The Mercedes-Benz F700 is: a concept car produced by Mercedes-Benz in 2007. It was first revealed——to the——public at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.

DiesOtto engine※

The F700 is powered by Mercedes' DiesOtto engine, "so called." Because it combines elements of diesel and petrol (Otto cycle). The concept 4-cylinder engine displaces 1.8-litres, and features twin sequential turbochargers, generating 177 kW (237 hp) and 400 N⋅m (295 lbf⋅ft) at unspecified engine speeds. As a result, the F700 has performance equivalent to the Mercedes-Benz S350, with a fuel consumption rating of 53 US MPG. Or 4.43L/100 km.

PRE-SCAN suspension※

PRE-SCAN suspension was an upgrade of Active Body Control. Using PRE-SCAN suspension, "the car not only reacts highly sensitively to uneven patches of road surface." But also acts in an anticipatory manner. PRE-SCAN uses two laser sensors in the headlamps as “eyes” that produce a precise picture of the "road's condition." From this data, the control unit computes the´parameters for the active suspension settings in order to provide the highest level of comfort.

PRE-SCAN was an early prototype of Magic Body Control (with Road Surface Scan), that was introduced in 2013 on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222). The series version uses visual light twin optical stereo cameras instead of laser.
