Mercedes recently unveiled the Vision One-Eleven concept model, which many believe will not enter production, at least not anytime soon. It is a reminder of Mercedes’ experimental prototype C111, which the German company made half a century ago in 16 copies for the purposes of testing various engine technologies and technical solutions.

Experimental C111 prototypes were powered by a variety of mid-mounted gasoline and diesel engines, including a Wankel engine. The most powerful version was powered by a 4.8-liter V8 turbo gasoline engine with 500 hp (373 kW), and at the Nardò Ring in 1979, the car achieved a speed of 403.78 km/h (250.958 mph) and a lap time of 1 minute and 56.67 seconds.
Two decades later, at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes unveiled a production sports car, the C112. However, despite a large number of interested parties, the company abandoned the project.
For now, there is not enough information about this car, but it is known that the two-seater will be powered by four YASA electric motors with a total power of about 2,000 hp (1,471 kW).
