Not to be outdone by cross-country rival BMW, Mercedes-Benz is said to be working on an eco-friendly supercar of its own.BMW green lighted a production version of its Vision EfficientDynamics concept earlier this year.
According to Autocar, Mercedes’ green supercar will closely mirror the Biome concept that was penned at the automaker’s California design studio. The Biome was a low-slung, futuristic coupe designed for the Los Angeles Design Challenge. Hit the read more link for more details.
“There are elements within the design that could easily be progressed and developed for production. We were conscious during its development to ensure it wasn’t too limited or edgy. It had to be do-able without any significant changes,” said Hubert Lee, head of Mercedes’ California design studio.
Although the Biome concept car had a fictional drivetrain, the production version would use Mercedes’ latest green tech, most likely a diesel-electric hybrid system. If the Biome does get the production nod, expect it in showrooms by mid-decade.
