The Mercedes-AMG One is still the king of the Nürburgring Nordschleife

In 2022, Mercedes-AMG unveiled one of the fastest road cars in the world, the Mercedes-AMG One, and everyone was waiting to see its capabilities on the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife race track. At the end of that year, the car appeared on the track and set the fastest lap time in the road-legal racing car category. Two years later, the Mercedes-AMG One beat itself and showed that it will rule this track for a long time.

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.

As in 2022, Mercedes driver Maro Engel was behind the wheel and the new fastest lap time on the 20,832 km (12,944 miles) long track is 6 minutes and 29.09 seconds. That is 6:09 seconds faster than the previous one (6 minutes and 35.18 seconds), but also the first time that a production car crossed the track in less than 6 minutes and 30 seconds.

There are few super-powerful cars that could set lap times close to or better than the Mercedes-AMG One in the future, and some of them are the Porsche Mission X, Aston Martin Valkyrie or the Rimac Nevera R.

Mercedes Vision One-Eleven

Mercedes recently unveiled the Vision One-Eleven concept model, which many believe will not enter production, at least not anytime soon. It is a reminder of Mercedes’ experimental prototype C111, which the German company made half a century ago in 16 copies for the purposes of testing various engine technologies and technical solutions.

Experimental C111 prototypes were powered by a variety of mid-mounted gasoline and diesel engines, including a Wankel engine. The most powerful version was powered by a 4.8-liter V8 turbo gasoline engine with 500 hp (373 kW), and at the Nardò Ring in 1979, the car achieved a speed of 403.78 km/h (250.958 mph) and a lap time of 1 minute and 56.67 seconds.

Two decades later, at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes unveiled a production sports car, the C112. However, despite a large number of interested parties, the company abandoned the project.

For now, there is not enough information about this car, but it is known that the two-seater will be powered by four YASA electric motors with a total power of about 2,000 hp (1,471 kW).

Mercedes-AMG has delivered the first example of the model One

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.
