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.
