Simplex Vision

Vision Mercedes Simplex was developed in-house as a tribute to the original 1902 Simplex vehicles. Created in 2019, the concept honors the 1901 Mercedes 35 PS while reinterpreting it for a new era of vehicle design. Although multiple design variations informed the direction, only the final proposal can be disclosed. The project was widely recognized for its retro-modern aesthetic, seamlessly blending heritage with forward-looking technology; modernizing early 20th-century design through an electric drivetrain, a digital “black panel” grille, and a refined minimalist approach to luxury.
