• The official design sketches and photos from the clay modeling and prototype construction processes of the F700 Concept, unveiled by Mercedes at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.

• The styling of the F700 took shape in the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studio in Irvine, California.

• The basic form of the F 700 is inspired by nature.

• “The research cars might be called the free program of the Design unit." says Professor Peter Pfeiffer, Senior Vice President Design, Mercedes Car Group.

• "The impact of formal elements can be tested in them without having a direct bearing on a coming production vehicle.”

Below are official image galleries from the design sketching phases, and clay model construction.
