Mercedes unveils its car of the future [CES]

[RedRound2]

Mercedes-Benz reveals its version of the car of the future, the F015​ Luxury in Motion

 

 

I have mixed feeling of the exterior but the interior looks pretty awesome and futuristic

 

Here are some 'glamour' shots

 

 

 

[soaringchicken]

ewww ugly, does anyone really expect us to be driving around in this?

[Maheshvara]

I usually like Merc's style, but this is just ugly... A car isn't a car without headlights, that look like headlights.....

[Fate]

Jesus that looks horrible, but in twenty years I probably won't say the same thing.

[Orblivion]

Oh my god is that thing hideous, its a good thing they'll never actually make it.

[RichardsD]

Uh.. wow I think.  Although with full electric, I honestly see no reason for manufacturers to keep the traditional style of hoods.  Tesla is only doing I think to stay within the status quo, there's really no reason for it.  

 

Certainly a .. bold? design.  

[xToFxREAPER]

What. The. Actual. F*CK. Is that thing! its an abomination to the car industry. I would drive a daewoo lanos before that ugly hunk of "luxury"

[Trik'Stari]

How I would react to the engineer that designed the looks of that car, if I was his boss, being presented with it.

[brownninja97]

design team kudos to you, you guys must be very clever if you managed to get this pathetic design onto a car.

[Manny Calavera]

so they want future to be like in those old sci fi movies.

k.

 

 

(i secretly dig the interior)

[pk-man]

did homer simpson design that "thing"?

[totjup5]

That looks like what people in the 50's thought we'd be driving in 2015... 

[ShadowCaptain]

so basically its like your own private but drivable shuttle

[Mooshi]

The more firms try to make something look futuristic, the more it looks like an ugly leftover from the 50's in what futuristic is supposed to look like.

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

Ewwwww

Yeah, all of this. But its better looking than this.

[xToFxREAPER]

-snip-

Why does it have a face.. Its creeping me out!

[cesrai]

Fugly.

[Orblivion]

@zacRupnow  At least I can laugh at that one though, the Mercedes is just pathetic.

[Toddwjp]

i like the cabin.

[HermanT]

so they watched some sci-fi movies where everything "futuristic" = "chrome" and made a car full of chrome... because logic...

 

WHEEEERE? WHEEEREEE was the thought?

[zacRupnow]

@zacRupnow  At least I can laugh at that one though, the Mercedes is just pathetic.

yeah, it looks like the designer tried to make a Jaguar with PlayDoh 

[JAKEBAB]

I swear ive seen the inside photo ages ago

I hate these futuristic looking cars i want there to be r34's, r32's, 200sx's, hawk eye subaru's and evo 10's forever

[ForsakenLive]

Why none of you get that this is a play in the design for future self driving cars?

Currently this doesn't make much sense, but there is space left when you have a tiny electric motor and no need for components to interact with the driver, just a place to be sit down and wait or chill with your family/friends. We can get cars thinner and shorter, to increase the amounts of cars it can fit on a road.

As it is now, this car is not electric or self driving,  but the design comes closer to what we should expect in the next 10 years.

[Umair]

Everybody calm down, it's only a concept and will most probably stay that way.

 

Uh.. wow I think.  Although with full electric, I honestly see no reason for manufacturers to keep the traditional style of hoods.  Tesla is only doing I think to stay within the status quo, there's really no reason for it.

The "traditional style" helps with aerodynamics, which is something the entire industry will shift focus towards to achieve greater fuel economy.
