FIRST LOOK: Mercedes-AMG One - 1063hp Hypercar With F1 Engine Is FINALLY Finished! | Top Gear
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2024
- This is the really very final production version of the 1,000bhp+ Mercedes-AMG One. That’s right, on AMG’s 55th anniversary comes the long-awaited hyper-F1 car for the road. Not a figure of speech, but a fact, because the AMG One famously uses the 1.6-litre turbo hybrid V6 from Hamilton’s F1 car. Well, when Hamilton’s F1 car was fast. AMG worked closely with the F1 bods at Brixworth to build a turbocharged combustion engine with four electric motors: one on the turbo, another on the engine and two driving the front wheels, each able to spin up to 50,000rpm. The whipcrack quick V6 is mounted in the middle, and revs to 11,000rpm - a little shy of Murray’s T.50 and the Aston Martin Valkyrie, but still. Eleven thousand. More F1 tech arrives in the shape of the MGU-K, which harvests surplus exhaust gas energy and stores it in the battery or feeds it straight into the electrified front axle. With everything singing together - MGU-K, MGU-H, front axle motors and engine - the whole thing punches out 1,048bhp. Hilariously, AMG can’t tell us the torque figure because of the “complex drivetrain”. That’s right, the One is too complex for human minds. Estimated performance figures are as follows: 0-62mph in 2.9s, 0-124mph in 7.0s, 0-186mph in 15.6s and a top speed of 219mph. On the other end of the scale, it’s capable of just over 11 miles on battery power alone, while combined emissions stand at 198g/km. And how does this 1,695kg monster look? ‘Muscular’ is how AMG describes it, and there’s no denying its presence. Low, wide with a ‘wasp’ waist designed for optimum aero efficiency, it’s said to generate downforce from as little as 31mph. Which should make the drive to your weekly shop very entertaining. It’s been a long time coming, but has the wait been worth it? We sent Top Gear Magazine’s Jack Rix to find out…

