2024 Mercedes AMG GT Concept E Performance

After the presentation of the CLA concept and the announcement of a smaller version of the G-Class, Mercedes presented another car, but this time it is a powerful sports plug-in hybrid, the Mercedes AMG GT Concept E Performance.

The AMG GT Concept E Performance is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 twin-tube engine combined with an electric motor, with a total power of more than 800 hp (588 kW), which is more than the AMG GT Black Series (720 hp). Specifications have not been released, but it should be noted that the GT63 S four-door coupe E Performance with 831 hp (611 kW) and the S63 E Performance with 791 hp (582 kW) have a similar powertrain. It sits on 21″ wheels wrapped in 295/30 ZR 21 Michelin Pilot Sport S tires.

The car attracted the attention of all visitors, and at first glance one cannot notice a big difference compared to the Mercedes-AMG GT. A combination of black and red adorns the exterior of this racer that comes with an optional rear wing and carbon-ceramic brakes with gold brake calipers. The charging port is located on the rear bumper.

2023 Mercedes Vision One-Eleven

In 1969, Mercedes presented the experimental car C 111, with a fiberglass body shell and a mid-mounted three-rotor direct fuel injected Wankel engine. Only 16 examples were produced, and three months ago the German car manufacturer unveiled a car that resembles this model, the Mercedes Vision One-Eleven. The car is currently exhibited at the IAA Mobility, Munich.

Mercedes has always been ahead of its time when it comes to design, and that’s the case with this retro-style car, with its sleek body and gullwing doors. The new front pixelated mask with LEDs that mimic the C111’s fog lights, massive front spoiler, massive side skirts, massive rear diffuser and massive wheels, leave a powerful impression at first sight.

The interior is done in a combination of recycled polyester and orange leather with a few chrome accessories. It reflects a paradigm shift from a sports car to an autonomous electric vehicle in the super sports car segment and unites two completely different states of existence. It is equipped with two low-slung seats, a dashboard with a full-width LED pixel display and a small touch screen connected to the steering column. There is also an augmented-reality headset that turns the entire interior into the user interface, with 3D controls, icons, and maps for navigation.

The Mercedes Vision One-Eleven is powered by four YASA electric motors with a total power of around 2,000 hp (1,471 kW). It is equipped with a new battery with high performance cylindrical cells with liquid cooling.

2024 Cupra DarkRebel

Cupra has unveiled its new car that is entirely created in virtual space, for the future generation of drivers, the Cupra DarkRebel. This all-electric two-seater pushes the boundaries of design and performance, and is the company’s most powerful car.

Almost 300k configurations of members of the Cupra tribe were used in the creation of its futuristic design. This is a new approach in car design and a way for the company to connect as much as possible with new potential customers. The car has outstanding technology that inspires passion and demonstrates the rebellious mindset of the Cupra brand. It has more than 450 hp (331 kW) which is enough to push it to 62 mph (100 km/h) in less than 4 seconds.

“The CUPRA DarkRebel condenses all of the brand’s DNA and values. With wider shoulders, a long bonnet and lower cabin focused on the driver. It stands for people who love to drive and not be driven. The CUPRA Dark Rebel is designed to enter a new dimension where desire, emotion and pushing without limits are our obsession,” said Cupra design director Jorge Diez.

Sharp lines and a triangular lighting concept, which are then applied as DRLs (Daytime Running Lights), adorn the front of the DarkRebel. The side shows the connection of the body with the front and back through channels that reveal all the technical elements, as a symbol of the relationship between exterior and interior. The interior allows the driver to experience the incredible performance of the Cupra DarkRebel on the road.
