Mercedes-Benz has been toying with alternative-energy prototype vehicles for awhile now, but we’re fairly certain this little gem is amongst the most bodacious. The obviously conceptual F-CELL Roadster hearkens back to M-B vehicles of old, though the engine is far from retro. Controlled with drive-by-wire technology and utilizing a joystick rather than a conventional steering wheel, this whip is (theoretically, at least) powered by a 1.2kW emission-free fuel cell system located at the rear. We’re told that it could reach an enviable top speed of 15.5mph, and the 217 mile operating range definitely has us salivating. Frankly, this one’s all about the design, and we can’t implore you enough to give the read link a visit for lots more high-res action.

The 2-seat Frost electric car was created by Norsk designed Anders Gloslie as a concept for Th!nk(yeah it is spelled right), an electric car company from his country. The rear includes massive fans for adjusting the temperature of the electric engine and the interior, as well it has sensors that send information about weather conditions to the cockpit’s screens. Seems like the car would be a little low for some of the conditions it might encounter, but it looks sweet!
