"The outside of the Vision Iconic is covered in a black solar paint, which Mercedes-Benz claims can be applied to the body like a wafer-thin paste. In ideal conditions, a mid-size SUV with an area of 118 square feet covered with the innovative solar coating could produce energy for a driving range of up to 7,450 miles per year, according to Mercedes-Benz. The integrated cells have a 20% efficiency, which is on par with most consumer-grade solar panels on sale today."
"Its long hood harks back to the long-nosed pre-war grand tourers, while the large illuminated grille at the front is a reinterpretation of legendary upright grilles of cars like the W108, W111 and the 600 Pullman. The three-pointed standing star on the hood is also illuminated. Photo by: Mercedes-Benz The rear draws inspiration from the world's first supercar, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. It's simple, it's menacing and it's stunning."
