The Mercedes-Benz F700 is a concept car produced by Mercedes-Benz in 2007. It was first revealed to the public at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.[1]
The F 700 used the newly developed DiesOtto engine. It is a twin turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1.8 liters, direct injection, variable compression, and an output of 175 kW (235 hp) and 400 N⋅m (295 lb⋅ft). The F 700 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.6 seconds.[2] The top speed was limited to 200 km/h (124 mph).
The most important element of the new DiesOtto technology is the spatial ignition combustion at partial load. This is a very efficient combustion process, similar to that of a diesel engine, and is particularly advantageous at low and medium speeds. The air-fuel mixture ignites on its own. The F 700 starts like a conventional gasoline engine using a spark plug, which is also used under high loads. Exhaust gas purification is carried out by a standard three-way catalytic converter. The electric motor in the F 700 offers advantages, especially in urban driving, and provides an additional 15 kW for acceleration.
Chassis
Another new invention called Pre-Scan is used for the first time in the F 700. Two lidar laser scanners integrated into the headlights scan the road ahead of the vehicle and detect irregularities. The active suspension system, ABC (Active Body Control), processes the information from the road irregularities to enhance driving comfort. It was introduced in production under the name Magic Body Control in 2013 in the Mercedes-Benz Type 222.
