Pretty crazy. I don't particularly like the front end, but it's not about looks. I like everything else.

The Aston Red Bull Valkyrie is going to have its hands full with this.

It's an f1 car with a license plate. What's not to like?

I have already started saving my pennies.

I am getting one for sure, in the process of parting out my organs for cash - still have a liver, spleen, one kidney and one lung in ok condition, but does have some damage due to tire smoke inhalation!

It'll be worth 1M more than the owner paid for it the second they get an allocation.

LaFerraris's are going for $4M today. P1's for $2.5M, and 918 for $1.7ish.

All substantial gains.

You ever look up black market organ prices? Not as high as you'd think.

The look is quite subjective, I was expecting a more sharper and aggressive look. In saying that you can't deny the figures, it's mind blowing. 0-200km in 5 sec is insane.
​​​​​​What would that equates to 1/4 time I wonder?

Front on it makes me think of the McLaren F1. And for that kind of money I'd expect an interior that doesn't include a tablet randomly tacked onto an otherwise beautiful curving dashboard. But if I had the means I'd certainly be putting in for one just for the performance alone. I like the look of the rear with the wing up.

You would think for the money they would have something better than an ipad for the screen lol.

2013 C63 Coupe
I don't know if any of you guys follow Lewis Hamilton on Instagram but, he just posted a video of him on his timeline, starting and driving the car to the stage. The videos like 10 min long. I highly suggest checking it out before it goes away.

I know it's still a prototype but they seriously didn't even try watering down or taming that motor when they popped it in there. That thing is idling at like 3-4K constantly lol sounds great though

Cross between a McLaren F1 and CLKGTR with an F1 engine... Game Changer!

This really is the worlds first true Hypercar in every sense of the word... The rest of them have just been extreme super cars

W204 C63 Coupe, W166 ML350 BlueTEC, 928GT, C5 Z06 & IS300 race cars, EQE 4Matic+ on order
I personally know two people that have actually ordered one. They flew to Germany shortly after the Canadian F1 race in June to pick their colour. What it wonderful about these two individuals is that despite their wealth they are very down to earth and some of the nicest people I've ever met, and are as excited about their cars as we here may be about our C63s. They will DEFINITELY drive them and enjoy them.

As for the cars themselves, Merc will be somewhat detuning their F1 engines to make them more reliable and driveable on the road, so the Project 1 will idle at 2,000 RPM and rev to 11,000. The power difference from the F1 car to 1000 hp comes from two additional electric motors driving each of the front wheels. And, you still won't be able to get all 1000 ponies by simply pressing on the right pedal - I'm told the car actually has a system that monitors the driver and adjusts the maximum amount of power available depending on how capable and alert the driver is among other things.

Let's get a group buy going. For $1000 each, it would only take 3000 users. Each of the "owners" could "own" the car for roughly 3 hours a year!

Tell ya what... if can have it for nine hours straight (of my choosing) for $1K and then completely give up my part of the ownership, I'm in!
