Interestingly, the show car appears like an exaggerated version of the Mercedes-AMG Vision AMG Concept. However, that one had a lot of curves, and this car comes with a more bulky passenger compartment. This car could be portrayed as a future performance coupe, as the look suggests. It would ride on the AMG.EA vehicle architecture and use axial flux electric motors for propulsion.

Interestingly, automakers around the world have been increasingly using advanced new-age technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality. The new virtual show car from Mercedes-Benz comes as part of that.

The automaker has a history of working with Riot Games, which is an integral part of the online gaming event, where this car is expected to be showcased in complete form. However, it is not clear yet how the Mercedes show car would be incorporated into the game.
