Hypercar created for the 50th anniversary tuning company AMG, which has been part of the auto concern Daimler and oversees the development sports models. Mercedes-AMG Project One is an interpretation of the road-ready Formula 1 car common use. The heart of the machine is located in front rear axle real formula V6 engine with a working volume of 1600 cm3. It is equipped with a single high-performance turbocharger and a 90 kW (122 hp) electric motor assisting it, which neutralizes the effect of turbo lag and improves the response to pressing the accelerator. Another electric motor is mounted on the crankshaft and produces 120 kW (163 hp), it works as a power generator during braking and provides additional power during acceleration. From racing cars The internal combustion engine also inherited the pneumatic valve drive, but the maximum crankshaft speed for the sake of increasing the resource was reduced from the formula 15,000 to the conditionally sportbike 11,000 rpm - the manufacturer promises that the engine will properly serve 50 thousand kilometers.
Two more electric motors with a capacity of 120 kW (163 hp) each are mounted on the front axle and also generate electricity during braking, which is stored in a lithium-ion battery (capacity not named) located under the feet of the driver and the only passenger. It can also be charged from external source, a full charge is enough for 25 km in exhaustless mode. Working voltage very high - 800 V.
The combined peak power of the hybrid power plant is 740 kW (1006 hp), of which 500 kW (680 hp) are rear axle. The gearbox is a robotic 8-speed manual (it, of course, only serves rear wheels).
From dynamic characteristics the manufacturer has named so far only the acceleration time to 200 km / h - less than 6 seconds, and the maximum speed - more than 350 km / h. The curb weight of the car has not yet been reported, but on the sidelines of the Frankfurt Motor Show they are talking about 1300 kg, which is quite plausible given the use of lightweight formula components, a carbon fiber body and an openwork aluminum racing suspension with push rods. Brake discs- carbon-ceramic.
The salon at first glance is extremely ascetic, but there is air conditioning and even power windows. In the formula steering wheel, the developers managed to mount an airbag. The bucket seats are fixed rigidly - you can only adjust the position of the steering wheel and pedal assembly. Instead of instruments, there are two multifunctional tablets, the third is installed under the ceiling and acts as a rear-view mirror (broadcasts a picture from a video camera installed at the stern).
The production of the Mercedes-AMG Project One hypercar will begin only in 2019 (a number of development tests still need to be carried out), the price is rumored to exceed 2.7 million euros per copy, while pre-orders have already been collected for all 275 cars planned for release, the queue can be do not occupy. Of course, then several cars will certainly pop up on secondary market and "anyone" can buy them at a speculative price.

Auto giant Mercedes-Benz presented a unique hyper-car Mercedes-AMG Project One as part of. In our review of the 2018-2019 Mercedes-AMG Project One - photos and videos, price and equipment, specifications a mid-engined two-door coupe stuffed with a Formula 1 car. Unique coupe created by Daimler specialists for the 50th anniversary AMG divisions engaged in the production of powerful and fast cars. New hybrid coupe supercar Mercedes-AMG Project Van is scheduled to launch in mass production in 2019. The price of each of the 275 copies of the unique hybrid coupe (in fact, we have a Formula 1 car adapted for public roads) will be from 2.7 million euros, which is 300 thousand euros more than the cost offered at a starting price of 2.4 million euros.
The Mercedes-AMG Project One Coupe, despite its uniqueness, cannot compete with Bugatti Chiron neither in terms of the power of the power plant (1000 hp versus 1500 hp), nor in terms of maximum speed (350 mph versus over 420 mph). And the interior of the new Mercedes-AMG hybrid hypercar is just spartan compared to the plush interior of the Bugatti two-door coupe. What is the feature of the novelty, for which the manufacturer wants such a huge amount of money?
The answer is simple and concise. Built with Formula 1 technology, the Mercedes-AMG Project One Coupe is a road-ready racing car for the 2015 Mercedes-AMG F1 W06 Hybrid royal race…fantastic, isn't it?!
So let's go straight to technical specifications Mercedes-AMG Project One 2018-2019.
