Starting the Monaco F1 weekend with the New Mercedes EQXX. 1,000km range, maximum efficiency. Super impressive to experience record-breaking innovation. Love the sustainable materials like cactus leather used in the interior. Fantastic experience driving the Mercedes EQXX in Monaco ahead of the Monaco F1 race weekend 2022.

Driving the New Mercedes EQXX in Monaco – 1,000km Range! | Nico Rosberg

 
Nico Rosberg kicked off the Monaco Formula 1 weekend checking out a very special concept vehicle. The F1 world champion for 2016 got the very rare chance to ride shotgun in the Mercedes-Benz EQXX, one of the most efficient machines in the history of the automotive industry. Calling this prototype just a show car is a little unfair, though, as it is more of a tech program, as Markus Schäfer, the automaker’s chief technology officer, told us earlier this year.
 
The perfect aerodynamics have a key role in achieving the maximum efficiency in a car and the EQXX has a drag coefficient of just 0.17 thanks to many aerodynamic tricks. It may not be visible from the photos but the vehicle is actually very compact with a length of roughly 182.3 inches (463 centimeters) and a wheelbase of 110.2 inches (280 centimeters). These figures make it slightly smaller than the current C-Class, for example.
 

The video attached above starts with Nico talking about some of the aerodynamic solutions on the EQXX and then he moves to the weight-saving measures. Magnesium alloy wheels, aluminum brakes, and carbon roof – these are just some of the tricks Mercedes used to keep the weight of the electric vehicle low. But most importantly, the biggest weight saving comes from the relatively low weight of the battery – just around 1,091 pounds (495 kilograms) for a 100 kWh battery pack. All in all, the EQXX weighs 3,858 lbs (1,750 kg) or a tad more than a C-Class C300.
 
Nico then moves to some of the interior features of the car and a Mercedes employee informs him he is “not qualified” to drive the EQXX. The F1 champ is obviously very disappointed but the video continues with footage from inside the car where Nico is co-driving with a Mercedes test driver around Monaco. This is where we learn some facts about the EQXX that are probably not widely known, including which components the prototype shares with production electric vehicles from Mercedes and which are exclusive to the EQXX.
