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.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance with 952 HP

The German tuning company Opus Automotive decided to deal with the most powerful sedan from the Mercedes range, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance. It is the second most powerful Mercedes-AMG after the super powerful model One.

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 turbo petrol engine that, in combination with the electric motor, delivers a total of 831 hp (620 kW) and 1,033 lb-ft (1,400 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. The tuner’s engineers did not deal with the electric motor that delivers 201 hp (148 kW) and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm), but increased the power of the petrol engine from 630 hp to 758 hp. So now the tuned four-seater has 952 hp (700 kW) and an electronically limited 1,143 lb-ft (1,550 Nm) of torque.

The increase in power also brought better car performance. The base GT 63 S E Preformance reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, while the tuned model reaches the same speed in 2.7 seconds. Also, the top speed was increased from 196 mph (316 km/h) to over 199 mph (320 km/h).

Meanwhile, Mercedes has started delivering its fastest car, the Mercedes-AMG One, and all 275 units produced have already been sold. It 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.
