The Mercedes-Benz Formula Zero is a race car concept designed
for 2025. The Formula Zero was created for the 2008 LA
Auto Show Design Challenge.
The Formula Zero Racer incorporates the thrill of Formula
One, the track dynamics of the bobsled or luge, and the
grace and efficiency of yacht racing.
Reminiscent of the Mercedes Benz racing heritage of the
1930's, the Mercedes Formula Zero Racer concept is loaded
with technology designed to extract the maximum thrust
from the electric hub motors, aero-efficient solar skin
and high-tech rigid sail.
Each team is allocated the same amount of stored energy
and it is left to the teams and drivers to manage the
variables to win the race. The winner is determined by
total elapsed time combined with the energy efficiency
factor.
Spectators at the Mercedes Benz Formula Zero racing Series
would be treated to a new dimension of racing as the transparent
track is visible from all perspectives - even from below!
