Mercedes-AMG Project One Exterior

Up front, the Project One gets a host or air inlets along with a large white AMG logo on the centre section. Above it sits a Mercedes logo on the bonnet. On the left and right are large, prominent air inlets which are framed by U‑shaped flaps and each subdivided by two black horizontal fins. The car gets all LED head lamps.  The roof line features an air intake derived from Formula 1, via which the engine takes in large volumes of air. The black intake transitions elegantly into the black, vertical shark fin, which improves lateral stability when cornering at high speed. The rear window placed well to the rear is an integral part of the intake/roof-fin unit. It allows a view of the power unit. Two large NACA air inlets ensure optimum guidance of the airflows for the engine and transmission oil coolers located at the rear end. The Petronas green paintbrush design on the flanks is the work of the artist who designed the paintwork for the Formula 1 racing car.

At the rear, there is a sharp, vertical spoiler lip and the large, two-section diffuser, which is interrupted by the central exhaust tailpipe, as well as the two-stage extendible rear aerofoil, contribute to aerodynamic efficiency and performance at high speeds. The design of the exhaust tailpipe with its large, round outlet and two further small, round apertures have been adopted from the Formula 1 cars.There are 10-spoke forged aluminium 19 inch wheels with centre locks exclusive to the Project One. At the front the car is shod with 285/35 ZR 19 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres which were exclusively developed for the hypercar and at the rear the it gets Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 335/30 ZR 20 tyres.

Mercedes-AMG Project One Interior

On the interior, the dashboard has a light weight construction and appears to be free floating. There are two high-resolution, free-standing 10-inch displays (one slightly raised in front of the driver, the other on the right of the centre console angled towards the driver). The steering wheel comes with flattened upper and lower sections and an integrated airbag that offers motorsport functionality, as do the two integrated controllers which can be used to set adjustment functions, such as the driving modes and suspension setup, or the LED shift display in the upper steering wheel area. The bucket seats feature adjustable backrests and are integrated into the monocoque. The pedals and steering wheel are adjustable, allowing the driver to adopt the ideal driving position.
