Mercedes F-Cell Concept


Seems like everybody is downsizing these days. 

The F-Cell Roadster is driven by a fuel cell, through drive by wire technology, via a joystick instead of a steering wheel. It has a top speed of 25 km/h, and a range of up to 350 km/h. The point though, is that it's emission free.


An interesting design study that draws on a broad range of engineering era's. Some elements tie back to the early automotive industry of the late 1800's, while other elements share genes with modern F1; and still others are looking ahead to incorporate future yet-to-be-commercialized technologies. 

And just imagine what will happen when AMG gets ahold of this...
