BMW: “We Could Easily Build AMG Project One Rival”

Mercedes-AMG Project One is a hypercar worth $2.8 million – an impressive figure indeed. Mercedes has developed this model with a goal to dominate in Formula 1. 

The Project One Runs on a 1.6-liter V6 engine backed up with a few electric motors. It’s able to go faster than 350 km/h and needs astonishing 2.6 seconds to reach 100 km/h from standstill. The engine provides around 700 HP while the hybrid system provides around 1,000 HP.

Not surprisingly, BMW fans started to wonder if the Bavarians will make something similar. According to the executives, BMW could easily build such a car, but they don’t believe there is a need for the hypercar in the current market.

Dirk Hacker, BMW M development boss, said: “We would like to do a standalone car and we could do it – but today there is no requirement from the market to do it. As a company, we are more focused on future mobility than digitization than building a hypercar, to be honest, but if we came to the decision to do a super sportscar, then we could do that.”
