# Mercedes Concept Morphs Magnetically 2057 SilverArrow By Going Like Sixty | Published 2007-10-21 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2057-mercedes-may-be-made-of-silver-flow References: [autoblog](http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/12/l-a-auto-show-robocar-2057-mercedes-benz-silverflow/) The LA 2007 Auto Design Challenge has released this beauty on the world. The [2057 Mercedes Benz concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-mercedesbenz-sclass) resembles the [racers of long ago](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-99x), but has a [totally futuristic feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electra-orbit). The designers really stretched their imaginations by making the SilverArrow from micro-metallic particles that can be arranged by magnetic fields. Those preset fields would be stored on your key ring. The entire car would be reshaped into a vat of metal, that could be stored in a barrel. When you're ready to take a spin, a touch of the key would reassemble the car in the shape you desire that day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Micro-magnetic Materials:** Opportunity for exploring the use of micro-metallic particles and magnetic fields for reshaping objects. - **Key-based Preset Configurations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating key-based preset configurations for various objects, enabling easy reshaping and customization. - **Portable Reshaping Technology:** Exploring the potential for developing portable technology that allows objects to be reshaped and stored in compact forms. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in incorporating micro-magnetic materials and key-based preset configurations in automotive design. - **Industrial Design Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in using micro-metallic particles and magnetic fields for reshaping and customizing various products in the industrial design sector. - **Technology Industry:** Exploring disruptive innovation opportunities in developing portable reshaping technology for various industries and consumer products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Futuristic Modern Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-vision-oneeleven.md) - [Turtle-Inspired Sleek Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-imobility.md) - [Stylish Concept Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-cla.md) - [Art Deco Show-Car Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-iconic.md) - [Plane-Inspired Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-concept-vehicle.md) - [Solar-Powered Sedan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-eqxx.md) - [Hybrid-System Futuristic Hypercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-one.md) - [Retro Sci-Fi-Inspired Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-12cilindri.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md)
