Mercedes-AMG One has arrived

June 1, 2022 M.K.

Mercedes-AMG premiered its powerful concept in 2017 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. But no one even thought that the development, testing and problem solving, on the hybrid “beast” that comes with the Formula 1 engine, would take five years. Now, it seems that AMG has finally managed to solve all the technical problems, because the Mercedes-AMG One has arrived.

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. Combined with four electric motors, the One has 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.

Weighing 1,695 kilograms, the hybrid plug-in without the assistance of an internal combustion engine can cover almost 20 kilometers.

And while the public is waiting for the production Mercedes-AMG One to show its potential on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, all 275 copies have already been sold out. Each buyer paid $ 2.7 million (€ 2.34 million) for one of the fastest cars on the road.

Blue details can also be seen on the sides of the door as well as on the rear bumper.

The car has a larger wheelbase. Compared to the X1, the new crossover is 53mm longer, 24mm wider and 44mm taller, with a luggage space capacity of 540 liters. Inside, the seats are upholstered in burgundy leather which in combination with black leather can be seen on the door panels and dashboard. In front of the driver, there is a steering wheel covered with black leather and a digital touch screen, so the manual buttons have been removed.

The BMW iX1 is one of the most powerful members of the third generation X1 family. It is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 313 hp (230 kW) and 364 lb-ft (494 Nm) of torque. With all-wheel drive, the car reaches 62 mph in 5.7 seconds. Thanks to the 64.7 kWh battery, the iX1 has a range of 438 km. The battery supports BMW’s latest charging technology and new software that also uses the BMW i7, which means that DC charging of up to 130 kW is enabled, ie the battery can be charged up to 70 percent of capacity in 29 minutes.
