AMG ONE DRIVEN! Mr AMG on the F1 Powered Hyper Car!

AMG’s Hyper Car DRIVEN on the Nurburgring GP Circuit! Just saying that out loud baffles my mind, I can’t believe I’ve experienced it!
But will it be Flop or Future classic? The internet would have you believe the former. Critics list the many failings of the late #AMG #hypercar:
- Weight 1695 kg - too heavy for a track car.
- Same 0-200 as a 765LT, miles cheaper.
- A 0-60 of just 2.8 seconds
- £3 million, and requiring a service of 10’s of thousands every 5k, then an engine rebuild at 30k miles.
So with all its failings why did AMG make it THIS way? Food for thought. After all, the engine and format they chose meant it took them years to make the car road approved, and caused the car not to be certified for the USA customers in the end.
Instead AMG stuck at it, and forced the issue to make the #AMGONE as close to the 2016 F1 car in tech as possible. Along the way they’ve since used the same tech in upcoming vehicles like the new C43 engine, and the upcoming C63S hybrid using much of the same tech.
As it stands, the ONE is a 275 unit car at £3 million each. It’s something few of us will ever get to enjoy, but if done right stands to be a classic.
Formula 1 E Performance engine comes right out of F1 - 1.6 V6, 4 valves per cylinder
Electric exhaust turbo charger (shared with next C63) which revs to 11k! All through a tasty Titanium silencer.
The performance isn’t as simple as you’d think, the Total of 1063 BHP is made up of different parts of the system:
Combustion:- 574BHP
Front motors:- 326BHP
MGU-H :- 122BHP
MGU-K crankshaft :- 163BHP
They weren’t kidding when they said Hybrid! Much in the same way of Lewis’ car, the power comes through Various means. The resulting speed is:
0-60 2.9
0-200 km/h 7.0
0-300 km/h 15.6 s
Torque is not calculable as each part of the system produces its own amount. All that leads to the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ system.
EV moody is possible, via the 8.4kw lithium ion battery, only drives 18km in range but is so cool to listen to as you’ll see!!
As for the internals - the body is Carbon monocoque, there’s a 5 link front and rear suspension with crazy Pushrod struts transversely mounted - this allows Roll stiffness and dampening independent of heave and looks the sexiest thing ever in the process. Use Race Plus and Strat 2 modes: it lowers 37/30 mm to full attack mode! Worried about drag? Activate the F1 DRS button on the F1 steering wheel when on the straights for even more speed!
The Drive
Driving the ONE was almost an out of body experience - in that, my brain couldn't process what happened till much later on. However once it sunk in - some things really stood out - even on the GP circuit following the GT Black, there was no point where the car was at full throttle on the straight - it would have eaten up the Black Series if I tried. The gearbox was clunky and slow, reminiscent of the thud from a V10 M5 - yet it almost added to the brutality of the experience. The steering wheel and feel was perhaps the best I’ve ever experienced in a road car and the EV mode was literally the coolest sounding thing I’ve heard come alive in a car! And the engine? The absolute highlight. A visceral experience geared to overload your senses and feed your emotions as a car lover - there’s nothing that comes close to it.
Todays video will also be a tad vlog like, as I wake to give you some insight on how these Press Trips work. We bump into Chris Harris lining the AMG ONE for top gear, and you might see some bloke from Carwow.
We’ll be following AMG DTM legend Bernd Schneider in a GT Black Series. In the first laps, we have 3 highway modes to test - EV full electric, Race full combustion, and Race Safe which combines both. Then out in Race Plus and Strat 2 modes for full attack!
Today, I’m not here to tell you how it compares to a LAF, 918 or the next Hypercar of the week, I’ll leave that to everyone else - I’m here because I’m one of you guys, a driver of normal performance cars. So what’s it like to jump out of your A45, C63, AMG GT - and drive this bonkers thing? Let’s find out!