Currently cross-shopping between this car and a 2006 Volvo V70. Very useful to get an in-depth look so I can make my decision a little better.
Very hard but dump the family and get this
Volvo has cup holders that can fit any cup. AMG one doesnt. Volvo can go through a drive through easy. AMG one cant. Seems like an open shut case to me
Nice flex 💪
get the Volvo sir
Let's not beat around the bush, the Volvo is the better car. Looks way better too.
I want to hear clarkson talk about it. About how its got more power than a sun, and is as slippery as an eel coated in vegetable oil, a powertrain as complicated as an interstellar spaceship's.
I think you're ready to be the next Clarkson with these descriptions
Bruh😂😂
Nailed the Clarkson metaphors lol
The most technologically advanced car...
In the whorldh....
I read that in Clarkson's voice 😂
One thing I did read about the AMG one was, after 30k miles the engine requires a rebuild. I'm amazed they can get a road version of an F1 engine to last that long!
Got to love German engineering.
U won’t drive it 30000 miles
They lowered the redline from 15000rpm to 11000rpm (current f1 limit is actually lifted to 18000rpm since 2021). The current turbo hybrid era engines generally are good for about 1050hp. The one in the Project One is detuned to be about half of that.
When they launched the concept in 2017, they said development would take 18 months so that it would be in production in 2019. It actually got delayed by three years and it's quite a challenge to get the F1 engine to be suitable for a hyper car.
@@riccccccardo this car is built in the uk
For those of the I wipe my ass with $100 bills club, Take them 10 yrs to rack up 30k miles
This is what will make the future AMG cars in a new level. I still remember when Porsche came up with the 918 and how inheritance was great throughout their race cars after.
Are you stupid or what? Porshe 918 is 12 yo and it's BETTER IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. Lighter, faster, cheaper xD
I don't think there's been a time in history when so many wildly different strategies have been used to compete for the title of ultimate production car. This using F1 tech, the Valkyrie's big V12, the T.50 using fans, the Evija going full EV... we're going to have some amazing group tests over the next few years.
2023 Roadster ⚡🔥🇺🇸
Reminds me of when the P1, Venono, 918, and LaFerrari started using hybrid technology around the same time
@@JDub3799 Indeed, but the 'holy trinity' were all mild hybrids and were very closely matched in performance. My suspicion is that one of this new batch will be way quicker round a track than the others, but I honestly have no idea which one.
Also consider a strategy the SSC Tuatara using numbers pulled out of their ass
we don`t need to talk about the Evija
As has already been said, the F1 drivers are always complaining that the safety car is too slow… I think this may solve the problem 🏁🏁
This would still be too slow.
This or the Rimac Nevera...
why not both 😮
@@larssonk22 are you out of your mind???? The rimac is WAAAAAAY slower than the amg one in a rece track. It's just fast in a straight line. It weights way too much for the track. A 911 would be enough to beat the nevera in a circuit
@@tommasol9701 a 911 beating the nevera? Don't think so
@@DAventador44 if you think that’s the case why does the nevera hold no track records?
That "F1 engine into a road car" question was answered for me by the guy in Manchester who managed to shove a Cosworth V8 into a Mk1 Escort in the early 80's . . . It snorted and popped, danced at standstill, and vanished down Wilbraham Road like something from a science fiction film . . .
This just makes Gordon Murray look even more like a genius
Yeah, the T50 and an Ariel Atom or Nomad can sit on the other end of the scales and still be lifted by the ONE :)
Imagine this as the safety car in f1 😮
Good question.
Hopefully it is :)
@@NotGreen96 optimistic but possible!
Then Safety car is gonna win the race😂
Nope EV are too susceptible to go up in flames.
Looks alright, but I think I'll stick with my current beast and dream car. A beautiful Peugeot 306 HDI estate, simply an amazing car and unlike a flashy new Merc. Has a unique weight distribution technology, so the faster it goes the more bits fall off to save on weight.
Active weight delete
The same with my Citroen C3 ...
My mk1 mx5 has the same thing active speed corrosion
Exquisite engineering.
Such a good car Randi.
I’m pretty sure one of the senior engineers is quoted as saying if they knew how difficult the project was going to be they wouldn’t have attempted it. Still, hats off to AMG for getting it done.
At least AMG changed the project manager for the One at least once. See IAA 2017 ua-cam.com/video/5KIFePpcos0/v-deo.html
This reminds me of the LFA. Designed to bring F1 tech to the road, overbudget, delivered too late, everyone complaining about the spec sheet on launch. Well, I expect once they stop selling them people will put it up on a pedestal just like they did with the Toyota.
They have all been sold.
Haven't heard single bad thing about this car yet, so don't understand your point. LFA has nothing to do with F1.
@@yoomoron LFA was directly developed by the engineers who worked on Toyota's F1 team in the facilities they built for F1. The idea was to bring F1 tech to a road car including the excitement of a high revving V10 engine.
@@wiegraf9009 You are seriously comparing front engined mid-size coupe to F1? LFA shares 0 components with any F1 car. The engine/layout/suspension/aero are all done differently in F1/Project ONE.
Not sure who's complaining already. Probably some youtubers hungry for "engagement" on their vids haha? A car is so much more than a spec sheet. No matter how much power is thrown at that chubby Bugatti, it'll never have the F1 credentials or technology this car does
Massive massive respect to Mercedes for attempting and being successful for putting an F1 engine in a car and making it available to (some) people.
They should do a public tour for all F1 fans around the world, its a public service for us.
but did they? 1700kg. that's a porker. 1990 lexus LS was barely heavier.
@@hagestad well, you can still say"hey I've got an F1 engine here!"
And it was a good Video until he mentioned that VILE TWAT Hamilton. So a Thumbs Down for that!!
No man. this car is frighteningly underwhelming as it stands on its paper stats. they better get some lap times released cause this car is the furthest thing from impressive if you just glance over at its competitors.
@@CITRUS-- let’s wait and see. The 918 is also disappointing on paper compared to the P1 and Laferrari, but it’s been proven time and time again that it’s the fastest of the 3, despite being much heavier and have less power.
I literally want to give him a hug everytime he says "vehicle" 😅

