Both the Mercedes Benz and BMW continue to compete for the first place among the luxury automakers in the world. Mercedes has received the better of the two in the first month of the New Year. The 2012 Mercedes Benz C-Class has successfully helped the manufacturer rake up its sales.

It beated BMW and came second to Volkswagen in sales for the New Year. The best selling models of Volkswagen-the Jetta and Passat helped the manufacturer sell about 27,209 vehicles in the previous month. This came Volkswagen that is better known as the “people’s car brand” it’s best January ever since President Nixon was in office.

The M-Class series of the Mercedes Benz recorded a sales figure of 4002 units sold that is an increase of 6.1% over the number that was sold last year. The Bluetec diesel series of the car still continues to sell well and it recorded a sales figure of 1327 car models sold in the previous month. This meant a 62% increase from January 2011. The manufacturers of the Mercedes Benz did have a disappointment with the poor sales turn out of its pseudo minivan series-R Class as the sales figure was down by 44% compared to last year.

The body range and the chassis of this new car have been made with a mixed technique that deploys plastics, carbon fiber and aluminum.

This car is one that has a unique design of the future and it has incorporated many of the technological aspects that you would normally associate with a luxury sports car of the future 2020. The design of the car is an edge cutting one and it sports computer aids to help the driver navigate!

The designers of the car have made an attempt to blend two generations into the future. The car emits zero emissions and is an electric driven one. This car is expected to deploy a lithium sulfur battery to enhance energy density. It is anticipated that this battery chemistry is going to debut in this decade in small applications like power-tools. This has been stated by Michael Weber, the director of research and development of the parent company of Daimler AG. The manufacturers of the car have kept in mind the futuristic needs of car lovers and this is why the Mercedes Benz F-125 sports a sleek light-weight design. The car has enhanced acceleration and it has new and improved technology. It also has a brand new Kevlar material that has the capacity to store hydrogen in its body cavities enhancing the onboard hydrogen range and capacity.

According to Thomas Weber, the director of R&D at Daimler AG, the parent company at Mercedes, one gets the idea that the new Mercedes F125 tends to address grave concerns that also includes the Mercedes Benz S class lineups.

Generally as put by Weber, concept cars tend to dwell a generation ahead into the future. This concept car is an attempt to look closely at two generations in the future. So there is attempting to look into the future with an average of about 7 years between primary model updates. This means that the concept is targeted towards the middle of 2020. It is anticipated that in 2025 the corporate fuel economy requirement of CAFÉ in USA may go up to 54.5 mpg.

In order to address the mobility needs of the future Weber has suggested that in order to address the strict needs of the future Daimler has decided on the electric drive that is an integral part of their plan. In case, this zero emission mobility is required the brand may need to change to electric mobility.

Since there are requirements of an electric drive and other long range solutions there is a fuel cell system in the concept car. This can be used to drive all the four electric motors singly at each wheel. Daimler has made the F125 concept car a hybrid to produce handling and performance of the present S class which has particular quick starts and acceleration at the same time.

The concept car is being displayed at the Johannesburg Motor Show which will end on October 16. This car model posses a more aggressive stance than the prior models by this company. The trend for the compact cars is expected to grow in the near future. The company is expecting that in the couple of years the market will be able to see more than 7.7-million compact vehicles.

The front end of the concept A-Class has the look that is being appreciated by all. The logo of the company on the car model is surrounded by a starry sky. The radiator grille of the car features silver dots on black stems. The car’s headlamp boasts of having many lighting points.

The interior of the concept is much talked about because of its jet like features. The dashboard has the appearance of an aircraft wing whereas the air vents in the dashboard looks quite like a jet aircraft engine. The concept car’s central control unit also resembles a modern flight panel.

The concept A-Class runs on four-cylinder petrol engine that ahs been turbocharged and the car features a radar-based collision warning system to reduce the possibility of rear-end collisions.

This car manufactured by a top German car manufacturer runs on a two-liter, four-cylinder petrol engine. The car is showing great potential both in terms of looks and functionality. According to the company the idea was to design a car for transverse installation that can provide high performance potential.

The F125 suggest the car to be one of the models that can be made in the year 2025, when the year actually comes then the car will become an eccentric flight of fancy. The design of the concept car is sleek, sensuous and desirable that it will make the driver want a car like this for him self. The vehicle is said to posit will be capable of ranging a 1000 kilometers or more between fill ups of hydrogen which would pump up through the fuel cells so that they can propel the car faster. The car is not fuel efficient in that sense but it does save you some money.

The materials which are used to are quite light and are made from carbon fiber, aluminum, advanced plastics and rare earth elements that it will seem that the car will gracefully fly. The materials are non-polluting and thus do not create any pollution to the earth. The things that are used are quite inexpensive except the rare elements. You will get the car not very soon as it is has been conducted in to bulk production yet. The users will get the car in some time in the beginning of the next year or the end of this year.

The car has attractive features which can be seen and observed in the official website of the Merc makers. They feel that this particular concept car will rage the market in the years to come.

Marco Sweston of Munich University of Applied Sciences is currently working on a unique concept vehicle that is being inspired by the Mercedes Benz W25. This project is being dubbed as the Touch Effect project and its results are going to be a racing car targeted for the future.

This vehicle is going to sport a main body that is light along with a carbon frame. This carbon frame will render ruggedness to the car and from it the vehicle will get total stability. The vehicle also has other core muscles that have been designed with flexible synthetics which in turn can be deformed by using voltage differences. These parts have been covered with acrylic glass on the surface and it gives the onlooker a feel of merging the parts into a single one.

In order to convey a light weight impression the hull of the car has been kept unveiled a bit. This vehicle in addition to the designing parts also has features that boost of an automatic ground clearance along with a four-wheel steering. This car is likely to take shape in the year 2030 as visualized by Marko Swenson.

The car will be available on rent on the Internet and driving skills can be polished with the aid of experienced staff who will train you. There are safety guards in the vehicle that will prevent the car from crashing or getting off track the course. This project has attracted the attention of major car lovers and it is anticipated that the vehicle will be launched before time!
