These images of a futuristic “new Mercedes-Benz SCL600” automobile – including technical innovations such as a joystick in place of a steering wheel, a video monitor in place of a rear-view mirror, and swiveling gull-wing doors – are difficult to classify as “true” or “false”. They are genuine photographs of a real car, but that car was constructed as a research vehicle, not as something to be made available for purchase by consumers, and isn’t really “new” … it was introduced over ten years ago. The above-displayed photos are pictures of DaimlerChrysler’s F 200 Imagination concept study, produced by the Mercedes-Benz design team and unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1996 … DaimlerChrysler has continued experimenting along these lines with the three-wheeled F 300 Life-Jet, the F400 Carving two-seater, and the F500 Mind four-door sedan.

I could drive this car capably within minutes. I had handicap controls installed on a buick once and within minutes was accelerating and braking as smoothly as ever with a single left-hand control. It would be easy to adapt to this car.

It definitely is going to be easy to adopt this one but buying this one?? i am not sure about that. Great model however. Merc proves it to BMW and Audis, that it still is a leader in terms of technology and innovation.
