Teaser images of Mercedes new F1-engined hypercar have emerged online ahead of its official launch at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt next week.

Known as Project One, the car will be powered by a V6 turbo hybrid based on the same power unit used by Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas in this year's Mercedes F1 car.

The latest image shows the rear of the car -- featuring the same exhaust layout as the F1 car with two wastegate pipes -- and first appeared on Mercedes official Instagram on Saturday night.

Another leaked image shows a glimpse of the interior, including an F1-style steering wheel, and according to the caption was taken by AMG boss Tobias Moers.
