Rapper DDG Explores the Mind-Blowing Mercedes Vision AVTR

DDG, whose actual name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., began his career as a YouTuber before gradually transitioning into the music industry. However, at only 25 years old, he appears to be doing quite well, as he was present at the premiere of The Way of Water, the second installment in the Avatar franchise.

He posted a series of pictures on social media with the caption, “Went to see Avatar yesterday,” and warned his followers, “Like this picture or I’ll direct message you and reveal the ending.”

In addition to being able to view the film before its premiere on Friday, December 16, DDG also had the opportunity to view the Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR concept vehicle in person.

Next to the futuristic Vision AVTR concept vehicle, which stands for Advanced Vehicle Transformation, he snapped a photo. It was inspired by the Avatar franchise and designed in collaboration with Lighstorm Entertainment, which produced the movie series. Mercedes-Benz introduced it at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2020.

The Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR combines cutting-edge technology with a bionic design, with transparent butterfly doors and 33 bionic flaps affixed on the rear. Also, it is entirely electric.

The interior of the concept car is all about sustainability, as evidenced by Mercedes-Benz’s “Earth is our Pandora” marketing campaign. The compartment is constructed with eco-friendly materials, including Dinamica vegan leather made from recyclable materials and rattan.

Mercedes-Benz utilized more than just the Vision AVTR for its partnership with Avatar. For the red carpet premiere, the brand utilized its EQS SUV as a canvas, pairing it with a digital LED wall to create a visual voyage through the world’s oceans.

DDG did not get to ride in the EQS SUV, but he was clearly impressed by the Vision AVTR.
