Mercedes Benz F800 Style

Advanced design combines elegant bodywork tomorrow environmentally driven and reduced consumption, without sacrificing the dynamic driving experience. Geneva technologically avant-garde novelty abounds with innovations that will be exploited in the whole range three-pronged star in the near future

The tradition continued ... Since 1981. The study entitled "Auto 2000" German engineers planned with the so-called "research vehicle" to present the implementation of the latest technologies and solutions announced will adorn future production models. Like its predecessor in 2007. year study called "F700", the latest creation features a seductive form of bodywork. "F800 style" may be seen as the "baby CLS", or more precisely stylish herald of second generation Mercedes elegant model presented 2005th year. Dynamic project signed by the chief designer of the Mercedes-Benz Gordon Vagener innovative functionality that last sliding doors and futuristic interior winds announces changes in Stuttgart. Massive "grill" carries genes of super-sports "SLS AMG" and modern lines irregularly shaped headlamps in LED technology operate in three modes: positional, daily fashion and function with a signal flashers. The aerodynamic concept is "booted" in 20 inch wheels while the traditional silver color fits perfectly harmonious dimensions that further emphasize the emotional approach to stylization. Striking coupé form without the "B" pillar and sports sideline underlying the attractiveness of the "F800 style" while the rear part of the vehicle with the original decision of LED light groups and flowing lines forms a compelling whole. Sensual roofline brings functional novelty in the form of a multipart transparent roof that contributes interior illumination.

Unusual interior was created in a creative environment "advanced design study" on Lake Como in Italy. "F800 style" offers a spacious and offer comfortable space for five passengers. Inside is the use of bright skin tones creates an impression of extraordinary high lighted and spacious cabins, and there is evidence of a tendency of reduction of weight, so the seats and other interior elements of lightweight and strong materials, especially carbon fiber and magnesium. Steering wheel avant-garde shapes reminiscent of piloting, and abundant use of wood in three-dimensional form gives the stamp of a minimalist setting. Display dominates the front of the driver where to draw the most essential parameters, while the elegant center console is a multifunctional touchscreen monitor last generation. Under the bonnet, the premiere multidrive platform, which in the "plugin" rechargeable composition combines a 3.5 liter V6 petrol engine with a jet injection system and the "piezo" injectors of 300 "horses" with hybrid module that delivers 109 hp. Despite the weight of 1,700 pounds, the tandem in symbiosis provides impressive performance, the sprint to 100 km / h takes just 4.8 seconds, and top speed is limited to 250 km / h. Progress reduces environmentally harmful carbon dioxide emissions to just 68 grams per kilometer.

Thanks to a powerful electrical drive, "F800 style" reached a respectable 120 km / h and has a range lithium-ion battery is 30 kilometers, and then simply supplement the standardized plugs. Doing this is not sacrificed space for passengers, because lithium ion battery occupies very small space and is placed under the rear seat, which contributes to safety during collision. Cooling of the battery is connected to the air conditioning system of the vehicle, which guarantees optimal working conditions, the range of 15 to 35 degrees Celsius and a longer life expectancy. Power transmission is handled 7GTRONIC transmissions, and in EV mode (electrical drive) consumes only 2.9 liters of gasoline, which is a revolutionary result for the class of vehicle to which it belongs. A particular challenge for the German experts was synchronizing the system of opposing units which achieved a harmonious driving experience. The first production, "Mercedes", which will present the rechargeable market composition will be the next generation of luxury cruiser "S 500" with "plugin" hybrid. Another option is an alternative facility is based on the principle of the fuel cell, which guarantee a high level of functional efficiency, because it is based on an electrochemical energy conversion.

Complex system of future is tailored, form and size of the study, and the main components are reduced and placed in the engine compartment. The electric motor is placed between the rear wheels, and the battery is stored behind the rear seat. Fuel cell in combination with lithium-ion batteries that drives an electric motor that produces 136 hp and torque of 290 Nm ... Central electronic control unit decides the kind of energy power the "F800 style" and when a simultaneous operation at full capacity. Maximum speed is then 180 km / h, and a "hundred on" arrives in 11 seconds, with fuel consumption of 0.9 kilograms of hydrogen per 100 kilometers, which is equivalent to the 3-liter diesel in the same section. Fuel capacity of 5.2 pounds hydrogen "F800 style" guarantees 600 kilometers away, and the pioneer of alternative visions of the drive Mercedes-Benz range of cars will be the "B" class, which will soon be available to a selected customer. In addition to the offer of modern engines that reduce fuel consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide from the Stuttgart premiere project presents a number of technological solutions.

As a contribution to raising the quality of driving and active security issue, especially in urban settings, was presented and improved "distronik plus" (Distronic Plus Traffic Jam Assistant), who functions as an aid in the traffic jam. The system corrects the speed of the vehicle in front, even to the point standings, which ranks it as the first system in the world that functions while the vehicle is stationary. The latest version is out and autonomous movement in the curves using the trajectory of the vehicle in front, but taking into account all aspects of security.

If the vehicle is moving ahead with its lane, "F800 style" monitors it, but if the vehicle in front off the tape, the system detects the situation and maintains direction. The result is that the driver speeds up to 40 km / h need not turn to perform an action, but only to keep your hands on the steering wheel, while the electronics done everything else. Of course, the driver can at any time by turning the steering wheel to take control, automatically excluding sensitive sensors that regulate the functioning of the "distronik plus" system. As a reminder, the first version of "distronik" debuted in the "S" Class of 1998. The roots and pulling out of the project "F100" represented by the 1991st year. In the field of passive safety, novelty is "safe at 360 °" (PRE-SAFE 360 °), the evolution of the presented system 2002nd year, which is now detected and the area behind the vehicle (up to 60 meters), employing the brake 600 milliseconds before it came to a contact with the rear part of the vehicle. The Mercedes points out that the serial version to use the new MFA platform that will serve as the basis for future "A" and "B" class, as well as the city announced SUV model, because the platform supports different wheelbase. Dimensions "F800 stalls" suggest that the production version will share the platform with future coupe "C" class.

Mechanical will rely on the "C" class, similar in size and because "style" long 4.738mm, 1.938mm wide and 1.445mm tall. With a wheelbase of 2.924mm and the luggage compartment of 440 liters, comfort is guaranteed, and is expected to be driven on the front axle, although the concept of the designed features and modular platform for the operationalization of the rear wheels. However, we should expect that the solution with the most advanced concept vehicles found application in the production model, whose premiere, according to preliminary announcements expected in the 2013th year. A compromise will be inevitable and when visual correction anterior vehicles due to strict regulations of crash tests, but in the Mercedes stand how distinctive and aggressive character of the vehicle remain unchanged. Traditionally, the top deals will be found turbo AMG version with a projected 300 hp and all wheel drive.