The small-scale mid-engined two-door coupe is equipped with a hybrid power plant with a 1.6-liter V6 Turbo petrol engine with two electric motors mounted on it. The first 122-horsepower electric motor helps to spin the turbocharger, the second 163-horsepower mounted on crankshaft gasoline engine and helps the turbocharged V6 during acceleration, as well as during braking, it acts as a recuperator and provides electricity generation. Peak power of 680 hp transmitted rear wheels through an 8-speed robotic gearbox (single clutch disc, shifting with hydraulic drive).
Taken as a basis, the W06 Hybrid engine of a formula car with a resource of only 4000 km received, of course, for road car a number of improvements that made it possible to increase the "life" of the motor to 50,000 km. AMG motorists have equipped the engine of the Mercedes-AMG Project coupe One new pistons and crankshaft, changed the program of the engine control unit, lowering maximum speed up to 11,000 (for a formula motor, the cut-off is triggered at 15,000 rpm) and allowed the engine to run on 98 gasoline. And that is not all.
Unlike a Formula 1 car with rear wheel drive unique coupe is four-wheel drive vehicle. Two electric motors are additionally installed on the front axle for each wheel separately with a power of 163 forces (electric motors provide thrust vector control).
A couple of blocks are also available. batteries installed under the cabin floor behind the front wheels. The fuel stored in the batteries is enough to overcome 25 km without activating the gasoline engine, you can recharge the batteries from the outlet.
It only remains to add that the entire hybrid power point gives out on the mountain maximum power at 1000 hp!!!, but at fully charged batteries. Acceleration dynamics from 0 to 100 kmh less than 2.5 seconds, from 0 to 200 kmh less than 6.0 seconds, maximum speed just over 350 mph.
The exterior design of the body of the Mercedes-AMG Project One coupe is like an alien, but not from Formula 1, but from the future. The car is incomparably beautiful, but the body of the car was not created for beauty contests, but taking into account the achievement of the lowest possible score. aerodynamic drag. In the presence of huge front and side air intakes, an active splitter, opening flaps on the tops of the front fenders, electronically controlled spoiler… in a word, everyone aerodynamic elements do not count. And how cool the air intake on the roof looks, smoothly turning into a huge fin.
The new mid-engined coupe from Mercedes-AMG with the original name Project One is built around carbon monocoque with cockpit for driver and passenger. Interestingly, not only the monocoque, but also Gas engine in the company with the gearbox provide the load-bearing structure. The rear suspension arms are attached to the crankcases of the engine and gearbox, the shock absorbers are located almost horizontally, fixed to the chassis body and connected to the suspension arms using push rods. That's just the suspension is not as expensive as that of the car of the royal races.
And from more familiar materials and details:
First, the levers are aluminum, not carbon fiber.
Secondly, springs are installed, not torsion bars.
In this case, carbon-ceramic brakes are used, and there is also a stabilization system, which can be turned off if desired.
Mercedes-AMG Project One coupe double saloon looks like a real cockpit sports car. In stock steering wheel almost like the steering wheel of a Formula 1 car with a tachometer indicator light, buttons and a switch, but with the addition of an airbag and touchpads. helping to set up multimedia system without taking your hands off the wheel.
There are also two customizable 10-inch color screens that can provide the driver and passenger with a weight useful information. One is located in the usual place for dashboard, the second in the center of the front panel and acts as a multimedia complex, but with advanced features. There is also a third screen that has taken the place interior mirror rear view, which displays a picture from the rear view camera, as well as other information on car settings.
There are no chairs in the traditional concept. The driver and passenger are placed in fixed lodgements with suede trim. To get more or less comfortable and choose the optimal fit is available only to the driver with the help of an electrically adjustable steering column and pedal assembly. Well, at least air conditioning and power windows are installed as standard. Finishing materials, of course, premium: carbon fiber, from which the entire cockpit is made, natural leather, Nappa leather and Alcantara suede.

Price on Mercedes-AMG Project One is 2,700,000 euros. This is the cost without various excises and taxes. They say that 275-at cars, which in Mercedes should be released, but not yet released, already sold out. And here important point that even in autumn, in Frankfurt 2017 It was the concept that was shown, not the production car. The production of this exclusive should only begin in 2019, and last car the customer will receive in 2020. As you can see, people paid for this miracle, despite the fact that it still needs to be done - it's not enough to wait. Would you give money for a car, knowing that you have to wait two years)? - of course - such a Mercedes was ordered by collectors who know a lot about expensive and sophisticated cars. And it seems to me that many of them understand that in the future such AMG will only go up in price.
