The front of the car has a bunker design, active air vents on the front fender, the door opens up with the active rear spoiler. The rear end is redesigned with a more prominent outline above the LED taillights and some differences on the large diffuser, containing three F1-inspired exhaust pipes. Other changes include a removable carbon fiber engine cover and a larger rearview mirror.

Wheels with new 10-spoke die-cast aluminum wheels, with aerodynamic carbon fiber shells. Optional 9-spoke magnesium wheels with bionic design. Features hydraulically controlled aerodynamics with 3-mode setup. Includes “Highway” for general use with sealed vents, extended front flaps and retractable rear wing. The “Track” delivers up to five times more downforce thanks to front flaps, opening vents, extended rear wing and 37mm lowered suspension at the front and 30mm at the rear. The “Race DRS” mode reduces downforce by 20% allowing for better acceleration to overtake opponents, a function that automatically turns off when the driver brakes hard.

The power of the Mercedes-AMG One comes from an E Performance-branded hybrid automatic with a combined output of 1,049 horsepower from an internal combustion engine with four electric motors. Mid-mounted 1.6 V6 internal combustion engine with electric turbocharger, limited to 11,000 rpm, derived from Mercedes’ F1. This petrol engine alone produces 565 horsepower.

With the electric motor, one mounted on the crankshaft adds 161 hp, one integrated into the turbocharger produces 121 hp and two electric motors mounted on the front axle produce 321 hp. The response from the V6 hybrid is significantly faster than the naturally aspirated V8, with the electric turbo allowing higher torque at low rpm, as explained by AMG.

The rear axle of the Mercede-AMG One is a hybrid with a 7-speed gearbox, locking differential, while the front axle provides power exclusively from two electric motors. The AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel drive system and torque on the front axle provide the best possible traction. In addition, the front electric motor allows 80% of kinetic energy to be recovered during deceleration, helping to charge the high-performance lightweight lithium-ion battery with a direct cooling system. The battery has a capacity of 8.4 kWh for a range of 18.1 km and can be charged using a 3.7 kW charger.

“Beast” Mercedes-AMG One has 6 driving modes, including Race Safe (prioritizes electric motor), Race (continuous internal combustion engine), EV (completely zero-emission electric mode), Race Plus (hybrid, active aerodynamics, lowered chassis), Strat 2 (maximum power, most powerful chassis setup, track fit) and Individual (custom settings).

The Race Start function allows the car to accelerate from 0-200 km / h in just 7 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 352 km / h. Vehicle meets Euro 6 emission standards.

The Mercedes-AMG One is based on a carbon fiber monocoque chassis with aluminum front and rear subframes. While the engine and transmission perform load-bearing functions. The coil suspension has 5 links and two adjustable struts on each axle with Comfort, Sport and Sport+ options.

Unique interior with two racing style seats, F1-style steering wheel with gearshift indicator and integrated electrically adjustable buttons. Vehicles equipped with two USB ports, two independent 10-inch screens (one for the dashboard and one for entertainment). Air vents and rearview mirror digital real-time display from MirrorCam. Interior materials are mainly carbon fiber and Nappa leather, further decorated with metal accents.

The Mercedes-AMG One costs $2.72 million and is limited to 275 units. The “Beast” is on par with the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Gordon Murray T.50, both powered by race-focused V12 engines.
