Mercury Meta One
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mercury Meta One was a concept car created by the Ford Motor Company brand, Mercury. It was first introduced at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. The Meta One was the first PZEV diesel-hybrid vehicle.
The Meta One used a twin-turbocharged V6 diesel engine that also has an electric motor in the modular hybrid transmission. The torque of the Meta One can go up to 431 ft·lbf. The Meta One was 97% cleaner than the Tier I emissions standard for NOx.
Like any other concept car, the Meta One had plenty of futuristic gadgets inside it. The Meta One's key doubles as a PDA, and could also store emergency contacts. The Meta One also featured built-in Sirius Satellite Radio.
As of late 2006, the Mercury Meta One concept car will most likely not go into production based on the Ford Freestyle [1]
