Giancarlo Perlas June 1, 2017

The Mercedes-AMG Project One hypercar is set to break barriers by being the first to use pure-bred Formula One technology on public roads. It is highlighted by its 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine combined with electric motors that enable it to produce up to 1,000 bhp. The high-performance vehicle is expected to carry a $3 million price tag. While the hypercar definitely had car enthusiasts salivating for it, here are a couple of drawbacks we have projected based on the statements of AMG CEO Tobias Moers and other reliable sources: 1. F1-Like Maintenance Moers estimated that the AMG hypercar would need engine maintenance once it reaches a 31,000 mileage or 50,000 km. Therefore, it… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas March 20, 2017

The unveiling of the new Mercedes-AMG GT Concept at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show gives us a good preview of the future AMG hypercar.

Giancarlo Perlas January 24, 2017

So far, what we have seen is a teaser image of the Mercedes-AMG hypercar. Details about it are very limited at the moment too. However, thanks to the talent of Peisert Design, we are given an idea of how the powerful car will possibly look like. Taking cues from the design of modern hypercars and the teaser image released by Mercedes, the artist managed to craft a rendering of the auto, which can be seen on top and below this article. The two photos of the renderings show the hypercar’s sides and back portion. The rear notably resembles the design of the Concept IAA.

Giancarlo Perlas January 17, 2017

The alternative rock band Linkin Park recently visited the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studio in Carlsbad, California. Photos were taken during their stay there. The pictures also leaked some details of the upcoming Mercedes-AMG hypercar called “Project One.” Whether the leak was accidental or a tease from Mercedes is a matter of debate. However, one of the images (which can be seen above) shared during their visit showed the three members of the band toying with a clay model of an unreleased car from the three-pointed star brand. The clay model bears a strong resemblance with the popular hypercars of today. The model also suggests a mid-engined car. During the Detroit Auto Show, Tobias Moers… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas October 2, 2016

Mercedes-Benz confirmed that it is developing a new mid-engined hypercar, and it will be launched under the Mercedes-AMG performance brand in 2018. This new model was confirmed by Thomas Weber, the company’s head of research and development, who will be retiring at the end of this year, just on the eve of the Paris Motor Show.

Giancarlo Perlas November 28, 2015

“Not right now,” that’s the answer given by Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers to the question of whether the three-pointed star brand will be producing a hypercar to compete with the likes of the Porsche 918 or the Ferrari LaFerrari. In his interview featured in AutoBlog, Moers admitted that they have no capacity to produce a Mercedes-AMG hypercar in the near future.
