Photo Gallery «The car of tomorrow? Mercedes-Benz Auto 2000 (in the historical report)»
"The future of large saloons is assured." To prove this, in 1981 Mercedes-Benz built a car of the future for the year 2000, which could be equipped with three different drive concepts - gasoline, diesel engine and gas turbine. A great deal of safety, comfort and aerodynamics know-how was integrated into the research car, but it is still surprising how Daimler engineers envisioned the future of the car, although some aspects did find their way into series production. This article reproduces the original wording of the presentation by Wolfgang König in the magazine Auto Motor und Sport from back then and shows the research car in many historical and current pictures.
