‘The Era of Technology’ is the second chapter in the Mercedes-Benz NXT Icons Collection, focusing on Mercedes-Benz cars produced between 2000 and 2017. This era symbolizes a period of unprecedented technological advancement and innovation, during which Mercedes-Benz led the way in integrating advanced technologies into its vehicles.
From advanced assistance systems to groundbreaking powertrains and connectivity solutions, this era embodies the brand’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive excellence.

“The Mercedes-Benz NXT Icons collection is a celebration of Mercedes-Benz’s automotive design heritage,” said Sebastian Ihler, co-founder and head of Product 0xNXT GmbH. “For the first time, we are offering Mercedes-Benz’s most emblematic car designs as digital collectibles in seven different releases with a very limited supply.
It was exciting to see the design team – the same people behind the creation of Mercedes-Benz cars – experimenting with designs that are only possible in the digital world, such as dynamic car paint colors and patterns. This collection not only commemorates Mercedes-Benz’s past, but also pioneers the future of digital collectability.
The latest release – the second in the collection – will feature six of the most iconic cars produced between 2000 and 2017.”
