Retro roadster goes back to the future
Mercedes-Benz have designed a futuristic hydrogen fuel cell eco-roadster which is oddly retro.A team of 150 trainees spent a year developing the F-CELL Roadster concept - based on the Benz Patent Motorwagen of 1886, but using the latest technology.
It features carbon-fiber seats, joystick controls and a 1.2 kilowatt fuel cell, oh yeah it's also got old-school spoked wheels.
The F-CELL Roadster can also cover 220 mile on a single charge, but with a top speed of 15mph this would not have been a speed demon even in 1886.
"This project impressively demonstrates that the topic of sustainable mobility has become an integral part of our vocational training," said Human Resources Board member and Labor Relations Manager Günther Fleig. "I am delighted to see how much initiative and creativity the young people have put into this project."
