The Mercedes Benz Cyborg Sensation Vehicle, or C.S.V., is a concept car imagined by Chinese designer Derek Chik Kin Ng. The C.S.V. is an off-road capable, two-seater supercar, inspired from the Mercedes F400 concept, designed back in 2001.
The interesting part about this Mercedes Benz concept is that it has no steering wheel, no pedals, but this vehicle can be controlled with the power of mind instead. It uses a system named Brain Computer Interface (BCI), which creates a connection between the car and its driver, through a specially-designed helmet.
This way, the driver’s brain impulses are gathered by the helmet and transferred to the car, which responds appropriately. Although this principle may sound plausible in the future, its implementation on cars, could prove to be quite a difficult task.

In case you’re the nostalgic type, who misses the beginning of the automotive design days, we have a treat for you: the Mercedes Blitzen-Benz design, created by George Yoo. This concept car is inspired by the original Blitzen-Benz model, dating back from 1909, but it brings a modern twist in the mix: a Hygenius hybrid hydrogen engine.
The above-mentioned engine will power four in-wheel electric motors and in case you didn’t know this is a sports car we’re talking about. There’s also a hydrogen storage tank on the side of the vehicle, under the cockpit and a small window that allows the driver to see the level of his fuel.
BlitzenBenz’s exterior case uses intelligent components, that are also adaptable and can be grown, not manufactured (nanotechnology for the win). They provide an organic body structure for the Mercedes concept car and keep the wheel pods intact. The latter car parts will open like flower buds, in order to cool the electric motors inside and there’s also a lighting system (in blue) on board, fuelled by bioluminescent sea creatures.

Fancy a car made out of liquid metal? How about a Mercedes Benz branded one? Revealed at the LA Auto Show Design Challenge a while back, the Mercedes Benz Silverflow is a real mystery if you’re trying to guess what’s on the hood. What’s important is its metal body, a shapeshifting one.
That’s right, as its designers said, there’s going to be a “flood” of cheap carbon fibre in the 2020s so the alternative must be… new metal. No, not the music, the liquid metal you saw back in Terminator 2. So, we’ll be able to choose the shape of our car, as we ride. How cool is that?
