The dream car arises from unfamiliar beauty, which combines digital and analog elements. Plus, the seamless merging of the intuitive physical design.
Futuristic Interior of a Dream Car
When you hop inside, you meet a stylish and luxurious outlook similar to Mercedes E-Class. The floor has solid walnut finishing while the fine leather covers a part of the cockpit. Plus, one seat on the center of the car that’s comfortable enough to slumber. And a four-point safety harness that keeps you tucked in the seat.
On the steering wheel, you have a mounted touchscreen with multiple functions. For example, the button for choosing between the drive modes, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+. An on-board jukebox button, which plays to your choice of sound output. And in front, you have a small roll bar for safety purposes.
Mercedes added an extra on the cockpit, a race simulation game. If you play virtual racing, the virtual track appears on the front aero screen. What’s more? You can race against a virtual car and get advice from a race coach on how to improve your skills.
Exterior Outlook of this “Show Car”

Besides, the car has functional attachments of carbon fiber parts. For example, the front splitter exemplifies the philosophy of a rational aspect and coolness. Too, the front trim, looks like a display.
On the front, they framed the headlights with a blue LED lighting. The side skirts have a continuous strip of blue light. Also, this dream car features a recessed EQ lettering illuminating near the front wheels.
