New Mercedes Trucks

[fraser8]

New Mercedes Truck design, is there a new shaped coach in the works ?

Man that's ugly!

Notice how the wipers form the Mercedes emblem

Yeah, Looks like something that should be circling the Earth out of gravity.

Those have been around for years and you'll find photos of them and their brothers all over the 'net - Google 'futuristic truck' or similar, and you'll find all sorts of references to them. They are concepts produced by an independent Swiss designer called Luigi Colani - they're certainly not Mercedes products as such, but it could be that Colani has done work for Mercedes, or simply that the bodywork has been built onto existing Mercedes trucks

Different for sure, but I recall............................

The Highwayman truck 'prop' was for sale a few years ago. A friend looked into purchasing it, but it needed a TON of work. As it was, it was barely driveable. Wires hanging, stuff detached in the 'cab'. 

But, it looked like it was supposed to from outside...( notice I didn't say it looked good..?)

Looks like something that you may see at one of those "future" exhibits at DISNEYLAND 40 years ago.

TomorrowLand!

No, this is what Tomorrowland trucks look like (Tomorrowland (or Tomorrorroland, as the children called it) being the destination at the end of Mad Max 3):
