The Concept A is the latest exercise in Mercedes design boss Gorden Wagener's "Sensual Purity" design language.
"Our Concept A Sedan shows that the time of creases is over," Daimler AG chief design officer Gorden Wagener said in a statement.
"With its perfect proportions and a sensual treatment of surfaces with reduced lines, it is the next milestone of 'Sensual Purity' and has the potential to introduce a new design era."
Up front, the Concept A, with it's prominent grille work and angular headlights, bears a striking resemblance to the high performance AMG division's GT Concept which was unveiled earlier this year in Geneva.
At the same time, its overall design is punctuated by large side mirrors, 20-inch wheels, and a relatively slim greenhouse.
Since the Concept A is a mere design study as this point, Mercedes has not released any detailed technical specs.
