Mercedes F800 embraces sporty and sleek look

The design team at Mercedes have suddenly been inspired to produce something pleasing to the eye.

I was so disappointed by the E-class, however, the F800 has restored my faith in the brand.

After years of what seemed like shift in design thinking across the motor industry with some good and some very bad outcomes, Mercedes has produced a stunning new design language with what looks like flame surfacing and a pointed snout that signals a sporty for new direction the marque.

The vehicle’s front end features a variation of the radiator grille with the centrally placed brand star that is typical of Mercedes sports cars.

The curved radiator grille bars softly flow around the tube holding the Mercedes-Benz brand star.

Along with the wide radiator grille and the generously curved air intake openings, the model’s unique bright LED headlights emphasises the dynamic nature of the research vehicle.

The headlights are divided into individual segments for daytime running lights, turn signal indicators, and primary headlights.

The F 800 Style’s tail lights are also equipped with state-of-the-art LED units that enable an exciting interplay of indirect illumination and direct beams.

The result is an attractive, unmistakable, and memorable visual effect.

On the inside, Mercedes engineers and designers used lots of wood and light to create comfort.

You will feel light headed in this cabin as they have created a sense of lightness with floating armrests.

The seats too have lightweight construction. Mercedes is very clear about what it expects to achieve with this new design language.

With the F 800 Style, it is underscoring their drive to bring together responsibility for the environment with practical customer benefits and automotive fascination.

The new research vehicle combines this leadership role in innovative drive concepts with classic Mercedes strengths in the fields of design, safety, comfort and superb performance.”

The forward thinking that Mercedes is known for is epitomised in this concept and it is as green as ever.
