The brainchild of 23-year-old Croatian automotive designer Mate Rimac, the Concept_One backs its sleek design with a cracking spec sheet - 1088 hp, 3,800 Nm of torque, 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds, a top speed of 190 mph (305 km/h) and a 370 mile range (600 km).

Such models are created to highlight cutting edge design or brand new technology. This year Ford unveiled an urban mobility concept that uniquely marries Formula One sensing technology with a two-wheeled pedelec bike.

Although it isn't so ambitious as to attempt to predict what cars will look like in another 125 years, the German automaker has decided to look a little further afield than usual. Previous research vehicles have generally looked ahead one vehicle generation, which is roughly seven to eight years, but with a newly developed hydrogen fuel cell system, gesture controls, and range of 1,000 km (621 miles), Mercedes says the F 125! looks forward more than two generations to the year 2025 and beyond. <a href="/web/20111006091441/http://www.gizmag.com/mercedes-benz-f-125-research-vehicle/19868/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111006091441/http://www.gizmag.com/automotive/" style="float: left; ">AUTOMOTIVE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006091441/http://www.gizmag.com/fiskers-new-surf-the-eco-station-wagon/19839/">Fisker's new Surf - the 'eco station wagon'</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006091441/http://www.gizmag.com/author/jack-martin/">Jack Martin</a></p> <p><em>18:41 September 18, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006091441im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006091441/http://www.gizmag.com/fiskers-new-surf-the-eco-station-wagon/19839/#comments">8 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006091441im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006091441/http://www.gizmag.com/fiskers-new-surf-the-eco-station-wagon/19839/picture/142615/">44 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006091441/http://www.gizmag.com/fiskers-new-surf-the-eco-station-wagon/19839/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006091441im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/fisker-surf.jpg" title="Fisker Surf" alt="Fisker Surf"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Shown for the first time at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006091441/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/frankfurt-motor-show-2011/" target="_blank">IAA in Frankfurt</a> last week, the Fisker Surf is a luxury/sports "shooting brake" or station wagon, built on the same base as the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006091441/http://www.gizmag.com/fisker-karma-luxury-plug-in-hybrid-sports-car/8660/" target="_blank">Fisker Karma</a> (electric drive with gas-engined range extender), though the Ferrari FF look makes it a lot easier on the eye.