A real testament to not just the designers and engineers, but also the management for committing to the project, which I guess cost an insane amount of money to see through to completion.
This is one of those time if I was a car journo I'd be reminded of how much I love my job. I mean, even as a viewer, i get goosebumps from just watching this video on a small phone screen & listening to this Merc gentleman displaying his knowledge of the car.
"We somehow strapped a catalytic converter to an F1 car and made it push 1000hp"
The Germans are madlads
The engine doesn't push 1000hp, the power unit does
As he says. This engine may touch 500 hp if lucky. It may not even reach that. 4 electric motors on there to add up to 1063 hp with the ICE.
I bet they worked for years to set up the software so that the ICE would be charging the batteries all the time, as to not end up in situations where there is only 450 hp left while starting the long straight of the Nordschleife. Porsche 918 ran out of boost there, but still had 600+ hp to push their lighter-than-ONE car.
This ONE project started with confidence from winning F1 and immediately became a project to limit humiliation. I can't say it's looking successful. A 3-lap Nordschleife shoot-out against the Ferrari SF90 (similar concept, but super cheap in comparison) could get really sad for ONE.
Hit the nail right on the head there ↑
@@Cloxxki it’s also been almost a decade since the P1/918. I wonder how much of an improvement is this over those cars
AMG is English, the Germans just get to put their badge in the front.
And now we finally wanna see it being driven the way it was intended to
Was very disappointed when Chris Harris didn't stroll onto set opening scene.

I admire the relentless pursuit of simplicity in this day and age. Maintenance should be doable on my driveway.
Gotta love the A Class indicator stalks in a 2.5m car.
It's all Mercedes-Benz. Of course it shares a lot. But nice try.
Imagine how pity/pathetic someone has to be to ignore all of that beautiful engineering feats and just focus on the smaller picture just so they could point fingers and feel good about themselves. Typical internet behavior
Maybe they were originally designed for the One and trickled down to the A Class?
They are not gona change whole production of indicator stalks just for 275 production cars. Like lamborghini and bentley dont use same stalks from their groups.
@@mariinito4291 always the ones who couldn't even own the A class that criticize this
T50 weighs 986kg. This weighs 1700kg; shockingly over 700 kg more. Regardless of the power differential, the AMG One is just too heavy.
Have you seen the video of them "stress-testing" the T50? Good lord do they beat on that thing! Takes it like a champ
T50 for the win! Besides that V12@12000 sound!
T50 is going to sleigh this obese car. They took forever to make a car which is redundant
This Mercedes is pushing technology forward. The T50 is just a proper engineered car.
@@N7Sound There is nothing "just" about a properly engineered car. The AMG One is a one-off overweight white elephant of overly engineered and overly complex technology.
What a beautiful vehicle from Mercedes-AMG since the CLK-GTR. Keep up the great work.
It's a lot heavier than I thought it would be
I expected 1400kg at most
Yes bit underwhelming car.
@@Deeveeaar it will still be nightmarishly fast. look at that aero, no mention of torque either
What would you expect from a hybrid roadcar
@@user-ve9tu5rv6e At least similar weight as the older 918 P1 LaFerrari from 5 years ago?
So an F1 engine in a vehicle that ways 1700kg, what’s the point of that? Seems like the hybrid part isn’t just a feature, but necessary…
I know that I'll never be able to drive this but just to see this live would be amazing!!!
Would love to see Stig drive the course on this. Will it be the fastest?
Aston Martin Valkyrie is still a much more excting proposition. Screaming V12, the crazy F1/LMP esque bodywork.
Yeah looks much better to, this looks alittle to mellow against those .
that’s a special special car. i really hope i see one out on the open road at some point in my life. absolutely gorgeous thing. straight in my top 10
I was part of the team that worked on the first campaign images for this car back in 2016/17 (The animations you see at 1:25 also done by the same team). Slightly sick of the sight of the car, but glad they've finally overcome the issues and got it on the road.
i've been waiting since 2018 for this beaut. I'd still get the gt3 rs weissach 23 over this anyday but mercedes has done an exceptional job at putting together this great piece of machinery!. The higher rpm reserve really sells this bad boy.
So the Aston Martin Valkyrie weighs substantially less, makes more power, and sounds far better. I know which one I’d choose, although most owners are probably getting both.
The Valkyrie doesn't work. This does.
@@Scotracer1987 on what do you base that?
@@Scotracer1987 there actually being delivered now.
This car may suffer from 959/918/SLR syndrome. Yes, it's the least interesting on paper, but historically the boring options have turned out to be the superior choice in the long run.
Valkyrie actually weigh heavier than they said before since they won't even disclose the new, updated weight.
Must have been tempting to quietly give up and pretend they didn't want to do it, so good for them for getting it made.
They stuck with it through 5 years of setbacks, insane

