Most concept cars aren’t designed to be driven, but the Mercedes-Benz Vision EQS is one exception. It’s touted as an all-electric S-Class of the future and powered by a pair of electric motors for the front and rear axles, with a battery integrated directly into the floor between them. All of this is good for 469-horsepower and an impressive range of 435 miles when fully charged. Best of all, it boasts 350 kW charging capability that can power the vehicle up to 80 percent in under 20 minutes.

HYMER’s VisionVenture, based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, wants to change the notion that adventure vehicles look drab or plain by adding some futuristic style to them. Aside from the sleek matte paint, it comes equipped with a pop-up solar roof that could easily house a family of four or if you want something more luxurious, configure it for just two people.
Based on the Mercedes-Benz Vito, the Klassen V-Class stretches the van into a private jet on wheels, or so we’d like to think. Each one is built to order and can be equipped with large flat-screen displays, video game consoles (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, etc.), automatic folding tables, champagne flutes, a biometric safe, as well as a complete multimedia system.

The 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S is a superb car straight from the factory, mainly thanks to its beefy 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V-8 engine that generates 503 horsepower and 479 pound-foot of torque. Tuning house Creative Bespoke decided that just wasn’t enough, so they boosted the power output to a very impressive 656 horsepower, while adding plenty of exterior flair that will snap necks on the street and track.
