As you've seen two days ago, James Cameron unveiled Avatar 2 concept-arts during the presentation by Ola Källenius, chairman of Daimler AG and head of Mercedes-BenzCars, of the “Vision AVTR” concept-car, a vehicle with a look inspired by Cameron’s Avatar movie. Cameron joined on stage and talked about working with the German car manufacturer on the “Vision AVTR” concept vehicle, including about the importance of sustainability.
The concept-car will not be unfortunately, as most concept-cars, commercialized though some ideas may come in normal cars in the future. And, boy, all the ideas put in this concept-car are truly amazing, and i have great pictures and not-to-be-missed videos of it for you!
For once, let's start with the videos and this first short one is the official one released by Daimler, it will show you briefly this amazing concept-car.
But the video to DON'T miss is the next one below filmed by Supercar Blondie, explaining how stunning is the Vision AVTR inspired by Avatar.
And now more details and great pictures of the Mercedes Vision AVTR coming from Mercedes official site HERE where you'll learn even more about the Vision AVTR! According to Daimler, the “Vision AVTR” name stands not only for “Avatar” but also “Advanced Vehicle TRansformation.” The company says the concept vehicle has an “organic design language” and “combines inside and outside into an emotional whole” in a look inspired by several creatures from Cameron’s movie.
Describing the Vision AVTR as “a living creature,” Daimler said the car has 33 “bionic flaps” on the back — reminiscent of reptilian scales — that can communicate with the driver (and “through the driver”) via naturally flowing movements in subtle gestures.
The car has the ability to drive the front and rear axles in the same or opposite direction, which means the Vision AVTR can move sideways by approximately 30 degrees in a “crab movement.”
Other creature-y features of the Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR: Instead of a conventional steering wheel, there’s a multifunctional control element in the center console that recognizes the driver by his or her heartbeat and breathing. A curved display module creates a visual connection between passengers and the outside world, according to Daimler. In addition, a passenger can simply lift their hand to have a menu selection projected onto their palm.
The concept car also uses organic battery technology made of recyclable materials that is completely free of rare earths and metals and is compostable. The Vision AVTR uses sustainable materials, including seats covered by “vegan Dinamica leather” and a floor decorated with an Indonesian wood called Karuun."