It's 1700kg. I remember then the Mercedes SLR came out and everyone said it was too fat to compete with the focused Enzo and Carrera GT. They were right, at least on track. However also about 1700kg it was designed to be this super easy to drive two pedal comfy luxury car with a big boot, totally usable everyday. No matter what they say in this video about the 'practicality' of some Mercedes family switch gear (read: cost savings like the SLR) isn't this supposed to be a track focused dynamic weapon? With an engine and driving position, racing style steering wheel like that? So yes, this seems oddly heavy. That's where the Valkyrie and T.50 probably walks all over this on a track and driving enjoyment as they are less compromised on weight. If this is heavier as it is supposed be more usable it doesn't look it.
Fun fact: a while ago, while the AMG One was still being developed, they said it's gonna be around 1300 kilograms.
It's almost 400 kilograms heavier now.
@@janiron1899 This is basically what I understood. At 1300kg it's totally a track weapon and devastating driving machine like the Valkyrie. At 1700kg it's nearly as heavy as a freaking SLR which has a boot big enough to put golf clubs in and is so easy to drive Paris Hilton famously rolled about in one all the time! Not to mention the SLR has a big displacement engine with a giant heavy supercharger designed originally for road use. Whereas this has a tiny power unit designed to be as light, compact and efficient as possible for the absolute bleeding edge of single seat racing. How comes the final thing is so heavy?
That's ridiculously heavy, it's a barge! The Gordon Murray car is about 1000kg or less, it would drive circles around this.
It's actually lighter than I thought. You can see any electric car is near 2k kgs due to battery weight.
@@pgr3290 tmk it is 1300kg dry, around 3:49 is your answer for the weight which is with all fluids
I was so hyped for this car. Really shows what Mercedes’ is capable of
Now that they're struggling in the sport lol

Ordered mine yesterday, can't wait to get it!
when he goes to track mode it reminds me of Knight Riders car "kit" when he goes Into super speed mode lol.. absolutely love it
I vaguely remember this being announced at a target weight of like 1200 kg. Reality has not been kind, if my memory serves me right.
they also claimed in 2017 that the car could go 0-200km/h in under 6s... 2.9s to 100km/h is just slow for the amount of power. Yes it's an F1 Engine but performance wise you can get an sf90 with 1000hp for way less.
@@joku3151 And it's not exactly an F1 engine everyone was lusting after. Effective, yes. Sexy? Not really.
@@joku3151 I would bet it can. The emission problem with euro 5 is a big problem.
I dont understand this car, it seems it is going to have excelent performance, but at the same time there isnt enough to differentiate from competitors. It seems similar to a 918 Spyder, but the 918 has been around for 9 years now.
I expected more from Mercedes
@@lilosch Yeah, 918 was my first comparison as well... But way less sexy engine in the Mercedes.

