Mercedes-Benz talks about the rather odd F-CELL Roadster in this video production which you can watch after the jump. When the F-CELL Roadster was announced near the end of March this year many dismissed it as an April Fool’s gag because of how bizarre it was. It takes retro-futurism to a whole new level, as this is inspired by a model that was way way in the past.
We’re talking about a 1.6 horsepower fuel cell with a top speed of 25km/h, hardly anything that serves modern motoring needs, and we haven’t even gotten around to the lack of a roof yet. If put into production in its current state it could possibly serve as some kind of luxury golf course transportation, or some kind of Segway-like vehicle at most.
Halfway through the video comes the answer – it was actually built by Mercedes-Benz apprentices as some kind of training project for them.
Watch the video after the jump.

namanya kelabu asap setara orangnya!
It's cool old-school like that, I kinda like it. I'd be wearing my top hat, walking stick and my pocket watch riding one of these.
Not sure if it' really an audacious design for the future as it was claimed in the video. More a retro-design that goes back to the 1st patented model by Benz to me. I have faith in the fuel cell technology though, despite some of its drawbacks.
the seats looks cool…
the seat doesnt look comfy enough for a Benz
haha
cheers!
like a F1 car laaaa….
wow, luxury beca. i guess our menteri besar would like to buy one for sightseeing.
