At the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes-AMG premiered the powerful concept One, and five years later the car was presented to the public. It is a hybrid “beast” and one of the fastest road cars in the world that comes with the Formula 1 engine, and the first example has just left the production line and is on its way to its owner.

The Mercedes-AMG One is powered by a 1.6-liter Formula 1 V6 turbo engine with 566 hp (422 kW) at 11,000 rpm, which in combination with four electric motors delivers a total of 1,049 hp (771 kW). That’s enough power for this supercar to reach 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, 124 mph (200 km / h) in less than six seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km / h). The engine is paired with a 7-speed gearbox. And yes, the engine meets Euro 6 standards.

The car has German license plates marked “ON1”. It is finished in black with Petronas green detailing and white three-pointed stars on the rear. The top of the roof vent is painted in red, while the front grille features a prominent white AMG badge. It is equipped with an 8.4 kWh lithium-ion battery that allows the 1,695 kilogram hybrid plug-in car to travel 20 kilometers without the assistance of an internal combustion engine.

Mercedes-AMG has announced that it will produce only 275 copies of this model, and production will be assembled at AMG’s factory in Coventry, Great Britain.
