Mercedes-AMG ONE |

New record lap on the Nordschleife: Mercedes-AMG ONE is fastest production vehicle.
With 6:35.183 minutes, race driver Maro Engel sets the new best time on the 20.8-kilometre circuit.
Maro Engel improves previous record for road-legal production cars by a remarkable eight seconds despite less than ideal track conditions.

I could possibly see 6m 15s-6m 25s on a perfectly dry track NO problem. Hell, I could see 6m 05s-6m 10s possible if he was able to go fully flat-out. Not saying those times are guaranteed but they are EXTREME possibilities and that is just insane to think about. Getting closer and closer to breaking the 6-minute barrier is just nuts to think about. When that happens, it would be a whole new ballgame. seeing who could be the first to go sub-5.

he wasn't holding back. He actually had to let off the gas in a few places so the battery would be at highest power possible for the final straight. If he didn't , then the car wouldn't reach its near top speed on the final straight thus losing time.

GT3 cars don't really go any faster than about 280kph, so the almost 50kph advantage would make a decent dent in terms of time, however for the ONE to get this close to a GT3 car is genuinely impressive and if they were on equal tires than the ONE may win. however, give a GT3 close to 1000hp and i think it may be just a tad ahead than the ONE (given the driver can manage it).

The car definitely needs a 2nd run. This one felt like a lot was left on the table in terms of performance. I’m still happy it at least gets to claim the record before cars like the Valkyrie show up

He drove it very fast and amazing run from nurburgring. So awesome ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Lucareski36]

Congratulations!!!

[@alessandrolorello7078]

Great lap considering the weight of the car, the slow gearbox and the less than ideal track conditions 👍I see big margin of improvement

[@ardijanuar2036]

That shift is horrible, almost gated manual like shift speed.

[@stonecold91]

why the shifts are so slow?

[@afoxwithahat7846]

@@stonecold91 Mercedes went for a more conventional gearbox, the car was taking too long to develop and getting too heavy, it is prove that it works so I don't blame them.

[@defnotatroll]

@@stonecold91 guessing it's because F1 cars don't use dual clutch gearboxes. In f1 the shifts are instant though somehow and in a road car the shifts are sluggish

[@nbain66]

@@defnotatroll F1 has a luck type clutch with like 6-8 clutches in it iirc. The gears are practically touching so the shifts are just moving millimeters

[@The98afro]

amazing lap, but I wonder why the upshifts seem so slow. Especially compared to the downshifts. I know it's a single clutch, but looking at the sequential transmissions from f1 and their shifting speeds, it amazes me that they had to detune the transmission so much

[@SuraSzellem]

Probably something related to the F1 derived engine and prolonging its lifespan, id guess

6.35 bei feuchter Strecke (so dem Anschein vom video) und immer wieder aufsetzen des Autos is verdammt schnell und krass. Im Sommer wenn es richtig trocken ist geht bestimmt noch was am der Zeit

[@TigraV16]

Sehr schön gefahren 👏🏻
