Rethinking the Mercedes Silver Arrow The classic 1930s and 1950s Silver Arrows from Mercedes count as some of the most beautiful racing cars ever designed. Hubert Lee - the creative director of Mercedes' LA design operation - created a new Mercedes Silver Arrow for the 2011 LA auto show design competition, the LA Design Challenge. The theme for 2011 was cars for a futuristic Hollywood movie. 'We looked at many influences, but Syd Mead was definitely one,' Lee explains. Beneath the silver wheel shells are omni-directional diagonal rubber sections on a roller that allow steering in all directions. To enable access for passengers, 'the whole dashboard, bonnet and front grille slides forward as one section into the scooped area between the front wheels to create the space for the doors to open up, scissor-style'

经典的1930年代和1950年代，梅赛德斯的银箭算是有史以来设计的最漂亮的赛车之一。但是21世纪的版本会是什么样子呢？38岁的韩国人美国休伯特·李(Hubert Lee)-梅赛德斯洛杉矶设计公司的创意总监-也提出了同样的问题，并为2011年洛杉矶车展设计比赛创造了一种新的梅赛德斯·银箭-洛杉矶设计挑战。设计挑战旨在将创意团队推向极限，使用科幻场景和骇人听闻的技术，设计挑战是行业蓝天思维的快照。壁纸*赶上李在他的卡尔斯巴德，加州工作室，讨论他的新概念，过去的设计热门和灵感。你对这辆看起来不可思议的车有什么影响？休伯特·李：2011年洛杉矶设计挑战赛的主题是一部未来好莱坞电影的汽车，所以我们看了很多影响，但希德·米德绝对是其中之一。我们从一个故事板开始，写了一本漫画书。这让我们想到了汽车应该是什么样子。你能解释一下那些伟大的无轮毂车轮的工作原理吗？在银轮壳下是全方位对角橡胶截面的滚筒，允许转向所有方向。这种技术已经存在于一些叉车上。你怎么进进出出？其想法是，整个仪表板，帽和前格栅滑动作为一个部分进入铲斗区域之间的前轮，以创造空间为大门打开，剪刀风格。这只是一个由纤维增强塑料(FRP)制成的概念。没有真正的内部可以进入。除了竞争之外，它的目的是什么？在我们的生物群落设计概念在去年的洛杉矶设计挑战赛中取得成功之后，我们希望在今年创造更多的“娱乐设计”。这并不是太严重，该项目给予设计师比平常更多的自由。这也是一个很好的方式向世界表明，梅赛德斯并不害怕发表声明。除了概念之外，任何生产汽车都有你的设计邮票吗？当前的CLS是最近出现的。从最初的素描到最终的模特，我什么都要做。我很幸运，但我有很多帮助(奔驰设计全球主管)戈登瓦格纳。你在加州的位置对你的工作过程有帮助吗？天气是关键，当你走出演播室进入阳光灿烂的时候，你就像“哇”。它会让你更快乐，更积极，这也会渗透到你的工作中。我不想打德国，但如果你走
