Late Virgil Abloh-designed Project Maybach all-electric concept is a head-turner - In pics
The world lost famed fashion designer Virgil Abloh just a few days ago, who unexpectedly passed away earlier this week. Abloh collaborated with Daimler design chief Gorden Wagener on a one-off project called Project Maybach, a slick looking all-electric concept car. The stunning off-road model is based on the luxurious Maybach cars and gets chunky tyres, a roof rack, and other outdoorsy accessories. With its trademark massively long hood, solar cells underneath the transparent sheet metal and other interesting styling bits, Project Maybach is more than just a design piece, but a statement for the future electric vehicles.

The seats can be folded completely flat, which should make sleeping out in the wilderness easy, matching the whole outdoor theme of the vehicle.
