Mercedes F700: The Flying carpet
the F700 with three conventional front-hinged doors and a fourth rear-hinged door at the rear on the right - the latter designed to facilitate entry and exit for those seated in the right rear side seat, which can either be set in the direction of travel or turned through 180-degrees to position the occupant in the opposite direction to travel. At 5180mm in length, 1960mm in width and 1438mm in height, the F700 is a scant 25mm shorter but a considerable 90mm wider and 37mm lower than today"s long wheelbase S-Class, the longest sedan in the Mercedes-Benz range.
When it comes to comfort and style the F 700 is one step ahead to most of the luxury cars. Maximized interior space, hydraulically controlled active suspensions, reverse seats, advanced avatar based controller system, shockproof body and powerful engine make the car by all means a flying carpet. Mercedes-Benz F700 Concept with its innovative and very spacious interior design enables an entirely new and exceedingly comfortable mode of travel. The Mercedes-Benz F700 Concept provides inspiring ideas for the technological future of Mercedes-Benz once again - like each of the research cars which preceded it.
The Mercedes-Benz F700 Concept is the world's first car that can anticipatively recognize the condition of the road and level out the uneven spots with its active PRE-SCAN suspension, further improving suspension comfort substantially. With two laser scanners the active PRE-SCAN suspension scans the roadway in front of the car. The forward-pointing DIESOTTO drive system introduced in the Mercedes-Benz F700 Concept, a four-cylinder with a displacement of only 1.8 liters, combines the strong points of the low-emission gasoline engine with the consumption benefits of the diesel drive. "Our goal is to make the gasoline-powered car just as economical in consumption as the diesel. The new DIESOTTO concept is a major step in that direction, combining the best properties of the spark-ignition engine and the diesel engine," says Dr. Thomas Weber, Board member of DaimlerChrysler AG responsible for Group Research & Mercedes Car Group Development.
The new DiesOtto engine is claimed to offer the power, smoothness and low emissions of a typical petrol engine in combination with the torque, flexibility and frugal properties of a diesel. The new engine is capable of switching between two distinctively different ignition processes depending on the driving conditions. When started, the aluminum block engine runs in so-called petrol mode, with an air/fuel mixture being injected into the cylinders and ignited by a spark plug. However, once temperatures within the engine have risen sufficiently and it is under light loads it automatically switches to diesel mode, where the compression ratio is raised and the spark plug is deactivated in a move aimed at enhancing overall efficiency. It's enough, says Mercedes-Benz, to provide the F700 with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.5sec and a top speed limited to 200km/h.
Mercedes Benz has the hi-tech engineering legacy to boast upon as their products always mark the high end standards of technical perfection and error-less designing. F700 is the latest example from the family of Mercedes to prove this. F700, the futuristic concept car is not just a luxurious car but rightly the worlds first intelligent car that defines luxury and comfort.
