(Elbil24): We were present when the audio and video giant Sony – without warning – showed up the Vision-S concept car during the big electronics fair CES in Las Vegas two years ago.
Aroused great attention
The sleek sedan surprise created some of the biggest headlines from CES at the time, but the company was vague on whether the car would ever be put into production. The most important thing was to demonstrate various Sony technologies in the concept car, they said at the time.
The Vision-S concept car was, among other things, equipped with two electric motors with a total power of 536 horsepower, operation on all four wheels and 0-100 km / h should be able to be processed in 4.8 seconds. The top speed was reported to be 240 km / h.
Now they will speed up microchip production
Seriously
Possibly it was the enormous interest in Vision-S that made them one year later send more copies of the concept car out on test driving on roads in Austria, later also both Germany and Japan, and several sources close to the company claimed that it was likely that the car would eventually go into series production.
And it does not stop there. During this year’s CES, Sony presented another electric car concept, this time an SUV that has been named Vision-S 02. The first is now renamed Vision-S 01.

Self-propelled entertainment machine?
The SUV uses the same electric driveline as the sedan. The car will otherwise be equipped with 5G, lidar and a load of sensors and cameras, and thus hints that they want to take a position in self-driving cars sometime in the future.
The car otherwise uses the interconnected data from sensors and cameras to inform the driver about the traffic around, emergency vehicles and the like.

Of course, Sony’s entertainment and sound systems are central here, and according to the company, the speakers will form a “three-dimensional sound field” in the cabin. Entertainment in the form of video content from its own streaming services must also be able to be displayed on the ultra-wide screen located in front of the front passenger.

Establishes own company
Sony confirms that later this year they will establish a company called Sony Mobility, which is expected to continue working on the concepts – which emphasizes that the electronics giant is serious about Vision-S 01 and Vision-S 02.
