You might like it but that is one damn ugly car

It's called the Mercedes F400-Carving.



Sorry didn't know the pics where that big.

I dunno, if no one pushed the envelope and designed something outrageous once in a while we'd all be driving around in identical boxes. While this car may not be a home run, it's not a total failure.

You got a good point there

Some parts look alright but most of it needs some big work!

Dunno, I really like it. They just need to change the front end headlight layout, it would be one awesome track car. I think it has possibilities.

Actually I've seen this car before, I'm pretty sure.

The suspension is designed to "lean" into corners, providing extraordinarily good traction and balance.

bodypainter

Regardless of how it looks I'll bet it's fun to drive!

Halx

concept-wise, it's fun
functionality-wise, it's a disaster.

Boo

But would it get you laid?

It looks like the boys at Chrysler are starting to convince Mercedes that bulding concept cars is fun.

I hope that is all that rubs off on Mercedes.

Also, about the wheels. I believe all new Meredes-Benz cars have front wheels that lean into the turns. The resulting turning radius is astounding.

but are the tires supposed to pull away from the rim like that?

Carving makes me think of skiing not cars

This car was created especially to test their new suspension. It actively changes camber on each wheel to optimize grip (like a motorcycle leaning into a turn). This allows it to skidpad 1.4 g if I remember right.

Scorps

Oh yes I heard something about that...just first time I have seen it!

shit, if no one else wants it, I'd take it. I bet it's fun as shit to drive and you'll still eat fewer bugs than on a bike. besides, it's a benz convertable, panties are being removed as we speak just because of that.

that's one ugly looking car. Thankfully, its only a concept.

SpikeQX99

Hey, if I had the extra cash just laying around, I'd pick one up. Just for the "what was that" effect of it.

Could be cool, but about eating bugs....

If you had the money to buy that thing I think you could have someone build a windshield for it!

I dunno, it may be ugly, but it looks better than any new benz out there =P I cant stand the new benz styling =/

bodypainter

I was at the dealership a couple weeks ago for service and spent quite a bit of time crawling (and drooling) over a new SL55AMG. At $130K I won't be getting one but I thought it looked terrific.

wrongfullyaccuzd

If it had a windshield, I'd see nothing wrong with it, really. That's actually kind of hot. Sure you can say it has "styling problems" but who is actually going to say that they wouldn't like to be driving around in that, even for a little while?
This is a rhetorical question. Save all of your "I love my STI" or "I love my 350z" or "I love my truck" comments. I know you love your cars. That's not the point.

Kurant

Then you didnt even see the one you'll comotose over! The 604hp SL65. Twin-turbo V12! I'd even take the SL600, it's also a twinturbo v12, but not AMG built.

There is all sorts of new Mercedes crossing the shores over here. The B-class, R-Class, and the 2nd Gen M-class and the NEW G-Class. Most are going to introduced next fall in the Detroit Auto Show. While this car is kinda neat looking in concept, I personally can't wait for the new AMG Built M-class. They didn't say what engine, but it's an N/A V8 supposed to put out 476 HP and 0-60 in 5.7. In an SUV.

Esoteric

I think it looks pretty dope. Would be better with a windshield of course. I'd drive it.

looks interesting.. a good interesting. The angle of the car in the first pic is the most flattering.

hrdwrjnkie

Def. needs a windwheild, but other than that, not too bad. The front headlights would look better if they were more attached to the body, though.

From a design perspective, its just, wrong. Look at the way the highlights blend on the car. Their is no focus to the angular lines that draw the body together, it just results in a lackluster confusion and lack of rigid forum.

Scorps

they need fenders and that was there way of doing it.

I think it looks pretty cool. Bring out a 2drht version and I'd be all over it. At least until I fell over from the price
