AMG ONE [Official] Mercedes-AMG Project ONE

[Bridster]

Neither lol.

Funnily enough, at the end they both say that they actually prefer the Senna.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

All the Project One naysayers, have you actually read in depth explanation of the engineering achievement this car actually is? Yes sure the outcome may have been superior in certain respects if another avenue was taken, but to bring this technology to the market while meeting reliability and maintenance benchmarks, deserves recognition, if not applause.

from Mr. Mercedes.

Objectively, the car is an epic failure. It’s ok to admit. Mercedes would surely admit it to. From a cost, rollout, marketing, and client satisfaction standpoint. Failure. I personally have 2 friends (won’t name names but quite famous and would have been big ambassadors of the car) pull their large deposits back due to constant delays.

Real F1 engines, don’t belong in road cars. Simple as that.

It may be a marketing and business failure, but the engineering is impressive and it must get credit for that.

Mercedes AMG One or Aston Martin Valkyrie V12?

Valkyrie for me.

How does the owner shift with one hand? I don't see any obvious mods done to the steering wheel. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Valkyrie has no automatic shift mode. ?

Just......no. It's the king of turds.

It's Mercedes completely lost.

Must get credit? For the mess so big they don't even sell it worldwide? Please stop now.
All the world wanted/needed was a lightweight car around an AMG V12. What we got is the fat freak endboss.

This is why the car is a fundamental marketing failure. They built a car that the engineers wanted to try and deliver, and didn't build a car that the market actually wanted.

I think the had the right idea, but the execution is way off. Ultimately it doesn’t matter. It’s a terrible waste of resources.

What happened here, I missed this one a bit, due to lack of charisma, what is it? another failure from Mercedes,? Did it not sell well and/or did it not meet performance expectations?

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

It's just messy. Putting a formula 1 drivetrain in a road car was always going to be an awful challenge.

Also doesn't help that MB sucks at F1 and is like the 5th fastest. They were hot when this car was incepted like 5 years ago, but now? LOL. Who wants to be associated with Toto and his failing endeavor?

People didn't stop buying Ferraris just because they were getting pammed in the F1 for the previous 10 years.
But yes, the development delays haven't helped the AMG One. I'm glad it exists though. The world is more interesting for it's existence than without.

Because a Ferrari is a Ferrari.

And a Rolls Royce is a Rolls Royce.

Those two can do whatever they please whenever they want.

One of the problems of this car is timing. they decided to use a F1 engine at a time when F1 use a terrible sounding six. It would be a much more desirable car with the previous wonderful sounding 10 engine.

Multitude of timing problems. They wanted to cash in on their F1 success in the peak Hamilton era, which was the Turbo V6 era. But the developmental hell of trying to get an F1 drivetrain into a road car pushed it back to after Mercedes-AMG fell off in F1.

AMG ONE is a failure. Because BMW didn't make it...

That being said from the guy that argued that putting more resources into a failed car , resources that went exactly where it does not matter ( front grill and marketing ; and even more marketing ) .

So you have nothing against putting resources into updating a failed mass-market car , but have with MB putting resources into a ultra-exclusive car that is sold out .

You just can't make this s**t up. Haha

Feeling some kinda way from the other thread huh?

If you weren't so hosed on the EQS you’d realize that it makes for more sense for them to try to save a mass market vehicle vs letting it die in the market. That someone is so out of it as to not get this is the shit you can’t make up.

Secondly sold out in very few numbers means what? Sales are not the biggest goal of a car like this, moving the brand to the next level is. This car failed to do that and it wasn’t even sold on the USA which is one of AMG’s biggest markets. You reallly have no understanding here at all.

Yeah we will let the EVs rot while we bask in the glory of a sold out of an hypercar in a few markets in tiny numbers. Man hell yeah that is sound business plan.
