The hypercar segment is getting even more exciting with the debut of the Mercedes-AMG Project One. Unveiled ahead of its public display at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Mercedes-AMG Project One has the goal of bringing Formula 1 technology to the road and star race car driver Lewis Hamilton was even at the launch to tell everyone how excited he is about this hybrid exotic.

As expected, the high-performance hybrid produces more than 1,000 horsepower and has a top speed of at least 217 mph (350 km/h). The hypercar can also accelerate from a standstill to 124 mph (200 km/h) in less than 6 seconds. The powertrain comes directly from Formula 1 with a high-revving 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine combined with four electric motors, which Mercedes-AMG says should give it faster throttle response time than a naturally aspirated V8. The mid-engine setup is capable of reaching engine speeds of 11,000 rpm, which is unique for a production, road-going car.
