DoogyRev Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 . . . being capable of revving up to 50,000rpm http://www.carscoops.com/2017/09/mercedes-amg-debuts-1000hp-project-one.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Only the front motors rev that high. I'll be surprised if the petrol unit goes into five figures. It looks like the front of a 918, the rear of a P1, and a penis stuck on the roof. Makes the RB/AM thing look positively pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Petrol unit goes to a (limited*) 11,000rpm by all accounts. *Limited from the 15,000rpm when it's the actual F1 car, "for reliability". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I wonder how many of those cars will ever see 11000 on the rev counter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'd be embarrassed to drive about in that... you'd look a right knob... soon will come the pics from Monaco of some...knob driving one lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 You'd look no more (or less) a knob driving up and down your local high street in this than you would in a Maserati MC12 or AM Valkyrie to be fair. But then that's not really their purpose, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Really reminds me of this visually, and that's no bad thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 That is a thing of beauty, except the silly looking shark fin. Looks like its basically a remake of the Macca F1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Alonso should buy one so he could be more competitive for the rest of the year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Alonso could buy a Kia and still be more competitive for the rest of the year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I personally think that looks absolutely awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z21 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I just don't really see the point.. if you want F1 levels of performance why not just buy an F1 car? As a common man, I highly doubt it's a dilemma that I'll ever face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
