The Tech Playground: Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven Concept | Mercedes-Benz of Danbury

At Mercedes-Benz of Danbury, we’re always excited to bring you the latest innovations from Stuttgart. But the Vision One-Eleven Concept? It’s something else entirely. Imagine a car that looks like it could slip through a wormhole just as easily as it cruises Connecticut’s highways. This concept vehicle walks the line between time machine and spaceship, all while paying tribute to the Mercedes-Benz C 111 of the 60s and 70s.

A Futuristic Throwback

The Vision One-Eleven is more than a nod to the C 111’s legendary gullwing doors and striking copper-infused orange paintwork. It’s a complete reimagination — a concept vehicle engineered to push the boundaries of electric performance driving. Under the hood (if you can even call it that), an ultra-compact axial-flux motor from YASA packs incredible power into a sleek, minimalistic package. And thanks to advanced battery technology, the Vision One-Eleven is designed to deliver performance that feels futuristic.

Built for the Future. Inspired by the Past.

Step inside, and you’re immediately met with an interior that feels as cutting-edge as the powertrain. Sculpted seats, built flush-fit into the floor, dazzle with sustainably processed white-and-silver leather stitched in a diamond-quilted pattern. And while the gullwing doors are a classic Mercedes-Benz flex, the interior itself is nothing short of a tech playground.

Two driving modes — Lounge and Race — allow you to choose your own experience. Lounge Mode? Think relaxed, spacious seating perfect for a hands-off, autonomous future. Race Mode? Low and tight, channeling the essence of Formula 1 inspiration.

The dash stretches across the cabin with a display that looks like something out of a retro-tech fever dream. It mixes 8-bit art with crystal-clear digital resolution, serving as both nostalgic tribute and cutting-edge interface.

Science Fiction Meets Reality

Here’s where things get wild. The Vision One-Eleven integrates Magic Leap 2 augmented reality technology, turning the cabin into a digital playground. Slip on the headset, and the entire car becomes an immersive interface — the kind of thing that sounds like pure sci-fi until you experience it firsthand.

Mercedes-Benz didn’t stop at designing a concept car. They extended the aesthetic into an ultra-limited lifestyle collection called LIMITED EDITION 1 OF 111. With just 111 items available, the lineup includes everything from weekender bags to iPhone 14 Pro cases, all dripping with that same copper-orange brilliance.

The Future Has Arrived

The Mercedes-Benz Vision One-Eleven made its debut at the Mercedes-Benz International Design Center in Carlsbad, California, but its influence stretches far beyond. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Danbury, we’re excited to see how this revolutionary concept will impact the future of driving — from performance and design to the overall driving experience.

Whether it’s futuristic technology, retro design elements, or just the sheer thrill of something so innovative, the Vision One-Eleven is proof that Mercedes-Benz continues to rewrite the rules. Visit Mercedes-Benz of Danbury today to start your journey into the future.
