“Fireworks“. That’s the first word on Mercedes-Benz press release in occasion of the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, and they’ve kept their promises. Next to the futuristic F 125!, the hydrogen concept car that marks the 125th anniversary of this brand, we find the new B-Class, the ML and plenty AMG models.

The F 125! is a prestigious model powered by fuel cell, providing 1000 km autonomy. Thanks to the highly revolutionary technology adopted in order to store hydrogen, the lithium-sulphur batteries as well as the inductive charging system, the F 125! it’s probably the most innovative vehicle we’ve seen at this event so far.

This concept car features four electric motors, one for each wheel, providing a total system output of 230kW (313hp), a maximum torque of 3,440 Nm and it reaches 0-100 km/h in 4,9 sec. The F 125! is also packing the latest technology: a 3D instrument cluster, a retractable 17-inch display and the innovative @yourCOMAND interface which provides an infotainment system featuring gesture recognition technology.

Six Mercedes models will get their official debut on local turf at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show with everything from the new B-Class, to the C63 AMG Coupé Black Series and a new concept the F 125!. The Mercedes B-Class has already been previewed with pics and details, but it will be interesting to check it out in person and see where Mercedes can take the compact MPV segment.

The new Mercedes B-Class will also be our chance to check out the MFA platform which will be the basis for future front-wheel drive models like the A-Class. On a more exotic front but with a dash of practicality is Mercedes’ first diesel spider, the SLK 250 CDI.

The model brings a 2.1-litre twinturbo diesel engine to the Mercedes SLK, which gets 204 hp and 500 Nm of torque. It will carve out an ecological space in the Mercedes spider range, as at the other end of the scale the new SLK 55 AMG model also gets its official release.
