Video: Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION

Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION


Here's a video preview of the Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION concept car that is set to make its debut at the Paris Motor Show next month. Despite the lack of anything revolutionary in this video presentation, you do get a close up look on the styling cues which are tipped to find its way onto the next generation E-class medium-sized saloon.




Gone are the oval headlights which have been synonymous with the E-class over the previous two generations with replacements of a more angular variety; a dynamic front grille and a heavily contoured bonnet.

The ConceptFASCINATION design study is powered by a four-cylinder diesel engine which features BlueTEC and AdBlue technology and develops 150 kW (204 hp) from a displacement of 2.2-litres.

The Paris Motor Show 2008 commences on October 4.

"Does a car roof really have to rest on pillars and be bordered by windows? Do all functions have to be visible at all times, even when they are not needed? How many personalization options does my car offer? Are there any possible alternatives to the rigid body shell made of steel or plastic?"

These were the questions BMW designers asked themselves when approaching the various design elements of the BMW GINA. As you can see from this video, every single one of these questions were resolutely answered.
