Mercedes-benz F300 Life Jet

['lio]

I like the ideas behind the Mercedes-Benz F300 Life Jet concept reverse trike, although an Elio seems much more practical, because the tilting technology is likely expensive to produce as well as to maintain. Being able to remove the top is nice too, but wasting the trunk space on the hard top does not seem convenient at all. Other than that, driving this three-wheeler seems like a lot of fun, see the video below.

Too bad that Mercedes only built prototypes of the F300.

The concept car was first introduced in 1997, I am not sure if the video was made at that time, though from the looks it;s plausible. Here is an article from 2005: Mercedes-Benz F 300 Life-Jet: the three-wheeled driving machine

thanks for your quick response.

What is a really great idea in the Mercedes F300: the driver and passenger doors are on opposite sides, which means that the rear (passenger) door is a decent size.
