What is possibly the most awaited car of the year, the Mercedes-AMG Project One has made its debut on the eve of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Project One is as close to a Formula 1 car for the road than any other car in production today and even features a 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 engine similar to the Mercedes-AMG F1 car. The Project One also gets four electric motors in total to produce a power figure of 1000 bhp! And since the car weighs just 1000 kg, the Project One gets a 1:1 power to weight ratio (hence the name).
