Mercedes-AMG Project One Will Reportedly Have 1006bhp To Play With
As time goes on we’re getting a much clearer picture of what the Mercedes-AMG Project One hypercar will be like. We know it’ll have an F1-derived, 1.6-litre V6 hybrid powertrain, and we know its price tag will be comfortably in seven figure territory.
Mercedes itself has previously said the hybrid system will produce “more than 1000hp [987bhp]” combined, but now we know exactly how much more. 20hp - according to a report in Automobile Magazine - bringing the total to 1020hp, or 1006bhp.
So the answer is not much more, but hey, that’s still a monstrous output. And given that - despite all the bulky hybrid gubbins it’ll be carrying - it’s reported to weigh only 1300kg or so, it should be monstrously fast.
The car will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Hai i’m the first person to see dis
am I the only one who thinks the picture is a metallic mustache
just me, ok
1.3k kg with 1000+ HP?! My god. I’m out of words.
They should power a Smart with one of those drivetrains
If McLaren are desperate for something better than Honda they should sign a good deal with Mercedes in September and use 2 of these for the rest of the season
A Mercedes that is actually light? Wow the world is gonna end
Mercedes-OMG
Also seen that the engine is expected to need an overhaul every 30k….. so that means a rotary is more reliable :-P
CLK GTR tribute?