Ohhh, that is pure beauty!
Against any normal supercar, having an "F1 engine" would be very special. But compared to the crazy Cosworth V12s in the T50 and Valkyrie, I can't help but think a 1.6L V6 will feel a bit dry no matter the performance. No doubt it was incredibly difficult to integrate the powertrain into a road car, and I'm sure it will be very effective, but it isn't the same as an F1 car now they have had to civilise it for the road. I think the 11k+ rpm V12s will beat this for excitement, drama and noise.
Agree 101% !!
Yea but i dont think you gonna have fun if you go drive the car for the afternoon and you have a 11k+ rpm V12 behind you screaming for 4 hours

Q: What happens when you put an F1 engine in a road car?
A: Deliver an expensive, heavy car, late, that no longer has headline grabbing performance figures vs the competition... and (from a marketing point of view) at a time when the F1 team is no longer winning.
At least it looks pretty.
Yea...why make it AWD, with added cost and complexity and weight? F1 cars are RWD. Quite an odd choice.
It was always going to be one massive set of headaches and compromises. I reckon designing a normal hypercar must be child's play in comparison.
@@randomperson9820 likely the compromises of a race engine vs a road engine. Producing big power from a tiny engine is feasible if it's highly tuned and not intended to last for more than a few hours of running. Detuning the engine (and replacing some components for tougher/heavier parts designed to last longer) would result in a drop in power, so they needed some other way of bringing the power back up to something close to what the F1 car has (otherwise it would look bad in comparison). Basically, there's a reason why road cars don't use race engines - they're intended to produce maximum power in the lightest and smallest possible package, but with the compromise of very limited lifetime.
@@randomperson9820 It doesn't have the F1 tires or 3 tons of downforce, so it makes some sense to make it Awd
They sold all of them and gained a lot of knowledge for future AMG cars. Still a huge success, playing the long game as always...

In this category of cars, the Aston Valkyrie is still my favorite. A marvel of engineering and design IMO and of course 1:1 power to weight ratio and an absurd amount of downforce.

its all about driving "a street legal f1 car"
The V12 engines in the Valkyrie and the GMA T.50 are impressive, but those wild engines were designed to be street legal from the beginning. The whole appeal of the AMG One is that it has an actual Formula One race engine in it.
@@EpicB but it doesn't, it's roughly based on it, but that's about it

Surprised by the weight considering this was originally touted as a rival to the AM Valkyrie. Both the Valkyrie and T.50 seem much more focused but the AMG One has an air of compromise, amazing technology but for what purpose?
T.50 is just a "driver's car" but by virtue of its weight will absolutely rip around a lap, and to high speed, on "only" 650 hp or so. The fan aero will give it more downforce than most cars that are also nice a slick at high speed.
Valkyrie is like an LMP1 racecar with much cooler V12 sound and tiny hybrid boost, mostly for torque fill I guess. Barely room for 2 people but downforce to rival top race cars while faster in a straight line.
ONE is just a VERY late one-up on the Porsche 918 with a huge caveat: they HAD to do a 1.6 V6 which will make their car very vulnerable on longer runs. They seem to compensate with four virtue signaling hybrid motors, but unless you are on a Formula E track, those batteries are going to run out and the WEAK 1.6 V6 will be exposed. They threw on loads of batteries for more virtue signaling and ended up with a car that weighs as much as a 4-seat all-electric family car.
ONE is heavier than a much cheaper Ferrari SF90, it seems, but one board it will not seem a whole lot better. The stopwatch may not even be impressed. I really wonder where those 400-500 kilograms all went into that ONE, from first presentation to now production...

