Mercedes-AMG Preparing F1-Powered Hybrid Hypercar

Reports filtering out of the recent Belgium Formula 1 Grand Prix suggest that Mercedes-AMG is preparing to join the hypercar fray with a new limited-production model set to be introduced next year.

The hypercar is planned to arrive in time to commemorate the 50th anniversary of AMG, and will reportedly be powered by a derivative of the turbo V6 that powers Mercedes' current Formula 1 car (pictured, top).
