Mercedes EQS concept car
This may be the shortest road test in the world, but it is the most amazing
We are behind the wheel of the concept EQS Mercedes, a vehicle that points to a high-tech future, but for now it must be handled with care
Mercedes EQS took center stage on the Mercedes platform at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year
It was designed to illustrate what a future electric limousine will look like inside and out
We are at the back of Essendon Airport, adjacent to the hangar of private jets. We are tested on a 200-meter concrete patch that leads to a car lane. We get it a few times, and we've probably accumulated 500 meters at best
Test times from 0 to 100 km / h are not allowed and do not flow through safety cones, because this is a handcrafted car that was not supposed to be "driven" - other than the truck on and off and display table
Windows are perspex and doors must be opened by car assistants who use a hidden key; there are no door or interior door handles
The carpet floor slides from under your feet as you enter it as it is a felt cover with a double sided tape. It looks great on photos but you weren't supposed to have a queue of media in and out as if it were Uber
