Luxurious Sedan Concept, Mercedes-Benz F 125

The futuristic sedan concept called Mercedes-Benz F 125 is started from a research project of a futuristic yet luxurious car that feature gull – wing doors, a lounge like interior with hi – tech feature, composite structure and also a fuel cell plug-in hybrid system. The Mercedes-Benz F 125 is exhibited at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. In pure electric mode, the vehicle can run about 50 km, but when the Plug-in hybrid system is used, 1,000 km of distances can be reached by this futuristic sedan. The pioneering bidyshell is created from lightweight hybrid construction coupled with fiber – reinforced plastic and mixed with carbon fiber, high strength steel and also aluminum.

“The hood has a stretched look, and dips at the centre. The so-called dropping line extends from the radiator grille and over the front wheels, then descends dramatically towards the rear where it forms a precise edge.

“Thanks to the alternating concave and convex surface contours, the side wall below the dropping line has an organic, arched effect.

“This muscular arching increases towards the front, where it envelops the front wheel. The rear axle is spanned by a powerful shoulder, which emerges from the beltline and is aerodynamically and abruptly delineated by the tail lights. The 23-inch wheels feature copper-coloured spoke elements, creating associations with the copper wire coils used in electric motors and making a visual reference to the car’s drive technology.”
