2015 Frankfurt Motor Show: Mercedes Unveils IAA Concept

MANILA: Mercedes finally revealed its curvy four-door coupe concept at the Frankfurt motor show which has been rated top in the aerodynamics feature. The IAA concept is Merc's technically futuristic that holds ultra-modern design and features. The reports reveal that this concept is the car of the generation as it offers amazing dynamic exterior design. Although, the company has no intentions to make it to future road cars but Mercedes has tried to show a glimpse of its future car designs.

The design engineering for the Concept IAA is based on "world-beating aerodynamics". It comes with a super-slippery Cd value of 0.19 along with active aero technology. The electrically extended front and rear flaps help in boosting concept's length by 390 mm. Under the hood lies a 274 bhp petrol-electric plug-in power train that efficiently propels it to a top speed of 155 mph. In the most efficient mode, the CO2 emissions are claimed to be just 28 g/km with a 20 mile all-electric range.

The interior comes with a simple white colour theme. The dashboard is equipped with gesture control pads that allows the driver to control in-car functions by simply putting their finger above the pad. The company claims that the cabin design is a preview for its near-future cars.

According to Dr. Thomas Weber, Mercedes' head of R&D, the Concept IAA uses intelligent innovations and advanced technology to boost its performance and aesthetics. It also offers plenty of ideas that can be implemented on further improvements in efficiency and power.
