The Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR is a drivable concept car that looks like science fiction brought to life.
Executing this concept car from scratch meant aligning with the film’s visual style while maintaining Mercedes-Benz’s 122-year-old brand identity.
The Vision AVTR’s series of rear flaps move in all directions and were imagined to be multipurpose.

The interior resembles a futuristic lounge, and the seating position is so laidback that it’s disconcerting.
Mercedes-Benz collaborated with 20th Century Studios to link the new film “Avatar: The Way of Water” with the future of mobility.
The Mercedes-Benz AVTR concept, which required around 50 (and at times, up to 200) engineers, designers and craftspeople to build, offers a rare vehicular representation of the ultra-successful “Avatar” film franchise.
Between the two passengers, a control module rises from the center console and feels somewhat like a rubberized ziggurat.
There’s an extremely disconcerting feeling to piloting the AVTR because it feels completely alien to how any other four-wheeled vehicle operates.
