Mercedes-Benz Biome

Introduction
The Mercedes-Benz Biome is an electric concept car that appears in the Asphalt series.

Overview
The Mercedes-Benz Biome is an electric concept car created by Mercedes-Benz in 2010. This car is special in that it is grown in a lab rather than at a factory line.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The Mercedes-Benz Biome is the only electric car not part of the original 47 cars. Added in the Dubai update, the Mercedes-Benz Biome is one of three electric cars by Mercedes-Benz, with the others being the SLS AMG Electric Drive and Silver Lightning.

The Mercedes-Benz Biome starts with a rank of 1192 and has a maximum rank of 1486 (between the Ferrari 458 Italia's 1484 and Ferrari 599XX's 1490). If a Tuning Kit is applied, the Mercedes-Benz Biome gets a rank of 1554, effectively making it the most powerful Class B car in the game, even more than the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMG and Maserati MC12 (although both cars have higher max ranks than the Biome without a Tuning Kit).

The Biome has the best handling stat in the game, even smoother than that of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA, and Peugeot Onyx. In fact, the Biome can traverse through any track without drifting! Its top speed is low at first, but when maxed out, becomes very high. Surprisingly, even if it has a very weak nitro boost, it is actually very nitro-efficient, thanks to its acceleration. Overall, the Mercedes-Benz Biome is the most useful and best Class B car in the game, as it is always seen in the top 100 spots of the leaderboards of time-limited events that involve Class B cars.

At 450,000 Credits (same as the Ferrari FF from Class A), the Biome is the second most expensive Class B car in the game (and the most expensive Mercedes-Benz vehicle in the game, excluding the Premium car Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupé Final Edition), behind the Mazda Furai's 500,000. The Biome also costs 1,276,425 Credits to max out.

Trivia

 * At the beginning of a race, if Biomes are the only cars involved, the pre-race engine sounds will be very faint. However, Biomes still have the same in-game AI engine sound as all other electric cars.
 * Like with the Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning, the Mercedes-Benz Biome does not have a license plate.
 * In geography, biomes, often referred to as an ecosystem, are climatically and geographically defined as contiguous areas with similar climatic conditions on the Earth, including communities of plants, animals, or soil organisms.
