Mercedes-Benz Trainees “Build” A Car: The F-Cell Roadster

The Mercedes-Benz F-Cell Roadster is the result of wild imaginations and the technical expertise of over 150 trainees and dual education students.  Taking over a year to conceptualize and build, Mercedes-Benz says that this fuel cell powered roadster project focused on integrating alternative alternative propulsion systems with hands on experience.

The F-Cell Roadster is an allusion to the 1886 Benz Patent Motor Car, and is powered by a 1.2Kw fuel cell system at the rear.  Mercedes-Benz says that the roadster has a top speed of 25km/h and a range of 350km.

The media brief says that this car was built and it exists, however these images look more like highly detailed renderings than actual studio shots.  I guess we’ll see if the F-Cell Roadster really exists at an upcoming motor show.
