Mercedes Supercar C.S.V Concept With BCI System

The Mercedes Benz Cyborg Sensation Vehicle, or C.S.V., is a concept car imagined by Chinese designer Derek Chik Kin Ng. The C.S.V. is an off-road capable, two-seater supercar, Inspired by the Mercedes F400 concept, designed back in 2001, is targeted to young adventurous professionals in 2040.

Its pretty obvious, (thanks Captain Oblivious) what the core concept of this vehicle is just by name. Technology and organics are bound to merge sooner or later. Imagine driving just by thinking. When you sit in the drivers seat, your though patterns are sent to the vehicle, thus becoming an extension of your body. Theres no need for analog controls.
Mercedes Supercar C.S.V Concept
Mercedes F400 concept has served as the inspiration when creating this concept car of the future. It foreshadows a fully integrated driver interface, providing “driving…by thinking”.

The interesting part about this Mercedes Benz concept is that it has no steering wheel, no pedals, but this vehicle can be controlled with the power of mind instead. It uses a system named Brain Computer Interface (BCI), which creates a connection between the car and its driver, through a specially-designed helmet.

This way, the driver’s brain impulses are gathered by the helmet and transferred to the car, which responds appropriately. Although this principle may sound plausible in the future, its implementation on cars, could prove to be quite a difficult task.

The implications for such technologies means someday well know how to interpret, map out, and respond to human neural patterns. If you can put that thought aside for a second, lets focus on the design.

Theres a lot of F400 in there but the designer wanted to give the vehicle an organic flavor, hence the muscle fibers flanking each side, neatly tucking into a hidden skeletal system. The result is a design that takes Mercedes Benz DNA and evolves it into an organic object mimicking its pilot.

A glamorous white Mercedes G 55 AMG for the sheikhs


Diodes in the front (yes even in the form of horseshoes), and rear, front bumper with huge air intakes, slits in the faceted hood, four kruglyasha head optics, fog lamps, six, and just enough outlet - Mercedes G with such a dodger is the best meets the needs of the target audience. Beautiful or ugly? Main - noticeably.


And very quickly. SUV A.R.T. G Streetline manages to dial 260 km / h, whereas the G 55 AMG - only 210. The secret to optimize the "compressor" engine V8 5.4 (507 hp, 700 N • m). New soft, improved exhaust manifolds and cooling system helped to bring benefits to 601 "horses" and 800 newton-meters. At the very time for loosening the sand: its in the Arabian Peninsula in abundance.
Glamourous Gelandewagen staffed hard shortened springs, and in arches shine monoART1 wheels with tires Pirelli Scorpio Asimmetrico dimension 305/35 R22.
But Salon is uniquely good. Four fully electrified separate seats with heating and ventilation are covered in red leather, as well as door panels from a central console. Mini-bar in the kit.

Mercedes-Benz BlitzenBenz Concept Car Production year theoretical 2025

Mercedes-Benz BlitzenBenz concept car

Mercedes-Benz BlitzenBenz concept car Production year theoretical 2025. Brilliant and outstanding is what every car lover will exclaim when will see this BlitzenBenz concept car. The Mercedes-Benz BlitzenBenz concept was created by George Yoo, a designer at Mercedes-Benz Research and Development in Carlsbad, California. The BlitzenBenz was developed during his final year at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.

Created by George Yoo as a futuristic racing vehicle, BlitzenBenz concept is derived from two different sources. And let me tell you the roots of its design are in the past. The main inspiration behind the idea is from original Blitzen-Benz from 1909 that had a long tubular shape and rear cab positioning. On the other, Alex Erlandson work of creating sculptures from trees that were grown into certain shapes/patterns influenced Yoo considerably to contemplate what if automotive parts were to be grown and tamed to hold certain shapes.

Obviously the technology is not quite there yet to create such a vehicle, but the current research into nanotechnology is paving the way for intelligent and adaptable components which can be grown instead of manufactured. It's an incredibly interesting prospect which would completely alter the way cars are built, maintained, upgraded and recycled.

The exterior design is a base for the organic structure and the individual wheel pods are there to sense as to when the inside electric motors need to be cooled down. When the cooling will be required, these structures will open up in the same way as the plants do to receive the vital sunlight.

To run this Mercedes-Benz BlitzenBenz, there is an advanced next-generation Hygenius hybrid hydrogen engine and four in-wheel electric motors. The inspiration for the blue lightening system came from bioluminescent capabilities of deep sea creatures. Also, a hydrogen storage tank is just below the cockpit and the fuel level is shown in a small window.

Though, woefully, there is no technology to make this vehicle as such, but the progressing research into nanotechnology will surely open the way for components that can be grown than manufactured, changing the way cars will be built or maintained in future.

Brabus GLK - the fastest SUV in the world


When the light appeared Mercedes GLK, no one doubted that sooner or later, this car will draw attention to tuning-studio Brabus. How could it be otherwise, Brabus «is pumping" virtually the entire range of Mercedes? However, what is done with the machine craftsmen from the town of Bottrop, did not expect, it seems, nobody.
As you know, the fastest SUV in the world until recently was a Brabus ML63 Biturbo. The car could accelerate to 310 km / h, thus becoming the "king of speed" among mass-produced sport utility vehicles. Even popular in Russia in a certain category of citizens Gemballa GT750 Aero 3 is not able to withstand the pressure of brabusovskogo monster, stumbling on a mark in the 306 km / h. It would seem, to overthrow 63 Biturbo Brabus ML from the throne in the near future by anyone.



But the trouble came from there, where nobody was waiting. At the time, until Brabus ML 63 Biturbo suit their record "races" and otherwise humiliated by rivals in the model range Mercedes appeared beginner - a compact SUV GLK. It is such a harmless teenager, four and a half feet from nose to tail, and all sort of awkwardly-square-faceted. Such a fit mud puddle, as his famous grandfather "Gelendvagenu" and not to rush to racetracks. But everything happened exactly the opposite.


Well, who could imagine that in the hood space that nedomerka Brabus engineers will be able to stuff his famous 6.3-liter, twelve-bi-turbo engine of 750 hp and torque of a shock in 1350 "Newton"? And it packed! In order five-step "automatic" is not shattered into pieces, trying to digest all these newton-meters, the box has been reinforced, and torque limited at 1100 N • m Of course, remaking the same cooling system and subjected to the exhaust system.
Machine for Brabus traditionally painted a black color, under the thresholds established LED backlight and deprived of all unmarked Mercedes and even a name. And instead given a new - Brabus GLK V12. In addition, the car got a new bumper, grille, hood, dodger, spoiler and got the original 22-inch Brabus Monoblock wheels and low-profile tires Pirelli dimension 285/25 R22. Beauty is trimmed with leather with carbon inserts, installed a new speedometer scale up to 330 km / h, and the thresholds decorated plates of stainless steel with neon lights. Then Brabus GLK V12 went to Italy at the famous track Nardo, where he was able to overclock to 322.3 km / h. First hundred machine wins for 4,2 s and the second with a 12.8. But the main thing - it is the title of king of speed.

Go is to say that to stand in line for the Brabus GLK V12 mere mortals do not make sense, because the price of the machine is 397 000 euros ($ 580 000). And it is in Germany. Of course, Brabus GLK V12 can be bought in Russia, but, in view of customs clearance and dealer markups, the price will generally beyond the clouds. However, rich people like "stuff" are unlikely to care about.
