Re: AMG plotting new SLR with hybrid power for 2018 launch
JEANTET:1200hp/1200kgs with torque vectoring on front wheels?
should be a hell of a car!
The all about question will be if that car can somehow deliver the required traction. Numbers are even higher than LMP1 - it must be amazingly fast. Hard to believe that such a car can handle the Nuerburgring. I'm very curious!

Most importantly, will that then be a highly efficient internal combustion engine a la F1 technology?! That would blow all other competition out of the water, traction or no traction

Re: AMG plotting new SLR with hybrid power for 2018 launch
Mercedes and Aston Martin (in cooperation with RedBull) have plans to build two very sick hyper cars. I wonder is there any secret connection (mutual help) between MB and AM, since we know that those two manufacturers work together (DB11 came with some Merc technology).

SciFrog:For $1.5m you can buy a very decent refurbished Falcon 50 and have change to spare... You can charter it out, I am told you can then travel for "free" but low level of confidence in that statement...
I assume that whoever buys the "ONE" also has a private jet somewhere...

Lets assume that the Chiron is in the same league as that AMG. The typical Bugatti Owner which owns 84 cars, 3 jets, 1 yacht:

Interesting -the typical Bentley owners has 8 cars 
Re: AMG plotting new SLR with hybrid power for 2018 launch
SciFrog:Very few own a plane, many people use charter companies and brokers... Different planes for different needs...
If I had the money for a jet, I would fly it myself (would need to get my license first though...I'm no pilot).
I still believe however that commercial flights are the safest (so far).

This is very accurate! Especially owners of big companies (depending on number of people they bring with them) they are picking different types/sizes of private jets.

Looks a bit cartoonish to me...or should I say Batmanish? 
I guess we need to see real photos but this may take a while.

Re: AMG plotting new SLR with hybrid power for 2018 launch
I am sick of "conventional" design in car industry, so I like anything that is out of regular shape we know. Aston Martin and RedBull made awesome concept, and now Mercedes is making sick car too. Something like this would be awesome

Re: AMG plotting new SLR with hybrid power for 2018 launch
For a hypercar, the design works...I guess. Not sure however how much of the initial design from these sketches/models will make it to the final (street legal) car though.

When it comes to Mercedes sports cars division, I am pretty impressed. They transfer pretty much everything from original designers sketch to production model.

Something like what you posted and the Aston martin / Red Bull concepts are basically race cars. So usability on the road is a big question. Will be interesting to see what compromise Mercedes strikes between a race car and road car.

That is what I expect from those models. True hypercars - hardcore to the bone, pain in a$$ to drive on public roads, insanely powerful and with striking design!

Will never happen...
You should take a look at crash and pedestrian protection regulations only...

Re: AMG plotting new SLR with hybrid power for 2018 launch
When I saw new McLaren`s pointy nose, its pretty obvious that they can make any shape if they have clever enough designers. Also, if we assume that Mercedes have plans to build a car that is very similar to one I posted I dont see any part that could make problems for pedestrian safety regulations.

Re: AMG plotting new SLR with hybrid power for 2018 launch
Wait until we see the final car. Unfortunately designers cannot work as they please, there are technical aspects to take into consideration and of course legal ones as well.
