“The hypercar is the most ambitious project we have every undertaken. It marks yet another pinnacle of the successful, strategic development of Mercedes-AMG towards a performance and sports car brand. Project ONE raises the bar in terms of what is currently technologically feasible and thanks to its combination of efficiency and performance it represents an absolute benchmark. At the same time, Project ONE provides an outlook on how AMG will define driving performance in the future.”
– Tobias Moers, Head of Management at Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
Mercedes-AMG Project ONE Show Car
The Mercedes-AMG Project One hypercar features four electric motors and a Formula One-based engine. This hybrid technology offers impressively-high performance, including over 1,000 horsepower and a top-speed of over 217 mph. The plug-in hybrid powertrain is the result of Formula 1 technology and coordination with Mercedes-AMG High-Performance Powertrains in Brixworth. The combination of the 1.6-liter V6 hybrid gasoline engine with direct injection and the four electronic motors reduces lag time between turbo response and optimizes engine efficiency, making the engine’s response time faster than a V8. The electric turbocharger is also able to store excess energy from the exhaust system and either provides additional power or works to store more energy within the lithium-ion battery. The Project One also features a new all-wheel-drive system that provides increased performance due to an electrically-driven front axle.
The Mercedes-AMG Project ONE is a high-tech and innovative performance machine that brings legendary Formula 1 performance to the everyday road. Read more about the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE on their website.
