World's Coolest Concept Car - Mercedes AVTR

 World's Coolest Concept Car - Mercedes AVTR

this is the Mercedes vision abtr I'm not gonna lie I'm super excited i

mean this is the kind of car that when you get the call your eyebrows go

up Mercedes called me they were like you want to do a car review i

was like yeah sure they were like it's avtr I was like

you know it's one of those kinds of cars this thing is super special and if

you don't know what this is this thing is basically a clash of the titans

between the team over at avatar and Mercedes avtr basically stands for

avatar it also stands for advanced vehicle transformation first you'll see

that everything here is is completely like lit up it's glowing right but when

you charge it it also changes so when you charge it everything kind of goes inwards

this is super cool and at the same time it's also an indicator like a turn

signal so when you want to turn all you got to do is press the button

and there it is there's your indicator I thought I had

cool rims and then you see this thing my rims look like a little plastic

hubcap next to this so the inspiration for this is also from

the movie avatar it's from the seeds of the tree of souls and I'll be damned if

it doesn't look exactly like the seeds of the tree of souls I mean that is

literally, you'll also see that these

don't look like normal wheels they're actually spheres and each one of these

wheels can turn about 30 degrees and they can each drive separately so what

you get is you can drive in different unique ways this thing can literally

drive sideways it can drive diagonally obviously in the front what you have is the mercedes-benz logo getting closer

right what you'll see is that you have

all these little

individual

lights

that is super cool

I mean that that looks like the future

all right let's go around the side

you have the glass doors we'll

 open them

in just a second because first I want to show you the back

this is my favorite part of the car what you haveare 33 scales mercedes calls these

bionic flaps and what they do is they move look at that so now they've all turned

red when you break it turns red and they all move like this but then when you

accelerate they all press forward and turn blue

actually even when you're driving these

things will turn with you in different directions

and it makes such a satisfying sound that is super super cool right so again

this thing makes the car literally look like it's alive so when Mercedes

calls these bionic flaps obviously bio comes from the greek root word life and

A bionic is an artificial body part so these are literal artificial scales

which makes the car look like a creature right it makes it look like

something that is no longer just a vehicle down here

you have these subtle lights and the faster you go the faster these lights

will actually push you to have this awesome tail light going all throughout the

the entire back and obviously vision abtr vision avatar

all right time to go inside so no door handles or anything right well

there's a secret button a little fingerprint scanner see if i can get this right

and this is so cool you see how it literally looks like a

wing insect wings are like transparent that's kind of what it looks like it's

even got that kind of curved shape it's super cool super cool all right so

take a look at the inside no steering wheel no problem

i'll show you why in just a second but look at this thing look at the inside

this looks like a spaceship alright so let's go step by step first of all these

seats are vegan leather so what mercedes has done is they've combined luxury with

sustainability and even this part it's actually wood it comes from a

tree and some of you guys are thinking like well you cut down a tree for this

no actually the root can become invasive if it overgrows so what mercedes does is

they get a win-win situation by literally cutting and extracting this

wood carefully right before the wood

becomes invasive save some plant life and at the same

time you get a super cool little interior this is both the drivers and

the passenger seat because you can drive this car from here or from there it

doesn't make a difference because this is both the steering wheel and the brake

to accelerate it you push forward to turn the car turn it sideways and you

can crab walk it by literally spinning this entire thing we're driving in a

second all right what's also super cool is at the back seat

you see the rear seat that actually arches and becomes the headrest

so when i put my hand on here you see that the entire thing comes to life

that that's super cool that is super cool yeah you feel like you're in some sort

of like a fairy tale you don't even feel like you're on the road you hear that

little heartbeat so what this is doing is this is actually scanning my heartbeat and it

can actually tell through this scanner and this

projector who's driving the car so it'll actually adapt to you which

is completely crazy all right here it is let's drive it so first 

wow all right looks like  slowly turn it like this look at

that we're crab-walking now but it's it feels so strange to be able

to be crab walking right now so look so when I turn it left like this

we turn like that when I turn right

forward is accelerate

and backward is to break and you can

also, reverse
