In 2008 Mercedes-Benz assigned 150 apprentices the task of designing and building a concept car with a mandate to include references to the company’s history and the latest technology. The result, introduced to the public in April 2009, was the F-Cell Roadster. It pays homage to the first gasoline powered, purpose-designed car, the Benz Patented Motorwagen of 1886 with its exposed power plant, spoke wheels, leather and wood. There are also echoes of Mercedes Formula One cars in the body shape and the front suspension. The vehicle was powered by a 1.2 kW hydrogen fuel cell and had a top speed of 25 kph (15.5 mph) and an operating range of 350 km (217 miles.) A joy-stick controls the steer-by-wire system.
Note: This is the third time I’ve made this model: The first was in 2014; the second in 2019. I guess, about every four or five years, I think I’ve learned enough about Blender to do it justice.
