                                          Mercedes Benz F800.

The F800 is a five-seat upper-range sedan that is powered by efficient drive technologies and expresses the new design language of Mercedes-Benz, the one that should feature in the brand's future models.

The F800 Style features a bold front-end with new radiator grille with the centrally placed brand star, generously curved air intake openings, LED lights, ’pivot-and-slide’ rear doors and grey metallic ALU-BEAM color tone.

The F800 is characterized by a multi drive platform which allows to use two alternative drive systems  a Plug-in Hybrid or a fuel cell.

The hybrid powertrain couples a direct-injection, 300-hp V-6 gas engine with a 109-hp electric motor that lives in the seven-speed transmission housing and draws its power from a 10-kWh lithium-ion battery stashed under the rear seat. Normally, simply adding the power figures of the internal-combustion engine and electric motor will not accurately produce a hybrid system’s actual power output. But in this case, Mercedes claims just that, stating the F800 has 409 combined horsepower.

The vehicle’s front end features a variation of the radiator grille with the centrally placed brand star that is typical of Mercedes sports cars.The curved radiator grille bars softly flow around the tube holding the Mercedes-Benz brand star.Along with the wide radiator grille and the generously curved air intake openings, the model’s unique bright LED headlights emphasize the dynamic nature of the research vehicle.The headlights are divided into individual segments for daytime running lights, turn signal indicators, and primary headlights.
The F800 concept also introduces two new technologies that will doubtless appear in upcoming models. Distronic Plus Traffic Jam Assistant is an enhanced version of Mercedes' active cruise control system, which can now steer the car through curves as long as it's traveling under 25 mph. Also new is the Pre-Safe 360-degree system, which expands the existing Pre-Safe collision detection/mitigation system to the rear of the car. Now, if Pre-Safe senses that a rear-end impact is imminent, it'll apply the brakes in a bid to keep the car from getting into an additional chain-reaction accident involving other cars or pedestrians.
