A LUXURY car is now able be unlocked without even using keys thanks to a hi-tech new feature.
The motor has left fans shocked as hands are not even needed at all to open the doors.
Mercedes has unveiled their jaw-dropping new Mercedes-Benz Vision V, which has gained attention on social media.
One influencer shared the exciting new motor on TikTok with a tour of the Vision V.
The display of the car’s door lights up as she walks towards the vehicle, and reads: “Hi Tuesday Le Roux.”
Le Roux then says, “We’ve got face recognition. Let’s scan.”
A camera appears as it scans Le Roux’s face.
This enables the passengers doors of the Mercedes slide open and the front door swings out.
And illuminated side step also comes out making it easier for passengers to climb into the vehicle.
The interior of the Mercedes reveals fully white leather seats and an illuminating floor.
A 65-inch television screen is also able to emeberge from behind the front seats.
“We also have seven projectors all over the car creating a fully immersive experience, including projecting on the windows,” Le Roux adds.
Other features inside the Mercedes is a chessboard that folds out between the passenger seats which are zero gravity, have extendable leg rests, and can be fully reclined.
On the outside, the front grill can light up along with a “world’s first illuminated” Mercedes-Benz star on the bonnet.
And there is no glass at all along the front headlights, which actually contain crystal.
The rim of the wheels also illuminate.
On the roof are several solar panels, and the back light is illuminated with a ring all around the back of the car – this contains the indicators.
Commenting on the video posted by car and technology influencer Tuesday Le Roux, fans shared their shock by this new motor.
One wrote: “Mercedes Vision V is like my living room.”
Another added: “Is this one car or heaven?”
A third said: “There is only two cars in the world, Mercedes Benz and the other cars.”
The Mercedes-Benz Vision V is set to be a range of luxurious people carriers to launch in 2026.
It will come in a variety of different models, from ultra-luxurious “CEO transport” to seven-seater family cars.
A SMALL British carmaker behind a motor Jeremy Clarkson said could “destroy your face” is set to build a huge new factory in the UK.
Ariel – best known for its Atom motor – will build the new structure to the east of Crewkerne in Somerset on a recently acquired 43-acre site.
The carmakers gained the land after five years of negotiation, with the new building set to open before the end of 2028 at the cost of “a few million”, Ariel boss Simon Saunders said.
Simon said the cost of building a new factory had rapidly risen since the idea was first floated, meaning the firm may need to seek external funding.
Ariel currently sells two vehicles, the Atom and the Nomad, as well as the Dash bicycle, according to its website.
The Ariel Atom, tested on Top Gear in 2005, was described by Clarkson as “so quick, it can destroy your entire face“.
Since its launch in 2000, it has gone through a number of alterations, with the Ariel Atom 4 – released in 2018 – being the most recent version available to customers.
It was awarded Britain’s Best Driver’s Car by Autocar in 2020.
With building the new site, Simon said he wanted to “move to no ordinary industrial unit”, keeping in style with the unique designs of Atom’s motors.
He explained: “While we’ve been waiting to do the land deal, we’ve investigated quite a few styles – circular buildings that might work well for production efficiency, or others whose design is reminiscent of old farm buildings you already find in this area.
“We need space for what we do now, plus a museum, a showroom and a design office. And it’s got to be efficient.”
The new site will be placed close to Atom’s existing factory, meaning Ariel will be able to keep its pre-existing workforce while also adding around 60 new staff.
It also means production capacity should be able to almost double from just 80 units per year to around 150, reports Autocar.
The huge new complex will house Ariel’s expanded manufacturing operation as well as a showroom, a spacious service and spares operation, long-term parts storage, a museum, and an office space for design and administration.
Ariel is also putting an emphasis on environmental efficiency for its new vehicles, Simon said.
The new factory will be capable of carbon capture, its roof will gather solar energy, water will come from a borehole, and there are plans to plant 8000 trees on the site.
Ariel started out in a tiny studio in Simon’s home before moving to its current site in 2007.
However, since Ariel handles advanced design as well as spares, servicing, repairs and used car sales on top of manufacturing, it has been constrained on space for years.
This comes after a 2020 Ariel Atom went to auction last year.
Describing a previous version of the car in 2005, Clarkson said he had “never, ever driven anything that accelerates so fast,” describing the Atom as being “fast on an entirely new level”.
The motor started life as a student project at Coventry University before it was originally launched in 2000.
Other iconic versions include the Ariel Atom 500, which is one of the fastest accelerating production cars ever made – taking just 2.3 seconds to get from 0-62mph.
The Ariel Atom was also voted one of Britain’s 50 best cars ever made by a panel of 10 judges earlier this year.
