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.
