The car is easily one of the most luxurious eco-cars around, with its gullwing doors and impeccable Mercedes styling. The Mercedes-Benz F125! is both healthy for the earth and fashionable for style-conscious indivduals. The car is powered by four electric motors mounted in each wheel that kick out a total of 231 horsepower and a 0 to 60 time of 4.9 seconds. An even more amazing stat is that the F125! can reportedly go 621 miles on a full tank of hydrogen. The interior of the Mercedes-Benz F125! has not yet been fully revealed, but small snippets show a futuristic dash display and steering wheel.
