Mercedes-Benz wants us to see the future by looking at the past. The F-CELL concept roadster is directly derived from the Benz Patent Motorwagen, the granddaddy of all cars, the one that started it all. This car though, is a mixture of the old and the new. The carbon fiber body with an F1-inspired front nose is powered by a 1.2 kilowatt fuel cell giving a top speed of 25 mph. Inside are carbon fiber seats that are covered in traditional leather. Gone is the steering wheel and replaced with a joystick for fly-by-wire control. The whole package rolls on large spoked bicycle wheels to complete the whole retro look. While this is just a concept, Mercedes engineers believe in the great importance of their past to envision what’s to come for our favorite mode of transportation.
