Codenamed ‘ProjectOne’, the new Mercedes-AMG Hypercar is estimated to cost around 2.275 million euros plus taxes and will be seen at Frankfurt Motor Show this year prior to its 2018 release. With a 1000 bhp power with the likes of Mercedes’ F1 cars, this four-wheel-drive only competes with brands such as Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder etc. The hypercar will use the AMG Torque Dynamics technology, supported by an electrically driven frdont axle and will have a range of 30km electric. AMG boss Moers says that they will produce only 275 units, and he further adds, “Beyond that, we expect to develop a special program to support owners, but using the car will not be as complicated as many prospective customers seem to expect. Because of the F1 technology in the car, people are asking me “will I need a support crew or dedicated fuel to run it,” – and my answer is always no. This will be a street car. You keep it plugged in in the garage. You fill it with ’98’ when you buy fuel. That’s it.”
