Mercedes-Benz has a new vision for the electric car, and involves fragrance flasks and 3D LED light arrays. 

The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQS, a new concept car unveiled on Tuesday at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, is the company's idea of what a luxury electric sedan should look like. And though it's just a concept, meaning it will never be available for purchase in its current form, the company has gone quite far with the touches of luxury, sometimes to the point of silliness. 

First, the technical details. The Vision EQS has more than 350 kW (469 hp) of output power and a fully variable all-wheel drive. It goes from 0-100km/h in less than 4.5 seconds, has a top speed of over 200 km/h, and comes with a 100 kWh battery that provides a whopping 700 km (435 miles) of range and charges at 350 kW. In short, while it's not faster than a Tesla Model S, it has a bigger battery, more range, and charges faster — though these numbers would be far more meaningful if we were talking about an actual production vehicle.  Read more...
