Luxury Hardwood Concept Cars

The Mercedes-Benz Aria Has Four Suicide Doors and Hardwood Floors

— May 20, 2011 — Autos
Here's hoping that when 2030 comes around I will be economically able to afford the Mercedes-Benz Aria concept. Designer Slavche Tanevski has designed an all-electric Mercedes-Benz inspired by everything from a swan to a violin.

First and foremost, the Mercedes-Benz Aria is an eco-car powered by four electric motors mounted in each of its wheels. The car has a sleek and aerodynamic exterior that features an astounding four suicide doors. The interior is unique with four seats that all seem to have equal amounts of leg room (a miracle), all sitting on what looks to be a hardwood floor.

If a hardwood floor in an electric coupe with four suicide doors doesn't scream luxury, then I don't know what does. You can check out some still shots of the Mercedes-Benz Aria or watch the video breakdown complete with epic music here.
