To be honest, I saw a photo of this car’s inspiration before the vehicle itself and assumed it would be completely ridiculous… after all, who designs a Mercedes after a fish (a trout no less)?? But upon seeing the actual car, I had a complete change of heart! Though its inspiration is unexpectedly organic, the SLK Aphelios exhibits futuristic styling and a touch of fluid elegance that’s … well… very Mercedes-like!
Designer: Apostol Tnokovski
it’s like a concept from 70s..i like the rear, but the front…
Nice design, but such low ground clearance and probably rock hard suspension would render it useless on the poor quality city streets I encounter on a daily basis. Looks great though.
I am immediately reminded of the Audi Avus Quattro Concept of 1991 and the IAD Alien Concept from 1986.
Very nice, real slick… My first choice of a car, if I can afford it!
Love the design. They should do a proto and show it at Frankfurt….and we don’t need the fish to get it.
Just like it,it’s so great
That was my first thought as well. I was hoping this was a design from the 90s that was archived. I honestly think this design is very dated and not very appealing.
