2011 Mercedes-Benz Vision EQ Silver Arrow
.............................
After wowing attendees of the Pebble Beach weekend last year with the neo-art-deco Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 cabriolet concept, Mercedes is topping itself this year at the same venue with the EQ Silver Arrow concept. According to design chief Gorden Wagener, the concept, "intended for acceleration and driving pleasure," is a glimpse into the future of Mercedes design.

The stylists found inspiration for the EQ Silver Arrow in the W125 Rekordwagen of 1937. Based on a Grand Prix race car, the W125 got an all-new body for the explicit purpose of going extremely fast. It worked. With Rudolf Caracciola at the helm, the V-12–powered streamliner set a public-road top-speed record on the A5 autobahn between Frankfurt and Darmstadt, averaging 269 mph—a record that stood until 2017, when it was broken by the Koenigsegg Agera RS.

The Rekordwagen's influence radiates from the EQ Silver Arrow. At more than 17 feet from nose to tail, it's longer than a Mercedes S-class, and its proportions are similar to those of the Depression-era record setter, with a short front overhang, a long hood, and a tapered, pointy tail. The low-slung body is made entirely from carbon fiber, and multiple layers of Alubeam Silver paint hark back to the old Silver Arrow race cars, which wore naked aluminum bodies because paint was deemed to add unnecessary weight. There is almost no extraneous detailing or surfacing on the body, a refreshing sight given how extreme the designs of even mainstream production cars have gotten in recent years.

Thin LED headlights and a digital grille-shaped panel lend the concept an aggressive look from the front, and a chunky side skirt boasts a light-up EQ badge and additional LED strips. The hump behind the driver's head flows into a large tailfin that's similar to the one on the Mercedes-AMG Project One hypercar, which sits above a large diffuser and two massive extendable spoilers that act as air brakes.

One of the concept's most striking elements is the way the smooth wheel arches push far out from the body, almost giving the car the look of an open-wheel racer. Wilder still, the arches are cut off at the centerline of each wheel, leaving the rest of the wheel and tire open to the elements. There also are fixed hubcaps fitted over the front half of the wheels that line up with the end of the wheel arches and show off the 255/25R-24 front and 305/25R-26 rear tires, which were designed by Pirelli with a star pattern on the tread. Those half-pie covers also tease onlookers by leaving only 84 of each of the massive wheels' 168 spokes (painted a rose gold color) visible at any given moment.

Unlike the W125s, which were powered by supercharged inline-eight engines, the Silver Arrow concept is completely electric—hence the EQ part of the name, which denotes Mercedes-Benz's new electric-vehicle sub-brand. Mercedes has not said what kind of motors the concept uses, or how many it uses, but claims the car has a peak output of 738 horsepower. A thin 80.0-kWh battery mounted in the floor enables a range just short of 250 miles on the new European cycle, and Mercedes hinted that wireless inductive battery charging is possible. That battery is cooled by the three slats aft of the front wheels styled in a way that reminds us of the cooling vents on vintage Silver Arrows' engine covers.
