This concept has been on these forums more times than the word 'rust' :)

Its called the F200

Its a concept car from 07 I believe

11 years earlier 1996!

Its a concept/prototype leading to the old shape CL class (W215).

You can see some of the styling used later on for the CL:

It is a concept leading to the W220 S-class!

Yes folks, that's how old this is. In fact I have some pics and commentary from a concept cars book I bought from a supermarket for £5 when I was a student about 10 years ago.
 
In picture 2, Rev counter says 4800RPM and speedo says 120 MPH.

What was the driver thinking?? Taking a picture from there!!:eek:

Are you sure? its a 2door large coupe, and the plate says CL600 ;) :D


Strange how the alloys never caught on...

Yes, you might recognise the grill and headlamps, among other things. Back when this concept came out the W140 was still king!

Concept cars are created to show where the marque's styling will be going for the next few years, bits and pieces from that car were used in everything :)
 
This is the one from 2007, its based on a Boxfish. meant be the most aerodynamic shape there is:

It's meant to be the most "aquadynamic" shape. If we all drove cars under water then this would make perfect sense! :)

Drag of 0.6, lets hope that the next generation do not start looking like this :crazy:
