AMG ONE [Official] Mercedes-AMG Project ONE


The Mercedes-AMG One (R50, previously known as Project One) is a limited-production plug-in dual hybrid sports car manufactured by Mercedes-AMG, featuring Formula One-derived technology. The Project One concept car was unveiled at the 2017 International Motor Show Germany by the then three-time F1 world champion and Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton and head of Mercedes-Benz, Dieter Zetsche. The production version of the AMG One was unveiled on June 1, 2022 and production began in August.
If only it had a proper engine
and if only it looked better. The AMG One is a major disappointment in styling inside and out for a Mercedes Benz. Its only unique selling point is the powertrain. The interior is a massive disappointment and looks cheap compared to other hypercars. It has crappy looking hubcap styled rims and looks hideous with black and the 3 pointed star livery on the back as well as the luminous blue outline on the wheels and lower part of the car.

It looks good in red with black lower trim though as well as the Silver arrow colour.
 
Replacement parts are pricey:

Just this one factory test - 0-300 in around 13.6 - 13.7 seconds

Judging by the timer and speed of the car taken just a split second before the car crosses the 1000m line it is travelling at 314km/h and 15.6sec.

So when it crosses the 1km post it could be at an indicated speed of 316 - 318km/h and 15.7sec. Much faster than the similar powered Revuelto and SF90.

Mercedes underrates the performance. The official claim is 7.0s 0-200 kph, while in this AMuS prototype test from 2020, they say it'll do that under 6 seconds.
Possible explanation is that maybe they quote the numbers for the fastest street legal drive mode, and then it gets faster once you switch to "Strat 2" for track-only driving.

Usually they underrate performance to set a minimum expectation of performance for all conditions. Particularly in extremely hot (or cold) climates that can impact performance.
 
Nico Rosberg if you read this please can you lend your car to Sport Auto for a few days and let them do a full Supertest around the N Ring and some acceleration figures all up to 300kmh.
 
Seems like AMG Ones are getting delivered to the USA.
