The Mercedes-AMG Hypercar probably the most fascinating two seater that will ever hit the road.

The highly efficient and powerful Formula One World Champion drive train accompanied by a purely electric and wheel selective front axle drive concept is expected to develop a combined system power of more than 1,000 hp (735 kW) - a true Performance Hybrid.

It is a project that sets a spectacular milestone on the way to the future of Mercedes-AMG: The Mercedes-AMG Project ONE.

According to AMG boss Tobias Moers the new Mercedes-AMG hypercar, code named Project One, will be launched at the Frankfurt motor show in fall 2017. 

The car will have an electric range of 25km (15.5 miles) and will be one of the "most fascinating two-seaters to ever hit the road”, said Moers.

The Project One will use the 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine found in the W07 Formula 1 race car, tuned down for the road.

Moers added: "We have to change something for sure. 3500-4000 revs is not that great for the road." Moreover: "The red line is over 10,000 even in the street legal car."

300 versions of this car will be made and each will cost around 2.2 million dollars.
