Since this Luxury Coupe design study was envisioned
for the next decade, it's not completely absurd to envision a self-driving
Maybach. The designer behind this so-called Mercedes-Maybach ECHO concept, is
Hawan Park, who managed to sketch a car that looks both futuristic as well as
expensive, while also explaining how the vehicle's wooden core helps disperse
sound.
Wood is of course the material of choice for the
interior of concert halls, featuring unique mechanical and acoustical
properties, which is why it's also used to make musical instruments.
There are a few other features worth mentioning
regarding this concept, such as its hologram projector positioned just in front
of the cockpit, the gull-wing doors, but also the flexible seat suspension.In
terms of design, the car certainly looks like it belongs in a sci-fi flick, and
the fact that you're sitting so far away from the front adds a dynamic touch.
While this render represents a concept, we'd love to
see it morph into more of a production model, even if it would only be a
digital one.
