10/02/2018

The F1-derived turbocharged 1.6L V6 engine alongside 4 electric motors supply the Mercedes-AMG One with up to 1,000 HP.

Normally, a concept car before its launch makes its debut with a name and this name most of the time is used for its production version which will find new homes in the future.

That simple truth doesn’t seem new to car enthusiasts and they just take that fact that a concept car has the same name as the production car as nature.

However, the Mercedes-AMG Project One is different. Though the name of the concept version and the name of its production version are the same, it still gets everyone talking about it relentlessly as a top-notch hypercar which was unveiled by F1 legend Lewis Hamilton.