Monaco is terrible we all knew that. they have developed the fastest car in the grid. it handles very well in corners. if k mag didn't crash into Lewis in Barcelona merc would've been on top by now. we just need some good tracks and we are set.
No it's ironic that it took so long because it's also a slow car for modern hypercar standards..
@@Zooom88 Monaco shows they didn’t fix it
would love to see the service schedule
AMG One Wolverine lol
MB never disappoints
Excellent job Marco beautiful ride
Looks like a lot of fun to drive
That rear end is sexy
Front end reminds me of the beauty of the gt40 no diss
Gt40 still one of the prettiest vehicles ever made
The cabin is perfection
I'm not much of a car guy, but I thought it would have more of a one-to-one power to weight ratio i.e. 1200hp to 1200 kgs
Think that'd be copying Koenigsegg too much
It's just extremely hard to accomplish. Plus the main goal was implementing the engine, which probably takes a lot of extra weight as far as implementing it into the car to make it road legal
@@koenigseggdubstep9837 No one cares about koenigssegg, irrelevant company compared to giants like bmw and Mercedes
@@unfresh1674 then there is absolutely nothing to be gained from using a throwaway F1 engine
@@E9X330 the point of using the f1 engine was to flex that it has a f1 engine. Which is worthy accomplishment on its own. Considering that I'm sure this engine won't shit itself as quickly cuz it's not a race car. It's a street car
I just think it represents a modern interpretation of a Mclaren P1. The battle of the 1000hp hypercar hybrid was nearly 10 years ago with the trilogy.
Great to see it come to light, but i worry its a little too late.
Its more like the 918, as they are both 4 wheel drive with electric motors on the front axle. The SF90 is also a similar, concept with around the same power for a lot less money.
@@CharlieBeveridge yeah I agree, more like 918 and sf90. The AMG one is just a bit underwhelming from the looks of it in this video. SF90 has about the same power, faster 0-60, around the same weight for significantly less. Amg’s electrified ventures so far has been very disappointing (gt63e, AMG one, upcoming c63s).
@@haotianxie6684 you’re missing the point tbh. it’s def an LFA situation where it’s about the experience more than the numbers i think. i mean it’s an F1 engine
I agree and I think now it's going to be about handling characteristics.
@@censoredialogue maybe, but I’ve driven the lfa, the engine is great, sound fantastic, build quality is great but the whole thing falls apart when you use the gear box. Same deal with this car, I suspect the weight will be it’s ultimate downfall.
My main issue with this car is the price and exclusivity. 2.3m is too excessive. The lfa you use as argument only costs 300k when new. The amg one is NOT made to be driven with this price (let alone the markup) and exclusivity. It is designed to be a garage queen/bragging right, meant to be kept with double digit mileage. None of the amg super car before this are like it, it betrayed what I liked about the brand. That’s why I dislike it so much. I brought up the sf90 because it is actually feasible to use on the track and I wished this car is more like the sf90. It starts at 605k, reasonable albeit still expensive. But I do see sf90 being taken to the track and you can get it if you really wanted. I’ve been a long time customer of amg, having owned 6 of them, never even got offered to buy this at all. Whereas with Ferrari, I only ever bought 3, they still offered me the allocation for a sf90 spider. I think I’ll take up on it. Cheers.
I couldn't help but chuckle everytime this guy says "WEEHICLE" 😄
Another level this car...😯
My favorite of the new hypercars. So happy to see this actually becoming reality!
why would you be happy? will you own one?
@@0710442022 I think most of us are happy because we can have it in the next racing game and the only people to drive these are going to be football players and rappers
@@dardoura for a car to be in a racing game you don't have to be happy about the real thing. I probably just don't understand.
And I doubt that footballers or rapper will drive these. More the sheiks and oligarchs of this world.
@@0710442022 they could be happy because their proud of Mercedes’. I certainly don’t know personally anyone who could afford one nor do I have the money but I’m happy Mercedes’ gained themselves new competitors by making another…. (Based on mercedes’s specs) HyperCar since they hadn’t made that was similar in specs and had exotic car look since the SLR and I’m also happy it’s officially done and models have been delivered because it means sooner then later this year more and more reviews will be done on the car.
Wow. This car’s performance is way more disappointing than I anticipated. Still gorgeous though.
Are you basing your comment on horsepower numbers only? Cause nothing in this video shows or talks about performance
@@jscd1008 he said 0-62 @ 2.9😏. And 0-124 at. ?
@@AZVIDS @fiske at 7 .something seconds, both of which are good for a car that is built not only for high top speeds but also cornering speed and ability.
@@AZVIDS FMaster summarized well, we’ll see performance on a track (hopefully soon)
I imagine the straight line performance estimates are conservative. I imagine this car will hit 100 kph at least several tenths quicker than 2.9 seconds. 2.9 is nothing these days.
Yeah been waitin on this one.
That's Knight Rider super pursuit mode right there 😄
i want to see track times now, so excited to see what performance it can deliver
go to Nurburgring first
0:69 sec nurburgring lap time

