Mercedes Benz F700: a New Concept Car Planned for IAA
Channel 4 reports that Mercedes-Benz is going to unveil a concept car called F700, a form of luxury car at this year IAA (Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung) in Frankfurt, Germany.

The F700 will showcase Mercedes’ innovative DiesOtto engine, a turbocharged 1.8-litre, four-cylinder unit that combines diesel-style automatic ignition with a conventional petrol spark plug system on start-up and under heavy accelerative demands. This engine is capable of a 235bhp output, but with near-40mpg fuel economy.

If we still remember, at the last Tokyo Motor Show, a car named F600 Hygenius (on the picture above) was presented, a fuel-cell concept. Well, we think this F700 won’t be any different; it also showcases the latest Mercedes engine technology.

Mercedes also has said that the DiesOtto engine is suitable for use in the S-Class, so it’s a fair bet that this F700 is a preview of the next-generation luxury saloon. The company is set to unveil no fewer than 18 new models and concepts at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month; these will include the new C-Class estate, models with the new Bluetec diesel engines, and both diesel- and petrol-electric hybrids.

Lexus should open a case against them, for using 'F', as in IS-'F'.

Lexus has used the "F" since their inception in the '80s. The first-ever LS was code-named the "F1 project." Sure the comment was silly, but if you must argue against it, let's know the facts.

BMW should sue all of them because their next platform for their cars will be called 'F'...

That's one sweet engine tech if they decide to make it affordable to us mere mortals who refuse to pay $50K for a tin can.
