You"ll have already spotted this year"s Pebble Beach car-luxe-festival has lit the touchpaper on a series of all-electric super-concepts from Audi and Infiniti, among others. Unbowed, Mercedes has been busy with its own entry. The EQ Silver Arrow plunders real heritage (not Infiniti"s wish-we-were-there wistfulness) and applies an electrified spin to the record-breaking Benz single-seaters of the Thirties. Imagine, if you will, this design study as a fantasy future for Formula E. Oof. Yes please. Now dismiss that mouth-watering notion. Sorry. This is merely the design department getting demob-happy over the summer holidays, but it does include some design traits we"ll see in the upcoming Tesla-fighting EQ electric offshoot, imminent from the Mercedes mothership.
