This Is The Menacing Rear Of The Mercedes-AMG Project One
Bored of Mercedes-AMG Project One teasers? We have some good news: this should be the last one you see. Affalterbach’s F1-derived slice of hypercar madness is due to be revealed ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show later today, but in the meantime, we have this shot of the rear to salivate over.
Posted on Mercedes-AMG’s Facebook page, it shows the car being loaded into a truck for its journey to Frankfurt, and my, does it have an angry-looking rear. We get a good look at the rear lights, the meaty exhaust system and the vent-festooned rear deck.
An F1-derived V6 hyrid powertrain will give Project One over 1000bhp to play with, and a top speed in excess of 217mph. It’ll have an electric turbocharger, a trio of electric motors, and 11,000rpm redline and an idle speed of 4000rpm. Oh, and it’ll have yellow seatbelts, as helpfully revealed by Lewis Hamilton.
The car will be revealed in Frankfurt and online on 11 September at 19.30 CET.
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.

WHAT IS IT?

Wow that’s some aggressive styling!
Anyone else thinks it looks like an R8 though
You
See
It will have over 1000hp to play with, yet owners will only play with Instagram filters for posting pictures in front of 5 star restaurants.
True, it’s really sad, but what can you do? I think this car maybe different, cause only real car fans would buy such a mad machine. Imagine the reliability
Nah, I wouldn’t say that’s the case, with supercars, there’s a threshold that you have to surpass to get to the genuine enthusiasts and this is definitely past it. When it comes to cars this track-focused and exclusive, you can bet only real supercar enthusiasts will collect them. For mormies, why not buy an Aventador? It does the same job and they probably never heard about what an “AMG Project One” is; it probably sounds like some CERN research project to them. Either that or “investors” get a hold of these, that’d be a real tragedy…
Looks like a CLK GTR with a temper and steroids
So I’m not the only one who sees the similarities with CLK GTR!
I’m getting hints of Regera and 918.
Regera spotted! Oh wait…
One stands for exhaust count
What about the two tiny little pipes underneath? I’m curious if they do anything.
The seat belt may be for hamilton personal car tho
The instalink doesn’t work :(
