Highlights

- The hypercar will use the same 1.6-litre unit seen on the Mercedes F1 car
- The hypercar will get a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio
According to the strong rumours circulating, AMG has been secretly working on a mid-engined hypercar for the road using the same technology that goes into the current Formula 1 car. The new car is set to have the same 1.6-litre V6 engine that is currently in the W07 F1 car and will of course be turbocharged. And just like the F1 cars, the new Mercedes will also have hybrid technology with electric motors adding to the performance. Expect the car to make over 1000bhp and have electric motors powering the front wheels while the IC engine combined with an electric motor powers the rear wheel.

Although the car will be built in the Mercedes-AMG plant in Affalterbach, expect the engines to be built at the F1 facility in the United Kingdom. The development of a road engine could also herald in improvements in the next generation race engine with regards to reliability. Expect the hypercar to cost at least a couple of million US-Dollars and to be sold out as soon as it is shown to the public.
