Been there done that and everyone hated it

>>17838713
You know my first thought was "won't it need to be constantly rebuilt like an f1 engine?" but then I remembered that if you can afford this then you wouldn't give a flying fuck.

>Mercedes-AMG 'Project One' hypercar sold out in US

>It's a potentially sad day for American customers yearning for a chance at owning Mercedes-AMG's Formula One-powered hypercar. What we currently know as "Project One" is officially sold out, at least in the United States.

>AMG is currently undergoing the task of selecting a lucky 275 buyers who will be deemed worthy enough to own the 11,000-rpm hypercar and consideration for U.S. buyers closed on March 17, according to Road & Track.

>The cost for such an extravagant machine? An estimated $2.4 million. As mentioned, AMG will build 275 units of the Project One. We'll learn in May how many of these have been earmarked for the US.

>The car's reveal will take place in September at the 2017 Frankfurt auto show as the culmination of AMG's 50th anniversary celebrations.

Now Dodge has to make a production car with a Top Fuel engine to compete. Detuned from 11000HP to only 5000HP of course.

It was a pretty poor effort. Typical Italian.

>>17838733
Explain why it was a poor effort without regurgitating a review from a TV show

>>17838729
It doesn't look a street-legal vehicle to me.

>>17838729
Hopefully then it'll last longer than 5 minutes

>>17838729
MB Project one is the best overall. Performance, efficiency, etc...
They sold out so fast before being revealed. see >>17838727

>>17838724

F1 engine don't have to be rebuild after each race though
and they last at least 1200 km the Mercedes ones at least

>>17838754
That's literally every car over 1 million $ is sold. Repeat supercar customers are told to meet up for dinner, are given a drawing of a concept car on a napkin, and are asked if they want to buy it 3 years in advance.

MB Project one uses Formula 1 technology. Of course, it will go faster than Aston Martin, which admits outsourcing almost everything to MB. See DB11 and its future product lines.

The Valkyrie better be fucking faster, it was a proper engine in it.

>outsourcing
Its a Red Bull project with pic related at the helm. So yeah, its outsourced, but not to Mercedes-AMG.

>>17838780
yeah no i really doubt it
the V6 alone would probably already rape that V12 but with the whole hybrid part it has no chance

Too heavy.
MB uses the kraut space magic aka 1000+hp 1.6L with hybrid shits to win the race.

>>17838809
>"The Valkyrie's most likely competitor, the Mercedes-AMG Project One, uses a 1.6-liter turbocharged F1-derived V6. Interestingly, Newey too thought about six-cylinder power for the Valkyrie, instead of going with a V12."
>""I did some homework and came to the conclusion that weight wise there wasn’t much between them," Newey told Top Gear. "In terms of cooling requirements the V6 was worse, in terms of sound the V6 was worse and it would vibrate too much if you solid-mounted it to the chassis. Technically and emotionally the V12 was the better solution.""

I really don't see this engine going for thousands of miles but it'll likely never have 1000 miles put on it anyway as it will probably be one of the single biggest collector pieces in the automotive world. if it does though i guess ill wait and see Magic happen. where do you even get something like that serviced and just how much is the maintenance going to cost to run it. This could make the Veyron look like a 3k civic as far as maintenance goes.

>>17838819

And because they rarely end up in the hands of someone who actually cares about those cars

It is against the philosophy of MB. Mercedes-AMG boss Tobias Moers confirmed that Project One can be a DD car.

>And what about the car’s core character? You’d rightly expect a car spawned directly from F1 to be massively track-focused… though apparently, that’s not the plan. “My task is to make it a car you can use everyday,” Moers said. “You don’t need an F1 team, you don’t need special gas, you don’t need anything, you just push the button, it fires up and you drive away. That’s a challenge.”

>>17838713
Misleading.
The 1.6 along with the electric drive will make 1000hp. Not 1000hp on its own steam.

>>17838819
Interesting, but Project One uses AWD while Valkyrie uses only RWD. Project One undoubtedly beat Valkyrie in lap time, thanks to its hybrid system using a kinetic energy recovery system aka KERS.

>>17838729
I know this is a joke but don't these engines get full rebuilds like every 2 or 3 runs

>>17838780
Who cares if it's faster or not, that's not the point of the valkyrie. We can say with absolute certainty that it will sound a million times better than the 1.6L turbo v6

>>17839034
>2 or 3 runs
More like 2 or 3 seconds. They're making up to 1400HP/L at peak power, without any hybrid backup.

This is only at qualifying boost. I'm pretty sure they run well under 1500 for the actual race where reliability matters.

This sounds better. It makes Project One more appealing to most, and this explains why they sold out so fast.

Valkyrie may depend on being supervised by Aston Martin team.

A Veyron is also a DD car. when i say "Maintenance" i don't mean reliability i mean cost to run the car yearly.
