Mercedes-Benz F 800 shows the future of premium cars from a new perspective, this executive sedan has combined with efficient drive technology and security features unmatched comfort and emotive design idiom, which is now Mercedes-Benz styling in line with the typical attributes of sporty brand smooth. With a length of 4.75 meters from the exterior, the F 800 offers an interior that combines the concept of intelligent seating, control and display. The other of this sedan is all-new, highly flexible multi-drive platform, which is suitable for electric drive with fuel cells, allowing a variety of nearly 600 kilometers, as well as for plug-in hybrid that can drive up to 30 miles just on electricity. Both variants of the F 800 Style made locally emission-free mobility possible for a premium car, while at the same time is ideal for everyday driving and provides a dynamic driving experience.
"We are dedicated to reconciling our responsibility to the environment with practical customer benefits in an interesting car," says Dr. Thomas Weber, Daimler Board of Management member responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development. "The new F 800 research vehicle style combines a commitment to providing leading innovative drive concepts with our traditional strength of Mercedes in the field of design, safety comfort, and exceptional performance."
In the exterior with a length of 4.75 meters, all components of the system is very efficient and environmentally compatible alternative to hard vehicles (plug-in hybrid propulsion system or fuel cells) are mounted in the engine compartment and in gaps in the chassis to save space. Each drive system takes relatively little space. This applies in particular to an electric drive with fuel cells, which have been enhanced by Mercedes-Benz into a compact and powerful. Package compact front end is made possible by consistent reduction of the F-CELL components. As a result, the entire interior space is preserved and offers plenty of space for five occupants.
F 800 style with a plug-in hybrids have a great performance and CO2 emissions of 68 grams per kilometer. Thanks to its efficient drive system and a CO2 bonus for its battery-electric driving mode, the vehicle has a certified fuel consumption of 2.9 litres of petrol per 100 kilometres, equivalent to low CO2 emissions of 68 grams per kilometre – six grams per kilometre lower than the Vision S 500 Plug-in HYBRID. Yet the F 800 Style with plug-in hybrid still delivers performance on a par with a sports car (0-100 km/h in 4.8 s, top speed of 250 km/h). When driven in electric mode, the F 800 Style has a top speed of 120 km/h, and can thus also meet practically every requirement associated with long-distance driving. As is the case with the Mercedes-Benz S 400 HYBRID introduced in the summer of 2009 and the Vision S 500 Plug-in HYBRID, the powerful electric module with an output of around 80 kW (109 hp) in the F 800 Style is integrated in the housing of the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission. The lithium-ion battery in the new research vehicle is located underneath the rear seat bench, where it takes up little space, creates a low centre of gravity and ensures maximum safety in the event of a crash.
The F 800 Style with electric drive based on fuel-cell technology also offers high levels of driving pleasure and handling dynamics. The vehicle's electric motor develops around 100 kW (136 hp) and has an impressive torque of around 290 Nm. The fuel cell generates the traction current by chemically reacting hydrogen with oxygen on board the vehicle, producing water vapour as the only emission in the process.
The components of the fuel-cell drive are taken from the E-Drive modular system, which Mercedes-Benz has developed for a variety of different electric vehicles. These components, which are already being installed in the limited-edition B-Class F-CELL, can be flexibly used and are suitable for a variety of different drive configurations. The F 800 Style is an example of this, as it uses rear-wheel drive, in contrast to the B-Class F-CELL. The same components are also installed in commercial vehicles, with developments here being spearheaded by the new Citaro fuel-cell bus, which is equipped with two of the F-CELL systems used in passenger cars.
F 800 Style with further innovations for enhanced comfort and safety. In addition to multi-drive platform that is unmatched for a large sedan and a combination of different alternative drive technologies, the F 800 Style has the features of other technological innovations, such as new control and display concept and human-machine interface (HMI) with a cam touchpad. The screen has additional functions not found in conventional instrument cluster. F 800 Style control model and the concept of display for the first time focused primarily on electric driving functions. Other innovations are the functions of "Range on Map", which shows the radius of the remaining trip possible in electric mode as a 360 ° view on the map. The system provides this function by combining information about the current battery charge level with data from the navigation system. In the new control and display concept, Mercedes-Benz has created solutions that provide unparalleled amount of information based on the clarity of the system model.
