The goal of Mercedes which has recently unveiled the luxury interior of the new S-Class, is to reach a new dimension in the driving dynamics and performance of a road vehicle. A complex job that passes from the adaptation of a motor unit of Formula 1 for a car that will be homologated for road circulation.
Mercedes’ challenge is all there: the Project OneAs well as providing impressive driving dynamics, it will also have to guarantee perfect daily performance and great mobility in electric mode. Quality reserved only for the 275 wealthy collectors who have already booked the hypercar by paying the staggering sum of 2,275 million euros. For deliveries they will have to wait until 2021, the year in which the Mercedes-AMG Project One, made in limited edition, will finally be delivered.
The development team, in parallel with the ongoing dynamic tests on the vehicle, is also working at the Affalterbach headquarters, testing the car on the test rigs and in the internal simulator. The next step in the program is to test the hypercar on the circuit of the Nurburgring, where the Porsche Panamera just posted a record-breaking performance on its debut.
