The German brand already works on a model that will present an unpublished and revolutionary platform for the automotive industry.
Contrary to what many imagine, technological advances in the automotive industry do not arise immediately. Its development usually requires years (or even decades) of research, essays and corrections before reaching the market. Sometimes, these advances end up applying in sectors very different from those that were originally thought.
The automotive world is a clear example of this process. Although the total electrification of the vehicles was announced a long time ago as the next big step, its implementation has been irregular. 100% electric car sales have experienced ups and downs, and in many cases hybrid models gained ground.
Despite that, the great automakers never stopped the investigation. Each brand chose its own way to define what to offer in the short, medium and long term. In the case of Mercedes-Benzthis vision flowed into an unpublished platform: the AMG.EAdesigned exclusively for fully electric sports vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz looks to the future: this is the new sportsman who promises to be the most powerful in the world
This new chassis will be the basis for several AMG models of the future, including a four -door coupé, a high performance SUV and a biplaza compact. It also gave rise to a concept car that inherits the spirit of the historical One-Eleventhe prototype with rotary engine that the German brand presented in the 60s but never led to production.
Although it visually keeps many similarities with that icon, technology is completely different. This current concept uses Electric Axial Flow motorsmuch lighter and powerful than conventional ones. Manufactured in a plant near Berlineach weighs less than 25 kg and delivers up to 476 horsepower. In its most radical configuration, the car could incorporate three of these enginesreaching a combined power greater than 1400 hp. It is estimated that it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just two seconds and overcome the 320 km/h of maximum speed.

But the real technological leap is on the battery. Mercedes-Benz It is developing a 100 kWh package With anodes of siliconreplacing the traditional graphite. This innovation would allow to achieve an autonomy of more than 600 kilometersa substantial advance with respect to current standards. Technology is developing together with High Performance PowerTrainthe responsible division of the hybrid engines of their cars of Formula 1.
In terms of design, the new model refers to the legendary C111but it is not simply to pay tribute. This concept does not point to a serial production, but to explore the limits of design, efficiency and performance in the era of electrical mobility.
