AMG ONE [Official] Mercedes-AMG Project ONE

[A.P.]

Yes, yes it's quick in a straight. Now put them around a track...

 

[Shellshock]

I wonder if on track this can beat an F3 formula car

 

[leylandi]

Mercedes is competing with itself. But now there is something to be afraid of. New BMW XM huhhahahaah

 

[tristatez28lt1]

315 speedo means it’s a little faster than an SF90 at 304 km/h. It’s probably on Huayra BC trap speed level with better mid term acceleration and therefore lower ET. I’m guessing the one does the 1000 m in 16.8 s at 306 km/h.

 

[Sunny]

Haha, so after all the failures at the track, they have gone carwow!

 

[bmwz4coupe]

What a ridicolous video, the GT R is not excactly among the fastest in a straight line….
Show us some lap times good dammit!

0-300km/h= 13.6 seconds indicated (using a frame counter as it changed display)
0-315km/h= 15.6 seconds indicated (using a frame counter as it changed display)

Not VERIFIED but that's what was displayed. Speedometer or timer inaccuracies are unknown.

Write-up from Chris Harris on driving the One... Not exactly a stellar review, although not much different from the video they had put out.

So, there is the big possibility Mercedes claimed figures could be highly conservative. This car is Chiron quick.

If we look at what chris harris wrote, the nurburgring lap time will not come for a while. There are still problems to be solved.

 

[duesy]

Harris is adamant that it won't be the fastest car 'ever, but it will be a lot of fun to drive around the track if it gets its technical stuff together, i.e., the One is not for people whose idea of a proper sports car is reducible to dragstrip split times.

The AMG One is a dud. I wouldn't be surprised if the hybrid C43 and C63 score more positive reviews.

The AMG One is a dud.

An example of abstaining from making crucial business decisions when absolutely shit-faced drunk is probably the way to go.

Innovation is a gamble. If something doesn't break of fail then you are are not ambitious enough. Every now and then, every engineering-led business will launch or acquire a product that fails to meet performance, cost or reliability targets.

Eitherway, the AMG-One is an extremely limited, expensive and noise car. Regardless of whether it's reliable as a Camry or a 1990s Jaguar, owners will do minimal miles in the car.

No, I agree envelopes ought to be pushed in both approach and the contents used, but despite it's storied heritage, what it represents, and the engineering that's behind the 1.6L, I just don't find it appealing. That said, there's more than enough monied Silver Arrow fans out there who'd want to feel an iota of Hamilton feels when he's piloting his F1 car around, so that's a win right there.

Mercedes-AMG HPP have won the prestigious Dewar Trophy "in recognition for the successful implementation of its Formula One powertrain in the road-legal Mercedes-AMG ONE hypercar." The video includes some footage of the One's powertrain.

For a car that's not ready yet

For a car that's not ready yet

I am convinced that the panel of judges got to drive the car unaccompanied on public roads for 3 hours.
