梅赛德斯-奔驰ESF 05

The Mercedes Benz ESF 05, the second of five experimental safety vehicles, was introduced to the public. Externally, the ESF 05 wore a comically exaggerated energy-absorbing front bumper, which protruded more than 14.5 inches from the car’s grille. Although the rear bumper looks normal than front, it was still more pronounced than that of a production car. Besides of the increase in wheelbase and modifications to the cabin, the car also carried significant structural modifications to front and rear, and combined these changes added a significant 1,463 pounds to the ESF 05.

1971年10月26日，梅赛德斯-奔驰ESF 05首次亮相，该车是五款实验性安全车辆中的第二款。在外观上，ESF 05采用了滑稽夸张的吸能式前保险杠，它从汽车的格栅突出了14.5英寸（0.36米）以上。虽然后保险杠看上去比前保险杠正常一些，但它仍然比量产车的后保险杠更突出。除了轴距的增加和车厢的修改外，该车还对前部和后部进行了重大的结构性修改，这些变化加起来给ESF 05增加了1463（663公斤）磅的重量。