Also wasnt this supposed to be lighter? I dont understand this car, it seems it is going to have excelent performance, but at the same time there isnt enough to differentiate from competitors. It seems similar to a 918 Spyder, but the 918 has been around for 9 years now.
I expected more from Mercedes
Exactly my thoughts. It’s basically a much less comfortable SF90 that’s only gimmick is having some F1 tech.
Don’t get me wrong, I love F1 - but everything is designed with restrictions in mind. They could have built a MUCH faster car if they just designed everything from the ground up instead of restricting themselves to an already existing hybrid 1.6L.
I expect that 765LT would keep up with this in a straight line for the most part - and it will probably be quicker round a track considering it’s like 500kg lighter (not to mention that it’s less than 1/5 the price). Waiting to see how this Project One actually performs in real life because it doesn’t exactly seem impressive on paper.
it just seems too heavy. Even lotus has managed to make an all electric car, which is probably going to be faster neatly 500kg less than this. The GMA T50 is 700gk less and the Valkyrie is 600kg less. the car just doesn't fit in. the only car it might be better than (around a track) would be the T50, but that was designed for driving enjoyment.
Correct. Mercedes is 10 years late to the party with this thing 🤦🏾♂️
This car is seriously overhyped. 1063 HP with electric motors which need regen, for 1700kg DRY? 1900 wet with driver and fuel? An SF90 will obliterate this thing.
The weight of the AMG One is not too far from some hybrid and electric cars. The problem is that is needs 6 catalytic converters, 2 filters, a heating system for these and 4 eletric motors, but to fit a real F1 engine into a car it is what it is.
Absolutely gorgeous and a proper successor to the CLK GTR... You can literally look at this car and imagine when the GTR 1st came out and saying what would it look like 20 years from now.... And this beast would be it...👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I was actually looking into trading in my 2004 Ford Fiesta for this car. Thank you for the video, just ordered my AMG ONE.
1700kg? Slower than a Chiron? I don’t think the Valkyrie or T.50 have anything to worry about here. Total missed opportunity!
Downforce
@@YASEEN_ZA I don’t think this would not what way a T.50S or a Valkyrie went
And it only costs $5 million!!! 🤣😂🤣 One overpriced piece of shit because it will never be worth what it costs. IDC how advanced it is. Fuck off, AMG.
slower than a 765lt 0-200 lol

Exactly the F1 development you really don't want in a street car, because what's on the market from Korea, Sweden and Croatia is just better :)
why would you be happy? there's a better chance to live in Mars than get your hands on one of these cars.
@@Cloxxki lul sure bud
I was chatting to the AMG salesman at Mercedes-Benz World Brooklands today, and he has a client that has bought one. It's going to be doing Power Laps on the MB race track if anyone wants to see it........watch this space!

I was thinking about what I should get for my first car. Currently between this and the Corsa.

@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Obviously not as is. But it is very very similar to GR010, In fact the engine has more power. But the motors in the front are less powerful by 100hp
