The MOST INSANE CAR to Ever Drive in Hollywood! Finding the Mercedes Vision AVTR
This is not something you will see every day! Timed with the premiere of Avatar: The Way of Water, let's head to Hollywood to not only search for the Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR, but to find myself riding in the passenger seat with the craziest reactions on Hollywood Boulevard!
Created following the first Avatar movie, the Mercedes Vision AVTR is a concept straight from the future; with no steering wheel, a design inspired by nature and Avatar the movie, it moves sideways with a control pad in the centre and more. The partnership from Mercedes and Disney was to create a concept that would bring together humans, machine and nature, and there are signs of this throughout.
Having heard that the car was in Hollywood, we jump into my Mercedes AMG GT Black Series from Orange County for the drive up to see if we can find it. Having been lucky to join Mercedes for a first drive in this very same machine back in summer 2020, I'm excited to see the same car on another continent. This time however, is without prior arrangement but upon arrival it becomes apparent where the car is being prepared at a hotel ahead of driving along the famous road.
Not only that though, the very kind team invited me to take a seat onboard for a short stretch of the road, and to experience the reactions from the crowds of people lining Hollywood Boulevard! What an exciting time for such a unique machine, all connected to the launch this week of the new Avatar: The Way of Water movie.
Thanks for watching, Tim

Been a pleasure having you aboard Tim ⭐️
send me an AMG 🫶
Add me on the list
come on Mercedes you should be self driving and using Ai
Hello Mercedes, how's it going?
Love 🥰 Mercedes Benz 4 eva !
Only Tim could have driven the car before in Germany and knew enough of the support staff, had positive interactions with them. Then gotten a ride as either the Movie marketing or Mercedes Marketing wanted some rolling shots.
He has worked hard, for many years, to make those connections, to create such a network.
And showing up in a British registered gt black series didn’t hurt either
They say karma isn't real 😂😂😂
@@y-rokenjnr6157 Karma is a human invention, wishful thinking. Not based on any verifiable evidence.
@@slcncr agree to disagree
That thing instantly dates everything in its path. Despite being a few years old it looks like the newest thing on the road.
It's actually crazy to think it's 3 years old now and still this wild
@@Shmee150 what an amazing piece of art. Thanks for sharing Shmee.
How, it goes 10mpg max and rattles like a 1920s car 😂.
@@Shmee150 It looks like something from Cyberpunk 2077
can you bring the after car back
Incredible design. Keep up the great work shmee!!
Thanks for the support
Thanks for the extra effort, Tim. Finding the concept and getting us on board.
Tim manages to get in every special car. Hard work and great contacts.
When he said “all right, back in here”, I literally almost spit out my drink that was hilarious Tim😂.
Huge thanks to Mercedes for letting Shmee take a ride. Also pretty sure Shmee goes viral for being passenger
That dashboard is insane! I know it’s a concept but it gives you an idea of what Mercedes is truly capable of doing with their interior design
Yeah aside from the gigantic reflection on the windshield. :p
@@JB-mk4ry facts only would make sense if you didn't have to steer at all.
@@ivanreese7087 Vehicles like this will be fully autonomous by the time they come out for the public. This is a concept for what is to come 10-20 years from now.
@@podkriznikaljaz for more than a concept its real now. But if that takes 10-20 yrs imagine what will be available by then
Yes its a vegan dashboard because James Cameron is a vegan.
You’ll have your own star in Hollywood soon. That was insane. Thank you for showing us. Shmee will be very famous now
I doubt it😂
@@user-fq5by4ny1r you're just hating for no reason
@@saqz11 What would the internet be without the haters. Cheers.
@@saqz11 do you really think a car youtuber will get a star on the walk of fame lmao are you like 12?
you idolize the wrong things
What a fascinating concept! Thank you, Shmee, for another exclusive video! ⚡👍
This was awesome Shmee! What a concept, thanks for showing us.
You lucky Man!!! Great video. Thanks Tim. Can't wait to see more unusual vehicles you show us. 🙏🏽💯💯🙌
Thank you for the content! You never fail to entertain us car enthusiasts❤❤❤
You walking behind it chasing reminds me of your old videos haha great video Tim!
I love this guys videos soooooo much. Absolute Legend this man is
You've outdone yourself again Sir, one of the best yet. Thank you.
Cool to see the future on the road finally. Hope its coming in the nxt 3yrs. Surprised the suspension seemed so stiff. Still love my I.C.E. thou. A mix of both would be best of both worlds. GREAT content as usual. 👍🏾💯
The cars you get to drive are mega and fantastic great work Shmee
it was my dream to see this car driving through the streets and people amazed, now I can rest in peace, thank you🍷🗿
Those wheels, especially when in motion, look absolutely insane ! I´m looking forward to watching Avatar 2 soon. I never go in cinemas, because of my Tinnitus and movies there being very loud usually, but that movie i am definitely going to watch.
Love all your vlogs.... Keep grinding 💪 💯
Thank you! Will do!
Nice shot in the reflection, moving. Great content!
Thank you for this treat Tim! Cheers! M
Love how Shmee somehow ends up in the car getting driven around with a police escort!
How mindblowing the AVTR may be.. it can't compete the sound of the AMG...for me sound is key... love your vids Tim.. grtz from the grazy Dutchman
Who cares about sound when you are quite literally driving a spaceship
What a cool car!! Can't wait to see the new movie, the first one was fantastic. Thanks for sharing Shmee.
Love ❤️ Mercedes Benz design. Brilliant work again ! 🚙
You can tell you were very excited! AWESOME CAR & VIDEOS!!
i just realised im pretty early love ur videos good to watch them
Oh Tim you are living the dream! My hat of to you sir! 👊✌
Hi, that was so awesome Tim and congratulation. Cheers from Australia,
I love the clunk clunk as it goes over the bumps in the road. 😂
WOW Tim, what a scoop!!!
