With only 275 units made priced at HK$21million each, this might be Mercedes' most coveted vehicle yet.
Shown for the first time at this year’s International Motor Show in Frankfurt, and driven onto the stage by Lewis Hamilton himself, the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE is a two-seater hypercar bringing fully-fledged Formula 1 technology from the race track to the road.
Exterior
The car undeniably resembles an F1 car and is built around a carbon fibre monocoque. Its roofline is dominated by a large black air intake which transitions elegantly into a vertical shark fin, which improves lateral stability when cornering at high speeds.
It has extremely muscular proportions with the cockpit well forward, large wheel arches, a wasp waist and an extended rear end. The Petronas green paintbrush design on the flanks is the work of the artist who designed the paintwork for the Formula 1 racing car.

The side view also shows a clean surface design combined with functional features. The vehicle flanks are tautly recessed, with black carbon fibre surfaces redirecting the airflow around the vehicle body as is done in motorsport.
And just like in motor racing, the doors open both forwards and upwards. The fuel filler flap is on the rear right, and the charge socket for the plug-in hybrid battery is on the rear left.
