Going Green Is Seriously Seductive In the Mercedes F 800

Mercedes F 800

Mercedes-Benz, like everyone else on the planet, is experimenting with plug-in hybrids. But it’s still betting heavily on hydrogen. Now it’s combined the two in a head-turning high-end “multi-drive” concept car that can run on batteries or a fuel cell.

The F 800 Style builds upon the technology underpinning the S 400 Hybrid and the B-Class F-Cell and wraps it in seriously seductive bodywork. This baby has some go to back up the show, too, provided you stick with the 409-horsepower plug-in hybrid version. Choose the hydrogen fuel cell model and you’re limited to 136 horsepower, which is criminally low in a luxury sedan. At least you can admire its stunning good looks as it creeps by.
