Larte Design Mercedes-Benz V-Class Black Crystal has been introduced for the first time this year back in the end of January. However, we received details only regarding the interior of the car, which stunned us with its vast luxurious cabin, high-quality materials and ambient atmosphere. In other words, this V-Class promised to be an example of maximum level of comfort and individuality for VIP persons… or whoever can afford it.
It is now time, to reveal the rest of the van – its exterior and the reason why its name is “Black Crystal”. The idea behind the design pack is to make the ultimate luxurious “business jet on wheels”. And the aim was to show that passengers can experience high level of wellbeing.
