Subject: Mercedes Vision EQ Silver Arrow Is A Stunning 750-HP Electric Speedster Sun Aug 26, 2018 10:53 pm
The sleek shape is a homage to Mercedes’ record-breaking Grand Prix racer from the 1930s. While this year’s Pebble Beach has been dominated by major supercar reveals such as the Bugatti Divo and Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, Infiniti’s striking Prototype 10 speedster concept was a standout show car. Not to be outdone, Mercedes has unveiled the retro-inspired Silver Arrow Concept, and it’s an absolute stunner. The aerodynamic design is a homage to the record-breaking Mercedes W125 Grand Prix racer driven by Rudolf Caracciola, who achieved a flying mile average speed of 268.7mph on the A5 autobahn between Frankfurt and Darmstadt in 1937 – a public road record that wasn't beaten until November 2017.
