GALLERY – MERCEDES-BENZ F-CELL ROADSTER CONCEPT – 19 PICTURES

Located in the spot you’d expect a steering wheel, the joystick controls the whole car by way of drive-by-wire technology. This is the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell Roadster, a concept put together by “trainees” at Daimler’s Sindelfingen plant. Supposedly capable of 25 km/h, the F-Cell is, as you may have guessed, a fuel cell concept with a power rating of 1.2 kW. Think lawn mower power.

The spoked wheels hark back to Benz’s car of 1886. Spoked wheels can look incredibly cool. With their help, the car has a theoretical operating range of 350 kilometres. Check out all 19 pictures of this techno-beauty below.
