Mercedes has officially teased a new idea vehicle days after a tip off from the firm’s style manager Gordon Wagener, who hinted that we’d see a new style idea “pretty soon”.
The teaser video released by Mercedes hints at the styling of the new idea inside as well as out. We can make out a long bonnet as well as an similarly long rear deck, with a red pinstripe running down the centre. An intricate set of multi-spoke wheels are likewise showcased, together with a great look in the car’s cabin.

• Pebble beach as well as Monterey vehicle Week
The interior, plus the promise of the vehicle being the ‘next Vision’, hints that this might be a convertible version of the Vision Maybach 6 Concept revealed almost a year back at the 2016 Paris motor Show.
Last week, a few of Merc’s top designers promise that the new style research study will be a “big surprise” as well as an “icon” when it arrives.
No specific details regarding the vehicle have been revealed, however Wagener touted that we’ll see it this summer, hinting that it might show up at the Pebble beach Concours d’Elegance which is arranged to take location later this month.
Several sketches are shown in the Instagram video teaser, however these are of past Mercedes idea cars, namely the Vision Maybach 6 idea as well as the IAA idea from the Frankfurt motor show in 2015.
The action in Monterey kicks off on 20 August, as well as if Mercedes brings along a fresh idea car, it will line up with arranged exposes from BMW as well as Aston Martin.
BMW is poised to expose a idea previewing the next-generation Z4, which has already been teased in sketch form. Meanwhile, Aston Martin might unveil a new Vanquish Zagato, which has been identified in Speedster form. Last year, the firm revealed the special Vanquish Zagato Volante, which is restricted to just 99 examples.
