      Mercedes-AMG has released its best ever hypercar at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017 in Las Vegas.

      Mercedes-AMG is expected to power the upcoming beast with a 1.6 liters, V6, turbo which will generate around 986bhp of power and be based on F1 racecar's Hybrid Power Unit. To handle high speeds and corners comfortably, the vehicle will share design elements from the Formula 1 to create more downforce. Right from suspension to the external lightweight body shell, the upcoming vehicle will carry most of the technology from the F1 racing division along with the company’s radar-based system.

      Apart from high performance, the upcoming vehicle will also be loaded with creaturely comforts such electrically adjustable seats, large touchscreen infotainment system and premium upholstery. The vehicle will also be loaded with safety features such as multiple airbags, ABS with EBD and electronic speed restrictor.

      Unfortunately, only a few will get a chance to own it, approximately 250 to 300 units will be produced and all of them will be sold out even before it has been officially unveiled. Reports suggest that the Mercedes-AMG hypercar will be priced around 2 million Euros (Approx. Rs 14.40 Crore) excluding tax.
