Unveiling the Mercedes AMG ONE: The Ultimate Hypercar

Introduction

Back in 2017, Mercedes shocked the world with a hypercar that would bring F1-like performance to the road - the AMG ONE. Five years since its reveal at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes has announced that the mind-boggling hypercar has entered production. Why are we using the words ‘mind-boggling’? Then sit back and let your mind be blown by the AMG ONE’s performance numbers.

Performance Specifications

Engine and Powertrain

The AMG ONE features an F1-derived V6 turbo hybrid engine that has been slightly modified to meet Euro 6 emissions standards. The powertrain consists of:

• A single-turbo V6 engine producing 566 horsepower.
• A quartet of electric motors:
  • Two front-wheel motors generating a combined 322 hp.
  • A third motor contributing 161 hp to the crankshaft.
  • A fourth motor linked to the turbocharger that adds 121 hp.

Battery and Electric Range

The AMG ONE also features an 8.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, allowing the car to travel 11 miles (18 kilometers) on electric power alone. The powertrain redlines at an astonishing 11,000 rpm.

Acceleration and Speed

As a result of its advanced engineering:

• 0-60 mph takes just 2.9 seconds.
• 0-124 mph can be achieved in only 7 seconds.
• The top speed reaches up to 219 mph (352 km/h).