I'm convinced that this car will age beautifully. The performance figures are underwhelming at first compared to other hypercars, but once people stop comparing it to other cars and accept it for what it is, I think people will start to appreciate it. It's not just about paper-specs. It's about how Mercedes-AMG gave themselves the bonkers idea to put modern-day F1 technology in a car and -- after five years, a global pandemic, stricter laws, and all these obstacles that would make any sane car company stop the stupid thing -- THEY ACTUALLY DID IT. This is a car who's story is arguably more interesting than the car itself. Who cares if the Nevera can destroy it on a drag strip or a Koenigsegg has a bajillion horsepower. There has never been and never will be another car like this.

[@srinitaaigaura]

It is a Hypercar. Superior to the P1, LaFerrari and 918 and also the SF90 in stats with better tires and maybe more novel suspension tech.

[@affalterbach136]

Nobody can say it better thank you Bro you are totally correct!

[@devanman7920]

Honestly can see it being like the Jaguar XJ220. In ten years it will be cool but no one actually cares.

[@Mark-ut5oq]

@@srinitaaigaura Firstly the SF90 is not really Ferrari's "hypercar." Their true hypercar is the F40, F50, Enzo, Laferrari and whatever comes next. Also, this car is TEN YEARS newer than those cars you mentioned lol. Compared to similar cars of today its underwhelming considering they touted it as being an F1 car for the road.

[@sandman1347]

Let's wait to see some lap times shall we? It's not about quarter mile times and 0-60 for this car.

[@WahabGoldsmith]

Nearly a decade later, this car really makes me appreciate just how much the La Ferrari, P1, and 918 were ahead of their time. I’m not sure we’ll get to see a hypercar from large manufacturers push the envelope like the holy trinity has.

[@TheTmat007]

If I'm looking back to find a supercar that was well ahead of its time, that would be the McLaren F1. Not so much the LaFerrari, P1 or 918 Spyder. Even to this day, most cars can't match the top speed of the F1. In fact, only some hypercars can. Remember, the F1 had just 600 + hp and was capable of reaching over 240mph. That is an amazing piece of engineering achievement in the automotive industry.

[@WahabGoldsmith]

@@TheTmat007 You’re right. That car was indeed way ahead of its time in terms of performance. With the holy trinity, their design, their hybrid technology, and their performance is something that is still an industry standard a decade later. They provide a unique and, in my opinion, larger subset of innovations that are just as of late being adopted in the industry as something standard.

[@PBIchigo]

I would put the Porsche 959 in there too, because THAT car was really ahead of its time.

[@WahabGoldsmith]

@@conor7154 Personally, never heard of people saying that. Anywho, I’m sure the people you mentioned, like me, are not meant to have our word literally in its sense or meaning. We have a long way ahead of us. The car industry will inevitably create something in its future to challenge my statements.

[@Pain4yourmind]

I can’t believe they stuck iPads on the dash 🤢, they really didn’t want this to be a memorable thing. It’s almost like they just had to finish it because it was promised years ago. Now with other hypercars it’s just lost and forgotten. Definitely a flop. Sorry to say but as someone that loves engineering even that alone is not going to save it. Of course Mercedes fan boys will still like it, or people that think current F1 is as good as it was pre-hybrid era when we have V8,V10 and V12 which of course it’s no, not even close. It’s a nod to a crap era of F1 , everything fans hate about it.

[@TheMostSmokeCrew]

[@welloilbeefhooked4984]

looks amazing, imagine it in black. people moaning about exhaust sound, what you forget is there are EU regulations to keep it below a certain sound decibels, If Mercedes could get away with it sounding like a full blown F1 car they would have, Even Nissan have dropped the GTR in Europe because it was to loud to pass regulations. Im sure aftermarket exhaust will make it sound amazing when released.

I think the reason why they went through with it is because they didn't want to be the XJ220 of our era. They already presold cars, promised a road-legal F1 drivetrain, and their hands were tied. I don't think they had a choice. Still a technological marvel, but i think in the next few years, we will hear the behind the scenes story of what a colossal boondoggle this car must have been to produce, and how much Merc lost in revenue to follow through on their promise.
