“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, as Mercedes-Benz led the charge in integrating cutting-edge technologies into its vehicles.
From advanced assistance systems to groundbreaking powertrains and connectivity solutions, this era epitomizes 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 across seven distinct drops with very limited supply.
It was exhilarating to witness the design team – the same people behind the creation of Mercedes-Benz cars – experiment 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 newest drop – the second one in the collection – will feature six of the most iconic cars produced from 2000 to 2017.”
