Gliding Into Tomorrow: Meet the Retro-Future Vision That Reimagines the Supercar 

Mercedes-Benz Vision One Eleven Concept 

The future of performance is glowing in orange and gliding on electric power. Introducing the Mercedes-Benz Vision One Eleven Concept — a revolutionary fusion of iconic heritage and next-generation innovation. At Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale, we’re excited to explore how this electrified vision pays homage to the trailblazing spirit of the Mercedes-Benz C 111, while boldly redesigning what a supercar can be. 

Reimagining the Past to Define the Future 

The Mercedes-Benz Vision One Eleven Concept doesn’t just draw inspiration from the C 111 — it electrifies its legend. From its copper-infused orange paint to its dramatic gullwing doors, every detail echoes a legacy that helped define performance innovation in the 20th century. 

However, this isn’t retro for retro’s sake. The Vision One Eleven is forward-thinking, embodying the brand’s “One-Bow” design language with sleek lines and an aerodynamic silhouette only 46 inches tall. Opaque side windows with pixel-inspired patterns and polished aluminum touches give it a visual punch that’s as artful as it is functional. 

Inside the Mercedes-Benz Vision One Eleven Concept 

Where most sports cars are all aggression, this one offers duality. The Mercedes-Benz Vision One Eleven Concept design supports two interior moods: Lounge and Race. 

• Lounge Mode welcomes occupants to recline in sculpted leather seats, stitched in silver and white, as if relaxing in a high-end lounge. 

• Race Mode repositions those same seats low and back, optimizing aerodynamics and reinforcing Formula 1 inspirations. 

Retro-tech makes a bold appearance with an 8-bit-style digital dash that lights up in oversized pixels. However, beside the steering wheel is a modern counterpoint: a high-res screen that delivers sharp performance feedback. Moreover, the Magic Leap 2 AR headset brings the cabin to life with a 180-degree user experience. With it, occupants can interact with their surroundings in ways that once only belonged in science fiction. 

Next-Level Performance Meets Precision Engineering 

The Vision One Eleven Concept performance story begins with a compact axial-flux electric motor from YASA, a Mercedes-Benz subsidiary. This motor is more than just small — it’s extraordinarily powerful and highly efficient. Paired with a next-generation liquid-cooled cylindrical battery using Formula 1 cell chemistry, this supercar concept aims to push boundaries in both power delivery and electric range. 

Key Vision One Eleven Concept performance highlights include: 

• High-output axial-flux electric motor 

• Innovative battery design with motorsport influence 

• Low-profile, aerodynamic stance for enhanced handling 

• LED exterior and interior lighting with 3D pixel effects 

• Touchscreen integration on the steering wheel 

• Fully immersive augmented reality driving experience

A Concept with Its Own Lifestyle 

Taking the concept even further, Mercedes-Benz introduced the LIMITED EDITION 1 OF 111 lifestyle line. It includes: 

• A copper-accented weekender bag 

• Orange-and-silver sunglasses and hoodie 

• Matching hat and iPhone 14 Pro case 

Only 111 of each item will be made, keeping the spirit of rarity and exclusivity alive even off the road. 

Driving Toward a Vision Worth Watching 

The Mercedes-Benz Vision One Eleven Concept is more than a showpiece. It represents the brand’s commitment to bold design, pioneering tech, and electric performance. While it remains a concept for now, its influence will undoubtedly shape the road ahead.
