Mercedes sends Pandora car for Avatar

 

Although the design is the accent, the real treasure lies in the new technology used to make the battery that drives this creation.

 

 

The prototype presented at the Las Vegas Electronics Show is intended to "spark the imagination" of the future appearance of the car. Vision AVTR pays special attention to the connection between man, machine and nature, just like the symbiotic cohabitation of the Pandora Na'vi people.

And if design is the first thing that catches your eye, then the real treasure in this car is its battery. The powerful 110 kWh battery is based on graphene organic cell chemistry, free of rare, toxic and expensive fossil metals. That means the battery is 100% recyclable, Daimler claims. It is also noted that this technology has a high energy density of 1200 Wh / liter, offering "exceptional fast charging capability". According to the press release, the battery can be fully charged in less than 15 minutes. The company claims to be able to offer a range of up to 700 km. Otherwise, the prototype is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 470 hp.

In addition, the technology offers developers some flexibility in terms of installation space. This allows for a more free design of the interior of the car, which until now has been designed mainly according to the battery body.

 

Everything in the Vision AVTR is different from what we traditionally expect to see in a single car. For example, the interior lacks any traditional controls. The "driver" only has to place his hand on the illuminated controller on the center console, which measures various biometric data, including the heart rate. The rest of the interior "floats" around the passengers.

The seats are upholstered in vegan leather Dinamica, which is made from recycled materials from old clothes and plastic bottles. Much of the floor is decorated with rattan's innovative Karuun wood, a material that abounds in the warm and humid areas of the planet.

The rear of the car features 33 multifunction valves that move in sync, mimicking the breathing and movements of Pandora's organisms.
