It was at the 2015 EBACE show in Geneva where Lufthansa
Technik showcased its Mercedes-Benz Style VIP Cabin, which was co-developed
with the German carmaker.
The two brands have collaborated once again to come
up with a new version of the VIP Cabin. Called Inspired by AMG, the new
sportive take on the prestigious VIP aircraft cabin was introduced at
recently-concluded 2018 EBACE show. The latest design of the aircraft cabin
blends the dynamic architecture of the Mercedes-Benz Style interiors featuring
its characteristic flowing DNA helix, and Sensual Purity design language with
elements inspired by the unique and sportive appearance of Daimler AG
subsidiary Mercedes-AMG.
“Based on the large international interest and positive
feedback which we have achieved so far, we have decided to develop a second
variant of our extremely well-received Mercedes-Benz Style VIP cabin. We want
to reach new customer groups with a strong affinity for a unique sportive
design. That’s why we took inspiration from Mercedes-AMG and their worldwide
successful performance and sports cars, being the brand of the Daimler group
which stands for cutting-edge technology, exclusivity and performance since
decades,” said Wieland Timm, Senior Director Sales, VIP and Special Mission
Aircraft, at Lufthansa Technik.
The color palate and design elements of the new “Inspired by
AMG” VIP cabin design is inspired by the carmaker’s latest sports car –
Mercedes AMG GT C. The brown and white interiors were swapped for sportier grey
and black along with the use of carbon fiber, giving it a more dynamic appeal.
The cabin features black panels which are inspired by the design of dashboards
in AMG sports cars. Mercedes-Benz Magic Sky technology lets the panels to be
dimmed electrically from black to transparent. Displays and touch screens for
entertainment and information screens can easily be integrated into the black
panels.