Look at the photo of the Mercedes AMG Project Van, how do you like it? Of course, outwardly it looks more like a racing prototype than a road Supercar. But, I repeat, this is a car that will be allowed on public roads, while the creators say that it should accelerate from zero to 200 km in 6 seconds, and thanks to the partial unification of the suspension with the Formula car, in corners such a car should also be phenomenally fast.
Don't you think that the upper air intake is clearly related to F1? No less impressive is the “fin” placed behind this air intake. You will not find such solutions on mass Supercars.
Please note that the wheels here are almost completely - to the very bottom, hidden in the wheel arch. The doors here are made according to the scheme - "gull wing" — This solution is often found in race cars. Of course, only carbon-ceramic brake discs could be installed in such a car.
From the photo you can see that there are no seats in their traditional form. A common, carbon fiber seat is made for each client and fitted with leather, suede, or other materials - at the request of the client. You can pay attention to two, 10-inch screens. Here is the helm rectangular shape, and not the steering wheel, which, like the pedals, has an electric drive.
Of course, the basis of the design here is a carbon fiber monocoque. But there is also a lot of carbon fiber in the cabin.
Characteristics Mercedes AMG Project One very interesting. Formula V6 with a volume of 1.6 liters, it is equipped with a supercharger and by itself develops a power of 680 hp. Together with electric motors, the total power is 1,000 hp. Here is a modified crankshaft and pistons,— they are not quite the same as on the car F1 , but such an engine has a resource of 50,000 km. Which is quite significant for such a non-everyday car. And by the way, this car is designed to drive on regular, 98th gasoline.
On all-wheel drive and with an eight-speed, robotic gearbox, such a machine is capable of breaking up to 100 km in 2.5 s and reaching a maximum speed of 350 km per hour. Surely many connoisseurs are now wondering how long this car will pass the Nurburgring North Loop, but we will find out about this in best case in 2019. On electric power alone, such a machine can travel 25 km. From this, of course, it is clear that electric motors here only for better traction economy - necessary on the track (for fewer refueling in racing conditions), and not for real savings.
This is a stunning, very bright and unusual car. While this is not yet a series and after the show production car, we will definitely come back to it. And of course, the time that this car will show at the Nurburgring is very interesting.
The Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team has won the Formula 1 Constructors' Championship for three consecutive years. Concerning road cars, That division of Mercedes-AMG turned into the locomotive of the entire concern, and in the minds of many people brand Mercedes-Benz now associated primarily with cars bearing the letters AMG. By the way, the office from Affalterbach turns 50 this year. If you sum up all these facts, it becomes clear: since the anniversary cakes at AMG do not know how to bake, they baked it.
The Mercedes-AMG Project ONE is a road-legal hybrid supercar powered by a genuine Formula 1 engine. The 1.6-liter V6 turbo engine spins up to 11,000 rpm and is powered by "civilian" 98th gasoline. One of the four electric motors is occupied only by supercharging, and its power is 90 kW. Or 122 hp - this is already quite an automotive value! Electric boost Unlike drive supercharger or conventional turbochargers are much more efficient and still provide instant response. According to the engineers, "faster than a naturally aspirated V8." Yes, we have no doubt!
Another 120 kW electric motor is located, like the petrol engine, behind the cab, in front of the rear axle. Two more in front. Each of them can work as a generator - store energy in the battery with each braking. What's more, the front electric motors each drive their own wheel, which means that the distribution of traction can be actively controlled.
But the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE is not only a frantic supercar devourer who got on the roads due to someone's clearly intentional mistake. It is also a rechargeable hybrid. If necessary, it can drive up to 25 km in complete silence without starting the internal combustion engine.
Lewis Hamilton, a three-time world champion in Formula 1, one of the best racers of our time, brought Project ONE to the podium of the Mercedes stand at the Frankfurt Motor Show
But if you don't need to stand on ceremony, the carbon fiber hypercar is ready to reach speeds in excess of 350 km / h, and reach the first 200 km / h in less than 6 seconds after the start. That is, at least half a second faster than the almighty!
