Here is a unique Mercedes F200! If you didn’t know the letter F stands for Forschungsfahrzeug in the range mercedes. It means “experimental” in French. In other words, this is a concept car! And the last one was first presented to the public at the Paris Motor Show in 1996.
Class S and CL until time
Under its lines, which will become like those of the S-class and CL from the same period is hiding damn car! The huge hood of this coupe covers The 6-liter V12 still makes 294 hp! A mechanic like us does more than he would be allowed to develop 250 km/h if its driver had the guts to push it to top speed. Yes, courage, because it mercedes has a feature that probably wouldn’t be easy to handle at that speed…
No steering wheel, no pedals!
We better understand the unusualness of this coupe as soon as we look at its interior. And for good reason, there is no steering wheel! This F200 is actually controlled with a joystick located in the middle of the center console! As a result, there is no need to build “right-hand” and “left-hand” versions, just change the place of the joystick. And this is not the only feature of the concept, because the electronic accelerator is also controlled with a joystick! Without a doubt, this Mercedes concept is truly unusual!
