AMG Project One PHEV May Become Fastest Nurburgring Car Ever

• https://insideevs.com, BY MARK KANE

With a high-powered hybrid powertrain, and a Formula 1-inspired design, there's no question that the new Mercedes-AMG Project One hypercar will be quick. Question is, just how quick will the expensive two-door be around the famed Nürburgring race track? If you ask AMG boss Tobias Moers, he thinks it could be one of the fastest cars to ever lap the Green Hell.

By the Numbers – Mercedes-AMG Project One – "Under The Microsope"

In an interview with Autocar at the Geneva Motor Show, Moers suggested that "it's reasonable to speculate" that the Project One could be the fastest car to ever lap the 'Ring. Ever. Faster even than the 6-minute 11.13-second lap set by the Porsche 956 race car in 1983 with Stefan Bellof behind the wheel. And faster still than the production Porsche 911 GT2 RS, which did it in 6 minutes 47 seconds last year.
