00:00Have you ever wondered what the very first car looked like?
00:03Let's take a ride through time.
00:05From the clunky contraption of the 1880s to a stunning vision of 2027.
00:10All through the eyes of one pioneering brand, Mercedes-Benz, it's going to be an epic journey.
00:17Our story begins in 1886.
00:20Forget sleek designs and roaring engines.
00:23Carl Benz created the Benz.
00:25Patent motor wagon.
00:27It had just three wheels, a tiny one-cylinder engine, and topped out at a heart-pounding 10 miles per
00:33hour.
00:34It looked more like a horse-drawn carriage that had lost its horse.
00:38But this was at the birth of the automobile.
00:40It was revolutionary, changing how humanity would move forever.
00:45Jumping forward to the 1950s, the world had changed, and so had cars.
00:51Enter the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing.
00:55This wasn't just a car, it was a statement.
00:58With its iconic upward opening doors and a top speed of over 160 miles per hour, it was one of
01:04the fastest production cars of its time.
01:07The Gullwing blended breathtaking performance with luxury.
01:10Setting a new standard for sports cars and becoming an instant classic that's still admired today.
01:16Now, let's fast forward through decades of innovation.
01:20We saw the rise of safety features like airbags and ABS, more powerful and efficient engines, and interiors that became
01:28more and more luxurious.
01:30Mercedes-Benz was often at the forefront, pushing the boundaries of what a car could be.
01:35From the dependable sedans of the 80s to the tech-filled SUVs of the 2000s, the evolution was constant.
01:43So, what does the future hold?
01:45Let's leap to 2027 and look at concepts like the Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR.
01:51Inspired by the movie Avatar, this car is less of a machine and more of a living organism.
01:57It has no steering wheel.
01:59You control it with your mind and gestures through a biometric connection.
02:03The wheels can move sideways, allowing it to move like a crab.
02:07It's fully electric, made from sustainable materials and designed to merge the driver, the vehicle, and the environment into one.
02:14From a three-wheeled cart to a mind-controlled marvel, the journey of the car is incredible.
02:21What started as a simple idea has evolved into a symbol of freedom, technology, and art.
02:28What do you think cars will look like in another hundred years?
