Mercedes-AMG One, which will take to the streets as the fastest and most powerful car of the brand, is going into production close to the concept version.
The One project, for which Mercedes has been struggling with the development process for five years with the AMG team, finally has its dynamics ready for mass production. The automobile, which the brand describes as the most challenging project of recent years, claims to bring Formula 1 engine and engineering technology to the streets. If everything goes as planned, Mercedes-AMG One, which is expected to be delivered to its first owners in the last quarter of this year, will bring with it the badge of the fastest car to come out of the brand’s factory.
Mercedes-AMG One in Numbers
One, whose transition to production was interrupted due to changes in both engineering solutions and emission rules in a 5-year period, makes one say that it was definitely “worth the wait” at the last point reached. At the end of the day, the Mercedes-AMG team pulls out the state-of-the-art supercar that can be taught a lesson from its garage, and smiles at the end of the day. The car, which was exhibited for the first time as part of the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2017, appears to be largely faithful to its concept dynamics. In One, where the 1.6-liter V6 engine is projected onto the road without losing anything from Formula 1 engineering, a total of four electric motors located at different points will accompany the internal combustion unit. When all the parts come together, a combination that produces 1,063 PS power emerges. It is announced that the car accelerates from 0 to 100 in 2.9 seconds with this power, while 0-200 in 7 seconds and 0-300 in 15.6 seconds draw attention in the technical table. The fact that consumption values of 8.7 liters can be seen in a car that offers such limits is one of the indicators of the point reached on the engineering side of the process.

It was no doubt easy for the model, which is preparing to go down in history as the fastest mass production model of Mercedes, to obtain this badge. Increasing the speed record set 24 years ago with the CLK GTR as 344 km/h to 352 km/h, One reveals how challenging the engineering at the limits is. Using more electric motors than those used in the current Formula 1 vehicle, engineers prefer to place the array at different points. Its 120 hp engine is located between the turbocharger and the electric compressor. One of the 160 hp main power engines finds its place between the engine and the power transmission unit. We see that the other two electric motors approaching 160 horsepower are positioned on the front axle. According to the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, which is the last power record holder with the combination of these engines, all of which serve with a high performance focus, raising the bar by 330 horsepower is among the points we cannot pass without mentioning.
