What Top Secret Prototype Is Mercedes-Benz Hiding Under This Cloak?

Despite being almost completely under wraps, we felt it our duty to share these images of a very bizarre Mercedes concept taken by our spy photographer. A couple of clues point to this being some sort of EV. Exaggerated fenders housing very skinny tires is one indication, another is the long, sleek shape and cab-forward design that has doubtless been aerodynamically optimized. The shot of the door shows the concept is finished in Mercedes silver, while a lack of door handles is another sign it has been sculpted to be as slippery as possible.

Agreed it looks like an electric car because of the shape, but not because of the fenders or the wheels.

The exaggerated fenders could be part of the camouflage to allow the safe operation of a four wheel steering system or electronic monitoring on each individual wheel.

The narrow tires could be used simply because that is all that is needed to allow the car to drive under its own power.
