Why We Picked It:

The Mercedes-AMG Project One is a road-going version of the Formula One vehicle that has assisted Lewis Hamilton in winning seven constructors' championships and six world titles since 2014. The Mercedes-AMG ONE is the most stunning, state-of-the-art, street-legal race car out of Affalterbach in its 55-year history.

The Mercedes-AMG ONE, with its E Performance hybrid hypercar technology, shows how the technology and mechanics of a modern F1 car can be applied to a street car. It equips a 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 block as its main engine. The block was constructed at Brixworth, England, which is near Northampton, by the Mercedes-AMG F1 team's engine section.

Like an F1 vehicle, the AMG One features a button-activated drag reduction system (DRS) that modifies the body's aerodynamic characteristics according to the chosen driving mode (Highway, Track, or Race).

The 1.6-liter V6 combustion engine, turbocharger, four electric motors, and 11,000 rpm produce 1,200 horsepower and 737 lb-ft of torque—1,000 less than the Formula One car.
