Mercedes-amg one f1 hybrid

The Mercedes-AMG One is a hybrid hypercar that brings Formula 1 technology to the streets, combining a 1.6L twin-turbo V6 with four electric motors to deliver over 1,000 hp.

About this subject

The Mercedes-AMG One represents the pinnacle of automotive engineering, being the first road-legal vehicle to use an engine directly derived from Formula 1. Its heart is a 1.6-liter twin-turbo V6, the same unit used in Mercedes' championship-winning car in the 2014 F1 season, but adapted to run on standard gasoline and meet emission regulations. To this engine is added a hybrid system with four electric motors: one on the rear axle connected to the turbocharger (MGU-H) and another to the crankshaft (MGU-K), plus two independent motors at the front wheels. The result is a combined power output of 1,063 horsepower.

Performance is brutal: 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 352 km/h. But the One is not just about straight-line speed. Its active suspension, adaptive aerodynamics, and torque vectoring allow cornering worthy of a race car. The transmission is a seven-speed automated dual-clutch unit derived from F1. In "Strat 2" driving mode, the full potential is unleashed, with the V6 revving to 11,000 rpm.

Production was limited to 275 units, all sold before manufacturing even began, at a price exceeding 2.7 million euros. Each car is hand-assembled in Coventry, England, by the team from Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains. The development process faced enormous challenges to meet noise and emission regulations, taking longer than expected. The result is a milestone in automotive history: a road car that genuinely incorporates the DNA of Formula 1.
