Didn't graduate with a Doctorate in Engineering? Have no fear, YouTube is here!

While the Mercedes-AMG Project One's so-called 'F1 car for the road' philosophy isn't anything particularly new, since the McLaren F1 and Ferrari F50 came out in the '90s, that hasn't stopped manufacturers from devising new and intriguing ways of over-complicating road legal cars. Because all this gadgetry sounds awesome, right? But you wouldn't really leave it in the hands your local K-Mart apprentice mechanic.

The system is quite interesting and innovative. And relatively simple as well - once KYLE.ENGINEERS explains to it to you, of course.

With the extraordinary performance statistics of both the Mercedes-AMG Project One and Aston Martin Valkyrie being pretty bloody slim, maybe the Project One's suspension tech is the extra edge it needs on the track. Or maybe not. Who knows!

What do you think of the Mercedes-AMG's suspension technology? Will it give it the edge on the track, or is it just another complicated gizmo? Tell us what you think in the comments below.

James Lisle (aka J3) likes all things cars. Cynical and enthusiastic in equal measure, James loves to clamber into anything with a steering wheel and a decent amount of grunt. Although it may seem the J3 glass is half empty on first acquaintance with a new ride, he maintains a balanced approach and will happily lose himself in technical details relating to even the most common, mass market models. Bore and stroke ratios, specific output stats, and thermal efficiency figures are his guilty pleasures.
