136-horsepower Mercedes-Benz? What if it were powered by hydrogen fuel cells? Are you so committed to green-car technology that, besides the six-figure price tag, you would put up with zero-to-60 mile-per-hour times of more than 11 seconds?
Well, that is sort of the value proposition behind the Mercedes F 800 Style “research vehicle” that the German automaker is planning to unveil at the Geneva auto show, which opens to the news media on March 2.
Because the F 800 is a concept car — and 13th in a line of what Mercedes calls “research vehicles,” introduced since 1981 — it is likely to change by the time anything remotely like it makes its way to production, which would be at least three years from now.
