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.

The delivery of the Mercedes-AMG One will begin soon

Mercedes premiered its powerful concept One 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. Since then, the car has undergone many changes, and Mercedes-AMG has announced that it will produce only 275 copies of this model.

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 Mercedes-AMG One is one of the fastest road cars in the world, and everyone is waiting for it to show its performance on the most famous Nürburgring Nordschleife race track. 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.

Each car will go through 16 stations for assembly and testing, something like the production process of luxury watches. More than 50 people work in the production of the Mercedes-AMG One, and after assembly, each car will be tested.

Although it was announced that the first copies would reach their owners at the end of last year, that did not happen. The reason is technical problems that caused a halt in development. In the meantime, AMG has finally managed to solve all the technical problems and the delivery can start.
