Mercedes-AMG One
The Mercedes-AMG One represents the ultimate convergence of Formula 1 technology and road-legal performance. This hypercar brings the complete F1 powertrain - including the 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 hybrid engine - directly to public roads, making it the most technologically advanced production car ever built.
F1 Power Unit
At the heart of the AMG One is Mercedes’ championship-winning F1 power unit. The 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine produces 574 horsepower on its own, but when combined with four electric motors, the total system output reaches an astonishing 1,063 horsepower and 1,478 Nm of torque.
Hybrid Architecture
The AMG One uses a sophisticated hybrid system:
- ICE (Internal Combustion Engine): 1.6L V6 turbocharged engine
- MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit - Kinetic): Integrated with turbocharger
- MGU-H (Motor Generator Unit - Heat): Energy recovery from exhaust gases
- Battery System: 8.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack
F1 Aerodynamics
The car’s aerodynamics are directly derived from F1, featuring active elements that adjust based on speed and driving conditions. The front splitter, rear wing, and underbody work together to generate up to 1,100 kg of downforce at high speeds.
Advanced Technology
- F1-Style DRS (Drag Reduction System): Adjustable rear wing for optimal speed
- Active Suspension: Hydraulic system with F1-sourced components
- Carbon-Ceramic Brakes: Massive 16.3-inch rotors with titanium calipers
- F1 Transmission: 8-speed automated manual with lightning-fast shifts
Track Performance
Designed for circuit use, the AMG One can lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife in under 6 minutes. Its hybrid system allows for incredible acceleration and regenerative braking capabilities that surpass even the most advanced electric hypercars.
Production and Exclusivity
Only 275 AMG Ones will be built, each priced at approximately €2.75 million. Each car is hand-assembled at the Mercedes-AMG factory in Affalterbach, with extensive personalization options available.
Engineering Achievements
- Most Powerful Hybrid Production Car: 1,063 hp combined output
- F1 Technology Transfer: Direct application of racing technology
- Advanced Energy Recovery: Multiple hybrid systems working in harmony
- Extreme Performance: 0-200 km/h in under 7 seconds
Variants and Future
While the AMG One stands alone as the ultimate expression of F1-on-the-road technology, Mercedes has hinted at future iterations that may include even more advanced hybrid systems and performance enhancements.
The Mercedes-AMG One proves that the future of automotive performance lies in the intelligent integration of multiple power sources, creating vehicles that are not just fast, but technologically revolutionary.
