The Mercedes-Benz F-Cell roadster combines the latest technologies with the history of the automobile. In line with the Benz patent motorcar from 1886 is the vehicle with large wheels spokes. Moreover, the F-Cell Roadster style elements from various eras vehicle. These include for example the carbon seat shells with handmade leather as well as the striking, modeled on the Formula-1 racing cars designed front fiberglass.
The vehicle will be driven by drive-by-wire technology - the traditional steering wheel will be replaced by a joystick. For the drive provided by the zero-emission fuel cell system in the rear. With an output of 1.2 kW / hp 1.63 achieved the F-Cell Roadster, a maximum speed of 25 km / h and provides a range of up to 350 kilometers.

But that weighs the true lightweight, like a modern version of a mobile carriage seems, only 350 kilograms.
Approximately one year worked on a total of 150 trainees and Dual students in the design, development, assembly and completion of the F-Cell roadster. They were young in the fields of "motor vehicle mechatronics", "Model", "electronics", "coating technology", "Manufacturing Mechanics" and "product design" and "vehicle interior" part. The primary objective of the project was to investigate the issue of alternative drives in the training practical to integrate.

Rolls-Royce RR4: Mini-Rolls gets the power of 500 hp
