Mercedes-Benz has unveiled its last collaboration with the late fashion icon, Virgil Abloh ? Project Maybach. It is a solar-powered electric car with zero emissions.

The unveiling of the car was given the blessing of Abloh’s family and was described as being an extraordinary design to come out of Mercedes-Benz. The car was revealed at Art Basel Miami. This vehicle is actually Abloh’s second collaboration with Mercedes following the G-Wagen race car. It is said that every element of the car has been built from scratch.

The car was initially announced in October, but it was unlikely to ever go into production. It was designed by Abloh alongside Mercedes chief design officer, Gorden Wagener.
Project Maybach is nearly six metres long, most of that length coming from its transparent front bonnet with solar cells underneath it to charge the car’s batteries. The sloped and transparent roofline merges seamlessly into the rear end evoking the look of a spaceship. It is a two-seater and is designed for off-road adventuring.

The interior of the car is almost entirely in tan leather, matching the exterior. The vibe of the automobile is minimalistic, but it still found room for a cinematic infotainment screen tucked in the centre of the dashboard.
