Five years after its first introduction, Mercedes-Benz has officially launched the commercial version of the Mercedes-AMG ONE hypercar.
After 5 years and many delays, the Mercedes-AMG ONE super product has been launched with impressive design and performance parameters. |
The car uses a lot of technology from Formula 1 racing, especially the 1.6L V6 engine and auxiliary electric motors. |
The difficulties come from fine-tuning the F1 engine to suit street use, emission standards, quality and longevity of mechanical parts… |
In terms of exterior, the production version of the Mercedes-AMG ONE is quite similar to previous concept versions. The vehicle’s weight reaches 1,695 kg. |
The AMG ONE features a special two-tone paint job with Mercedes-Benz logos. This option was previously available on the GT Black Series P One Edition. |
Many details play a role in optimizing aerodynamic capabilities such as front wheel vents, rear spoiler with 3 adjustment levels: Highway, Track and Race DRS. |
The car comes standard with 10-spoke aluminum alloy wheels with carbon fiber aerodynamic covers. Nine-spoke magnesium alloy wheels are a higher-end option. |
The rear of the car has been tweaked with some details such as the upper border of the taillight system, the wind diffuser and the large exhaust pipe in F1 style… |
Removable carbon fiber engine cover, integrated with NACA air vent design technology typical of the aviation industry. |
The interior is minimalist with a dashboard and a 10-inch central screen. Materials used in this position include Dinamica fiber, carbon fiber and high-quality Nappa leather. |
The sports seats are made of carbon fiber to optimize the weight of the car. The backrest can be adjusted to 2 degrees of tilt (25 degrees and 30 degrees). |
The steering wheel inherits the design from Formula 1 cars. The function keys are fully equipped to adjust operating and comfort features. |
The car is still fully equipped with amenities such as Burmester sound system, air conditioning, 2 USB ports, fire extinguisher… The accelerator pedal can be moved as desired. |
Since there is no rear windshield, the driver must use the real-time MirrorCam feature to observe the areas behind the vehicle. |
Mercedes-AMG ONE is equipped with a 1.6L V6 internal combustion engine, 574 horsepower capacity and a rev limit of up to 11,000 rpm. |
The car is equipped with 4 additional electric motors: 1 on the crankshaft (MGU-K), 1 on the exhaust turbo (MGU-H) and 2 on the front axle (MGU-FL/MGU-FR). |
These parts have capacities of 163 horsepower, 122 horsepower and 326 horsepower respectively, giving the car a total capacity of up to 1,063 horsepower. |
AMG equips the car with a brand new 7-speed automatic transmission with integrated differential lock, with the front axle powered by a pair of electric motors. |
The AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system can vary each wheel independently according to road conditions. |
The driver can adjust the suspension in three levels: Comfort, Sport and Sport+. The front and rear axles can be lowered by 37 mm and 30 mm respectively, helping to improve aerodynamics. |
The car has 6 driving modes including Race Safe, Race, EV, Race Plus, Strat 2 and Individual. The RACE START feature helps the AMG ONE accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. |
The car uses a high voltage of 800 V, instead of the usual 400 V. Thanks to the 8.4 kWh battery pack, EV mode is capable of traveling a maximum distance of 18.1 km. |
The system supports the ability to regenerate energy when the vehicle decelerates thanks to the pair of electric motors on the front axle at a rate of up to 80%. |
Only 275 Mercedes-AMG ONEs will be produced, with prices starting at around $2.72 million . The car will be on display at the Goodwood Festival later this June. |
