Mercedes-AMG Project One Photos and Info News Car and Driver

Pretty amazing to see what they're doing with F1 tech and engine for the street. Can't say it looks as crazy as I'd anticipated (compared to Adrian Newey's Aston Martin hypercar, for instance) but pretty wild nonetheless. It will be a tiny car, though, based on how the interior is laid out - very low to the ground, for sure.

That interior, though! Very F1-esque seating position is wild, incorporating the seats into the floor to get you lower to the ground.

Cliff notes:

F1-inspired engine (same size, less racy trim)
Integrated electric motor to the rear wheels
Two independent front electric motors (a la NSX) with torque vectoring
15 mile electric-only range
20in wheels (a la Civic Type R - ha - just a joke!)
0-127 mph (0-200 kph) in 6.0s

Body looks nice. Although without a close look I might mistake it for a 918 at certain angles.

Isn't this its drivetrain layout? Nifty suspension layout - looks like its set up to compensate for significant downforce.

Sick car.

Pretty badass, but I guess I'm old fashioned (at the ripe old age of 37?) lol, because the drivetrain does close to nothing for me. Bunch of electric motors and one of the worst sounding F1 engines in history...meh.

Gimme a McLaren F1.

I'd take that crazy Aston over the Mercedes.

Yeah, all the tech is *very* impressive, but it doesn't pull at my heartstrings - maybe that will change when I hear it at 11k rpm in street tune. Until then, I'd very much prefer a big V12 like in the McLaren F1 or LaFerrari.

It'll be unbelievably fast though, I'm sure.

Looks like a Mosler.

Which one? Project One or Valkyrie?



Both are wicked and doing similar things, but in a different way. Probably a few owners will have both.

Valkyrie all the way. It's way more expensive, I believe, but V12 vs tiny V6? Not even a contest, for sound or otherwise! The Valkyrie looks way crazier as well.
