Project One details revealed. 1.6l V6, four electric motors
-
MERCEDES-AMG’s F1-engined hypercar, code named Project One, will use a plug-in hybrid powertrain and develop upwards of 986bhp (1,000hp) from a 1.6litre V6 engine and four electric motors, the German manufacturer has announced.
It’s the first time in history an engine from a contemporary Formula One car has appeared in a production vehicle. The debut of Project One is scheduled for the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, while first customers will take delivery in 2019. Our exclusive main image shows what they can expect.
Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG, told Auto Express at the recent Nürburgring 24 Hour race, where Project One’s hi-tech powertrain was unveiled, that this would be “the most sophisticated car of its type”.
The McLaren P1 rival takes downsizing to new levels, as it features a 1.6-litre V6 turbo – built at the brand’s High Performance Powertrain centre in Brixworth, Northants – and has very similar specifications to the one used in Mercedes-AMG’s current WO8 F1 car.
