Mercedes-Benz F200

Automobiles

The Mercedes-Benz F200 Imagination was a two-door coupe concept study that Daimler-Benz unveiled at the 1996 Paris Motor Show to show innovations in control, design and comfort. Its exterior, partly based on the then upcoming S-Class and previewing the CL-Class coupe of 1999, came from the Mercedes advanced design team, mainly Christopher Rhoades and Harald Leschke, and the Italian coachbuilder Stola built it as a fully functional car. The interior drew on the PlayStation console and an Airbus cabin. Its best known feature was drive-by-wire Sidesticks in place of steering wheel and pedals, toggled between driver and passenger, alongside cameras instead of mirrors, Active Body Control suspension and a magnetic card to open the dihedral doors.
