If you have visions, you should go to the doctor. A stupid saying. If you want to change the world, you need visions. Well, not necessarily the Vision 6 from Mercedes-Maybach, but that would be a completely different problem. Welcome to “What kind of 1 car is that? !!!?!”
VISION Mercedes-Maybach 6
Almost six meters long, two doors, endless bonnet, buttocks and nasty LED slots as headlights, wrapped in an erotic red color with a delicious depth effect and a lot, lots of brilliance. You could kneel in front of the massive radiator grille, let yourself be hypnotized in love or simply turn around on your heel. The “VISION Mercedes-Maybach 6” already presented in Pebble Beach polarizes. If it were painted black, it would be the official car of film villains, in white the matching carriage for Snow White 2052. Or in a matt gray the space shuttle from Darth Vader. We definitely want to avoid the image of “hot and cold”, of technology and eroticism, of “sensual clarity”, which has been heavily used by Mercedes-Benz. This car is maximally pörnos, even if the bridge to Maybach's history is badly knitted and not very resilient.
Of course, the VISION Mercedes-Maybach 6 is purely electrically powered. Of course, it performs to the maximum. 750 hp and all-wheel drive. Four seconds to 100, speed 250 purely electric. 500 kilometers range. Any number can be used, because the pure feasibility is simply not the point. It's designer pornography and craft. It is “what if ...” that is formed in sheet metal. Without worrying about remaining spring travel, crash and crumple zones or feasibility studies - no matter what is on the data sheet. The red paint should seduce. The long shape arouses phallus cravings and only asexual beings would turn around bored.
