized black AMG emblem.
From the side view, the long wheelbase, sharp angle A-pillar positioned far forward, short front overhang and slightly longer aerodynamically optimized rear overhang make the sporty proportions especially apparent.
Performance-oriented
All the power-related components of the Vision AMG concept car were developed positively from scratch, including the AMG.EA platform architecture itself, as well as dedicated high-performance high-voltage batteries and drive technology. The axial flux electric motor developed by YASA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, provides far more powerful performance than conventional motors with its compact and lightweight design.
The Vision AMG concept car adopts a four-door design, which maximizes both performance and functionality. Based on a brand-new architecture design, the battery pack is located lower than existing electric vehicles, and with intelligent internal floor design, it provides a comfortable and spacious seating area for four passengers.
Final Words
This is probably another demonstration of the determination of Mercedes-Benz in the electrification transformation.
Previously, the performances of SLS AMG Electric Drive, self-developed E PERFORMANCE hybrid technology, and the all-new pure electric AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ have demonstrated Mercedes-Benz’s professional technical reserves in the high-performance electrification field.
The birth of the Vision AMG concept car indicates how Mercedes-Benz will apply the pure DNA of AMG to the new platform of high-performance pure electric vehicles to be released in 2025.
In Mercedes-Benz’s own words, “AMG is reshaping itself”.
