Mercedes, the luxury car company has shown off its creative capabilities at Los Angeles Auto Show this year. Its Formula Zero Sail Racer was presented as a part of the Design Los Angeles automobile Design Challenge at the show and it succeeded in satisfying the demands of the segment- a cool race car for 2025 that doesn’t need re-fuelling to complete a race or would never have collisions.

This bizarre looking concept car runs on electric motors which are powered by the sun and wind. It has solar panels fitted on its body and a wind turbine attached in the front. The sail on the top will provide forward thrust for the car and gives the car the aerodynamics needed for racing. The car also has an inbuilt regenerative breaking system. It sure looks great and sounds even greater.

This zero emission racer will sure be a compliment for the future car races where efficiency would take a front seat kicking the speed away. Mercedes has once again proved that it can make a perfect cocktail of comfort, style and efficiency.
