The 2057 Mercedes-Benz SilverFlow

Mercedes-SilverFlow.jpg

The 2057 Mercedes-Benz SilverFlow is the company's entry into the annual LA Auto Show Design Challenge, which this year carries the theme of "Robocar 2057." It's styled after the sleek Grand Prix racers Mercedes-Benz used to build, although by looking at it — while it's certainly retro — the SilverFlow definitely doesn't look aged.

The minds behind the SilverFlow are obviously fed healthy doses of science fiction and we love them for it. The car is composed of micro-metallic particles that are assembled into various patterns by magnetic fields, activated by a key fob (or a charm for your key ring). Any color combo, configuration or size is possible depending on the programming built into the fob, and damage is repaired in a jiffy, too.
