A very secretive project was unleashed in the labs of the German automaker on the completion of 50 years of AMG’s existence, and it involves the making of a hypercar with the codename R50—with guesstimates that place the price way upward of $2 million. The car will be designed along the lines of a Le Mans prototype racer, boasting an adaptive suspension and innovative rear wheel steering, with an amazing combination of a slight engine with incredible capabilities, and a total carbon fibre body. Reportedly, the car aims to employ a ‘hybrid powertrain consisting of 2 electric motors and a mid-mounted petrol engine’. A maximum of 1000 horsepower is expected from the engine with an additional 300 horsepower being pumped in by the electric motors.
