The Mercedes-Benz
F700 is a concept car produced by Mercedes-Benz in
2007. It was first revealed to the public at the 2007 Frankfurt motor show.
The concept 4-cylinder engine displaces
1.8-litres, and features twin sequential turbochargers, generating 177 kW
and 400Nm at unspecified engine speeds
PRE-SCAN suspension was an upgrade of Active Body Control. Using
PRE-SCAN suspension, the car not only reacts highly sensitively to uneven
patches of road surface, but also acts in an anticipatory manner. PRE-SCAN uses
two laser sensors in the headlamps as “eyes” that produce a precise
picture of the road’s condition. From this data, the control unit computes
the´parameters for the active suspension settings in order to provide the
highest level of comfort.
PRE-SCAN was an early prototype of Magic Body Control (with
Road Surface Scan), that was introduced in 2013 on the Mercedes-Benz
S-Class (W222).
The series version uses visual light twin optical stereo
cameras instead of laser.
