Astonishing Car
The Mercedes Bionic Car equipped with a diesel engine with BLUETEC technology, the Mercedes Bionic Car has a power output of 140 hp. The lightweight concept derived from nature, the car features a clean and economical high-tech diesel engine with BLUETEC technology, which plays a major part in cutting fuel consumption and reducing emissions by a substantial margin, the Mercedes Benz bionic car consumes just 4.3 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers making it 20 percent more economical than a comparable production model. The figure comes in at around 70 miles per gallon 30 percent better than a standard production car. When driving at a constant speed of 90 km/h, the direct injection model consumes a 2.8 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers equivalent to 84 miles per gallon. Despite its unusual-looking shape, the fish is extremely aerodynamic and can therefore move using a minimal amount of energy. It is also able to withstand high pressures and, thanks to an outer skin consisting of hexagonal bone plates, can survive unscathed following collisions with corals or other sea dwellers. In free flow, its body has an outstandingly low cd value of 0.06. These characteristics are also ideal ingredients for a car designed to achieve the best possible levels of energy efficiency and passenger safety. The result is a two-door vehicle with four comfortable, individual seats and a drop shaped design that is 4.24 meters long, 1.82 meters wide and 1.59 meters high. The bone plate skeleton of the boxfish demonstrates how nature is able to achieve maximum strength with a lightweight design. this honeycomb design method increases stiffness by up to 40 percent, while the weight is reduced by around 30 percent, based on calculations using the SKO method. The SKO method has since been used for producing components such as the engine support arms that are fitted on some rural service buses.
