    Mercedes-Benz’s (ETR:$DAI) new hypercar could give Tesla’s (NASDAQ:$TSLA) electric vehicles a run for its money.

    A few weeks ago, Mercedes announced that its newest hybrid hypercar, named Project One, will be powered by a 1.6 liter turbocharged V6 engine. Its combustion portion will be able to produce 748 horsepower, and its electric motors will produce an additional 408 horsepower. That’s an impressive 1,156 horsepower produced altogether. The power will be received by all four wheels, with the front axle powered by mainly the electric motors.

    Project One, while incredibly impressive, will only be marketed to elite, luxury car owners — so it seems like Tesla’s new Model 3 aimed towards the mass market will still have the upperhand regarding domination of the market. According to Road & Track, Mercedes stopped recording the number of Project One buyers in the U.S. on March 17 — only about 275 Project One’s will be produced.

    The Project One is projected to be priced around $2.4 million when it first gets released around mid-2018. The luxury car-maker is expected to reveal the full car this September at the popular Frankfurt Motor Show. While it’s extremely pricey, the power and technology of the vehicle is enough to attract any wealthy car enthusiasts.
