Key-facts

The Mercedes-AMG ONE show car brings the very latest efficient, fully-fledged Formula 1 hybrid technology from the race track to the road

The two-seater high-performance hybrid produces over 1,000 hp and reaches top speeds of beyond 217 mph

The complex development work was carried out in close cooperation with the Formula 1 experts at
Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains in Brixworth and with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 team in Brackley

The Mercedes-AMG ONE is the first Formula 1 car with MOT approval.

Together with the four-door AMG GT Concept, the Mercedes-AMG ONE provides another insight into the future performance-hybrid drive strategy of the sports car brand

The 1.6-litre V6 hybrid petrol engine with direct injection and electrically assisted single turbocharging comes directly from the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 racing car

The vehicle is mid-engined (ahead of the rear axle) and it can easily reach speeds of 11,000 rpm, which is currently unique for a road-going vehicle

The battery cells, their arrangement and the cell cooling system are the same as used in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 racing car. However, the quantity of battery cells in the AMG ONE make it significantly more practical for everyday use

Power is transferred to the rear wheels by an 8-speed manual transmission which has been developed especially for the Mercedes-AMG ONE. It is activated hydraulically and can be operated in automated mode or manually using the shift paddles

The basis for the outstanding driving characteristics of the Mercedes-AMG ONE is provided by the lightweight, high-strength carbon-fibre monocoque body, the technology of which also comes from Formula 1

Another completely new development is the 10-spoke forged aluminium wheel with centre lock, which is exclusively reserved for the Mercedes-AMG ONE. This improves the car’s aerodynamics and C_dfigure by optimising the airflow around the wheels.

The car is equipped with an advanced, weight-optimised ceramic high-performance compound braking system. Its low weight reduces the unsprung masses, thus improving driving dynamics and agility.
