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.
