CONTACT INFO@COVER-IMAGES.COM TO RECEIVE.** Mercedes-Benz has unveiled it's latest concept vehicle - and it looks like something straight out of a Back to the Future movie. The EQ Silver Arrow was unveiled at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Held in Pebble Beach, California the event attracts car collectors from all over the world. The Mercedes-Benz EQ Silver Arrow is an electric one-seater that pays homage to the brand’s original W 125 race car, which in 1937 set the record for fastest land-speed vehicle on a public road by traveling nearly 270 miles per hour. Structurally made from carbon fiber and coated in alubeam silver, the EQ Silver Arrow features a clear, seamless design, measuring approximately 5.3 meters long. Its slender yet sensuous aesthetic brightly starts at the front with a continuous lighting strip that flows to the side skirts. At the rear, the diffuser is reminiscent of Motorsport, detailing two extendable spoilers that act as an air brake. Complementing the colorway, the lightweight aluminum wheels comprise of 168 spokes per wheel that are painted in a rose gold color. The interior blends timeless aesthetic appeal with futuristic visions. For a start, the driver’s cockpit adorns traditional, high quality materials, such as brushed aluminum and walnut details, and saddle brown leather on the seat and steering wheel. On the high-tech spectrum, its features include a large projection surface for the panoramic screen, which superimposes inductive charging spots on to it. Furthermore, its artificial intelligence allows users to enter into a virtual race against either historic or present ‘Silver Arrow’ racing cars. "Over 80 years ago, the historic Silver Arrows demonstrated that Mercedes-Benz was a pioneer when it came to speed thanks, among other things, to their streamlined shape," says Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer at Daimler AG. "The Vision EQ Silver Arrow draws on that legacy. Intended for acceleration and driving pleasure, it embodies progressive luxury and provides an insight into the future of our design. As a result, the show car drives the design idiom of our new EQ product and technology brand to the top."
