This three-wheeler is often referred to as the Mercedes-Benz F300 LifeJet, and I know for a fact that this is not same the car you have referred to and posted pics of. Maybe the photo you posted has the wrong name?
I'm trying to gather specs on all of the hyper-efficient cars I can find. I want to know Cd, curb weight, engine type/displacement/horsepower, mpg, 0-60 mph acceleration, and top speed, mainly, along with any notable features the car has.

I found the F300 article.AUTOMOBILE MAGAZINE,March,1997,page 10.
The article was by Georg Kacher.
The photo credit is: KPG PHOTOGRAPHY / AUTO BILD.
You might hook up with the magazine online and get directed to Mr.Kacher,or if near a newstand,check for the magazine's address and send them slow mail,Attn: Georg Kacher.
A F200 concept was displayed at the Paris Auto Show.
