A helicopter that rides like an S-Class

Mercedes has always been associated with luxury sedans, chauffeuring VIPs around the world with their S-Class and Maybach. There’s even a pimped out Sprinter van if you need more space. But what about compact vehicles flying in the air for short trips in the city? I’m not talking about a private plane like the G6, I’m referring to a chopper.
A helicopter usually looks small and dull, and also slightly dangerous at times. But lots of 5-star people fly around using helicopters too, like how Bruce Wayne flies around with two chicks. That’s why the German automaker’s design studio has partnered with Eurocopter for this unique whirly-bird to let you arrive at your birthday party on the top floor of your own building, in the most glamorous style.
Unveiled at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibit in Geneva, this EC145 – a favorite for luxury travel as it is for medevac teams and a myriad other applications – has had its cabin outfitted by the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studio on Italy’s Lake Como. There, design chief Gorden Wagener oversaw the fitment of the chopper’s cabin with all the usual Benz touches, from ambient lighting to wood trim. The cabin has also been arranged in a flexible layout, with seats that can be moved around on rails to seat up to eight passengers or removed to offer extra space for the privileged few.
The project is the first initiative of Mercedes-Benz Style, the automaker’s new product-design division, who we expect will be rolling out a number of licensed designs over the course of the coming years. If you want to live a life like how Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark do, then this is a MUST in your garage.