Do you know what it is? This is the pavilion of Mercedes-Benz on Frankfurt Motor Show half an hour before the start of the presentation. Not every time you see this at exhibitions, especially on a closed day, only for the press. However, the premiere is not that everyday ...
Mercedes-AMG Project ONE is an unprecedented project, although Mercedes fans will insist otherwise. In 1997, they released an especially small series of CLK GTR - only 25 incredible wheeled monsters, nicknamed by the fans "Unicorns".
Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, 1997
But that was the so-called homologation road lot, which allowed the prototypes to compete in FIA GT races. And Project ONE is originally a road project, even though it set an ambitious goal to bring Formula 1 to the roads in the most literal interpretation.
German automotive giant Mercedes-Benz will present a unique model of the 2018-2019 Mercedes-AMG Project One hypercar. In the review, the technical characteristics, equipment, price, photo and video of the two-door mid-engined Mercedes-AMG Project Van coupe with a filling from a Formula 1 car, which Daimler specialists worked on, two-door coupe was created in honor of the 50th anniversary of the AMG division.
Auto novelty from Mercedes-Benz, which is essentially a Formula 1 car adapted for driving on ordinary roads, are planning to launch mass production in 2019, with a circulation of 275 copies.
The price of the Mercedes-AMG Project One coupe will be from 2,700,000 euros.
Technical Mercedes-AMG specifications Project One 2018-2019.
The two-door mid-engined coupe is driven by a hybrid powertrain, which includes a 1.6-liter V6 Turbo gasoline engine and two electric motors, of which a 122-horsepower one helps spin up a turbocharger, a 163-horsepower one is located on the gasoline engine's crankshaft to help turbo- motor during acceleration, and during braking it acts as a recuperator and provides electricity generation.
Maximum motor power 680 Horse power, which is transmitted using an 8-speed robotic box on the rear wheels (gear shifting occurs using a hydraulic drive, single-plate clutch).
The W06 Hybrid engine, taken from a car with a resource of only 4,000 km, has been significantly improved, as a result of which its life has increased to 50,000 km. Upgraded motor equipped with a new crankshaft and pistons, the program of the engine control unit was changed, reducing the maximum speed to 11,000 and allowing the engine to run on 98 gasoline.
But that's not all - the Formula 1 car is rear-wheel drive, and the new Mercedes-AMG Project One coupe is all-wheel drive.
On the front axle there are two electric motors with a capacity of 163 horsepower separately for each wheel, which are powered by batteries installed behind the front wheels under the passenger compartment. On electric traction alone, the car will be able to overcome 25 km, you can recharge the batteries from a household outlet.
In general, the hybrid power plant, when the batteries are fully charged, produces 1000 horsepower, the coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km in 2.5 seconds, to 200 km / h in 6.0 seconds, and the maximum speed is 350 km / h.
Externally, the car looks just amazing, not to mention the excellent aerodynamic characteristics. There are huge air intakes on the front and sides, an electronically controlled spoiler, an active splitter that opens flaps on the tops of the front fenders, and a roof air intake that smoothly transitions into a huge fin.
The new Project One coupe is built around a carbon fiber monocoque with a cockpit for driver and passenger, by the way. gasoline engine together with the gearbox, are also part of the supporting structure. The shock absorbers are located almost horizontally, mounted on the chassis body and connected to the suspension arms using push rods, rear arms suspensions are attached to the crankcases of the motor and gearbox.
The suspension, however, is not as expensive as that of the car, but from more familiar materials: aluminum levers instead of carbon fiber, instead of torsion bars, springs are installed, carbon-ceramic brakes, and there is also a stabilization system that can be turned off if desired.
Inside, the two-seat coupe has a steering wheel-like steering wheel with an airbag with a tachometer indicator light, buttons, switches and touchpads that help you adjust the multimedia system without taking your hands off the steering wheel.
There are also two customizable 10-inch color screens that display a lot of useful information for the driver and passenger, one of them is digital panel devices, and the other is a multimedia complex with advanced features.
There is also a third screen, located in the place of the salon mirror, it displays a picture from the rear view camera and a lot of other information on car settings.
