Mercedes-Benz F 700 Concept

Designed to be a low-consumption, low-emissions luxury sedan, the F 700 concept utilizes Mercedes’ DiesOtto and hybrid technologies. The result of the combined powertrain — consisting of a 238 horsepower 1.8 liter gasoline four-cylinder and a 20 horsepower electric motor — is a reported 44 mpg with CO2 emissions of just 127g/km, both figures being extremely low for a car of F 700’s size.

An all-new active suspension technology is also featured on the F 700, dubbed PRE-SCAN. The new system uses two laser to scan the road in front of the car and automatically adjusts the suspension to suit conditions. The F 700 also features SERVO-HMI (Human Machine Interface), a virtual operating assistant that the driver can converse with.

The concept was designed at Mercedes’ Advanced Design Studio in Irvine, California.
