Mercedes-AMG One

How can a car not yet in production rank as one of the supercar “greats” of the 21st century? Because we’re oh-so-confident that when the first of these 1,000 hp Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 racers for the street appears next summer, it will be totally, freakin’ mind-blowing.
Unveiled back in 2017 as the Project One concept, this road-going monster may have been plagued by technical challenges, but word is that it’s now ready to roll. Powered by a hybrid-boosted, 1.6-liter turbo V-6 and a trio of electric motors, it’s expected to cover zero to 124 mph in less than 6 seconds and top out at 217 mph. Not surprisingly, all 275 examples of these $2.6 million tour de forces are taken. H.W.
