Mercedes-Benz will be unveiling a concept large luxury sedan at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show next month called the Mercedes Benz F700 concept. Unlike most of Mercedes-Benz’s previous F-class concept cars, the powerplant in this one is a little more conventional but still represents a leap in internal combustion engine technology.
No, the number 700 in it’s name does not denote a 7.0 litre engine of some sort. Instead, the Mercedes-Benz F700 will be powered by the recently announced 1.8 litre DiesOtto engine, capable of power outputs of 238 horsepower and 400Nm of torque, yet using less than 6 litres of fuel per 100km in an S-Class!
The F700 could also give us a glimpse of what Mercedes has in plan for us for the next generation S-Class in terms of styling. Expect something similiar to the Concept Ocean Drive. More details on the DiesOtto in a separate previous post.

Doesn’t really matter how much output the nice new engine gets…..
Your regular big benz owner is used to saying just how big his engine is. Having the engine as big as a Harley’s isn’t exaclty what Mercedes is after for. Dont roll off the tongue as it shoud compared to the bigger cc’ed sisters.
