Is This The Upcoming Mercedes Hypercar?


In case you didn’t hear, Mercedes is currently very busy working on a new hypercar. It’s tagged with the codename “Project One,” and it’s basically an out-and-out race car for the road, boasting huge aero on the outside and even a four-figure, F1-derived powertrain on the inside. Sounds tempting, no? Mercedes has teased the Project One before, giving us little more than a vague silhouette and a smattering of details. A full reveal is expected later this year, but in the interim, we may have just got a new, broad-daylight look at what’s coming in the above press image.

The picture is taken from a recent press release Mercedes issued that outlines the efforts of its design studios. The title of the press release is “Advanced design: Working on the future,” and it talks about show cars like the F015 Luxury in Motion, the Concept IAA, and the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6.

The release doesn’t mention the Project One by name, but we think the ultra-wide, ultra-low, black and white model we see parked in the background could, at the very least, be some kind of early prototype design. If it’s not, well… maybe it should be.

Read on for more info on the Project One, and why this image in particular could be so important.