Tim never fails to get places that others can only dream about! Lots of ideas for the future MB a cars.🙂🙂
YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH HAPPY I AM WATCHING THIS❤
I lived in LA for several years back when I was touring musician. I seem to remember spending many days in traffic holding in a pee. Fun times.
4:06 I caught a glimpse of the Griffith Observatory as you were trying to point out the Hollywood sign.
Thanks for the share again...
Some say... glorified milk float... 😄 Enjoying your American adventure Tim keep up the good work 👍
My wife and I took a vacation out there about two years ago. Seeing the sign from the street was crazy
Come on back , it’s way better now than it was 2 years ago , it was dead as a door mail .
Wow 😳
another shmee w. keep it up ur the best homie
Cornelius would be proud 🙌🏻
Shmee as you said there are no right hand drive cars in the US a right hand drive postal vehicle rode by like am I a joke to you🤣🤣 that was so on point you can't make this stuff up The back of that Mercedes is scary looking to me idky but those things in the back creep me out 😱
Very cool video Shmee
Good job shmee and get nice shot for futuristic mercedes benz👍😎
This car is ideal for driving around at night during the Christmas holidays.
thing looks crazy!!
I still remember your video from a couple of yours ago on this car, first drive lol
#shquad......hi Tim and Puppi 😎, what a fantastic concept 🔥🔥
During the last minutes maybe the microphone with the video was not aligned. By the way stunning car and hopefully Shmee managed to be one the first person to try to show us the car! Support from 🇮🇹
That might just be the coolest working EV concept i have ever seen. like what the hell was that interior!!😧And of course Mercedes are the ones to do it. Wow
Thank you for actually being inside this thing and moving more than a 200 ft circle like supercar blondie
I think my favorite thing about it is that it works. There's a lot of concept vehicles that can drive but few are like this one. Being driven by basically a ball mouse in the middle of the console. The most importantly that a can steer on all four wheels and still have lights working.
And this is why the Lexus LC 500 so ahead of its time in futuristic look ❤
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's absolutey incredible that you got to see and ride in the All New Mercedes Vision AVTR on Hollywood Boulevard and I think it looks absolutely insane
Wow! This was awesome
The beast is here😍
Cheers mate 😎 👌
Ya know, I really thought that by looking at the design, that it would sound like luxury inside and feel like riding on a cloud, but it was the opposite and was like riding on absolutely no suspension, rock solid ride that also rattled it so much it sounded like an old deliver van! I think maybe I just expected more!?
It’s just for looks. Has no suspension. Without rubber tires it would destroy itself hitting a pothole on the highway.
Shmee with another banger ❤️
Thanks for watching
That's the reason why I am in love with Mercedes. First the car of Bruce Wayne in Batman, and now this.
Tim, I'll bet your crew back home could rig up the Black Series with sprite-type lights on the wheels. It sounds like something they were made to do. Just saying.
Bruhh u keep on delivering with every video u upload
Thank you
It's insane
Best regards from Germany 🙂 This is a car for future.... in 2099 we all drive in such cars 😲... I think.
this is crazy!!! so cool
It really is!
May be it's good to have a parade of future cars in convoys there.
I'm not a big fan of Mercedes, but this car is really cool. Looks like something from the movie TRON
Love your videos, do you’ll think you will do a northeast tour of the USA ?
Looks like something they could put into an upcoming Back to The Future
Wow incredible I hope this brings for You million views as well.
How cool would that be!
Is amazing how fast the techonology is improving
17:55 “off we go” says shmee in a very American accent 😂
Hey Tim there's room left for a Hollywood star in your name so there you have it speak into existence
I LIKE WHEN YOU SAID YOU NAMED IT CARS ON HOLLYWOOD BLVD 😂😅😆😁🤣
Sheeeeesh!! Now in real life ? Man!!!!!
Looks right out of Minority Report, but even wilder!
As soon as you described people being surprised about the AMG GT Black Series being right hand drive, the guy in the car next to you did a double take haha
I use since it came out and it actually save my life
Was this filmed today? I was heading south on the 405 thru the OC, while Shmee was heading north, but I didn't see an orange AMG Black Series! Hah ha.. Nor the Vision...
The Future is here... Well done Benz🤩
It’s been around for nearly 3 years now
10:30 - The future and the past in one frame.... Classic Camaro on the other side of the road with the AVTR in centre shot
So cool
Wow best ride ever
This car is absolutely insane
That car is insane man🫶
Staring wheel gives the feel
So freakin cool!!!
@13:20 the craziest car to ever cruise Hollywood BLVD with all the cameras and YOU ARE IN IT as well. Can't wait to see you in the passenger/drivers of seat from someone else. The seat doesn't matter, that control module does.
future 🔥
them wheels make any car look epic
Long time fan, and no hate intended, but the mention of the combustible battery around 14 minutes in was kinda funny 😂😂
Compostable
I know it's a concept car and you were taking a leisurely drive in it, but how fast does it really go? Any ideas?
Not fast. It’s just for looks. Has no suspension. Without rubber tires it would destroy itself hitting a pothole on the highway.
Sounds like it has an electric golf cart power train, probably the reason it only has a knob to control like a power wheel chair 😂😂😂💀
time to put some neon light on my tires 🤣
It's a movie prop, you can hear it shake and rattle as you drive and can see the gap in the cheaply made door. Reminded me of the kiddie train at the carnival.
Wow, we are truly living in the future!!!
Tim might go down as the 🐐 auto KZheadr
Thanks for the kind words
Very beautiful really very beautiful🤗👍🏻💯👊🏻
Ngl one of the craziest looking cars I’ve seen
