One of the most interesting concept cars to come out of the LA Auto Show this past weekened is the Mercedes Energ-G-Force.
While it may be big enough to prompt comparisons to a Hummer, it is decidedly "anti-Hummer" in its environmentally conscious design and systems. As one of the jewels of the recent LA Auto Show, it garnered a lot of attention for its hydrogen/electric-based engine. The Ener-G-Force gets its fuel from hydrogen fuel cells with zero emissions.
It's front leaning design makes it appear headstrong and stylish at the same time. The design also gives it a sleek appearance that makes it look about as aerodynamic as an SUV on 20 inch wheels can be.
The vehicle looks and sounds great, but also bases some of its features on the development of technologies currently in their infancy. However, with a scheduled release in 2025, the Mercedes Ener-G-Force still has some time to be developed.
