Vision Simplex by Mercedes

Vision Simplex concept pays tribute to technically the first-ever Mercedes...

This is the Vision Mercedes Simplex concept, and it will never be put into production. The Simplex pays homage to the first ever car to wear the Mercedes name – the Mercedes 35 HP (or 35 PS in German) from 1901. The 35 was developed at the request of wealthy businessman and occasional racer Emil Jellinek, and was the first car to move away from the traditional high-riding motorised carriage design.
