The Mercedes F-400 was a dramatic concept from 2001. The
F-400 carries the name 'carving' because its outer two
wheels lean into the corner in a similar manner to skiiers
carving their outside ski inward to improve cornering
stability.
In testing, this unique ability proved to increase cornering
force, although the technology is yet to find its place
in the production market.
The F-400's design influence came from aircraft. The partially
exposed wheels look more natural in the arches during
cornering.
