MY2022 AMG ONE - Never would have thought it would be 5 years later after the release and MY2022 being the year for AMG ONE’s release after the Project ONE was first shown at IAA 2017. But #MercedesAMG have come good on their claims, and the F1 derived #AMGONE is finally ready for customers. Just 275 units, around £3 million each, it’s the ultimate flagship and today we get our first look at it!

The headline is the Formula 1 E Performance - this is the engine from Lewis Hamilton’s 2016 #F1 car! It’s the exact same 1.6 V6 engine, with 4 valves per cylinder. It revs to 11,000, requires rebuild at 30k miles, but that’s only one part of the story. There is also an Electric exhaust turbo charger (shared with next C63) aka the MGU-H, electric motors on the front, and an MGU K also from F1.

These all hybridised together give Performance Total of 1063 BHP!! Love the 63 number in there. The breakdown is as follows:

F1 V6 Combustion:- 574BHP
Front motors:- 326BHP
MGU-H :- 112BHP
MGU-K crankshaft :- 163BHP

AMG ONE’s 0-60 of 2.9 isn’t super impressive, but the 0-200 km/h  of 7.0 and 0-300 km/h of 15.6 s really show the car’s insane speed. This power flows to a New 7 speed automated manual, integrated into body in white. This is a 4 disc carbon racing clutch, with Shift Rods and clutch controlled hydraulically. Gear ratios minimise the power difference after upshifting to keep the engine at high revs (no turbo lag) - it has a Integrated limited-slip differential! All so different to your typical AMG.

There is a small 8.4kw lithium ion battery, with just 18km range, but the same tech basis as the next C63. And just like the C63 it has Liquid cooling of cells individually.

AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive with hybrid-driven rear axle, electrically driven front axle and torque vectoring - not too dissimilar to our normal cars.

Bodywork
Carbon monocoque with integrated high-strength-steel roll bar
Carbon body - front and rear ends, doors and front/rear bonnets
• Grid tube frame (in skeleton structure) for engine and chassis mounting - partially made of titanium

Chassis is super sexy in this car, as is the suspension.  We have a 5 link front and rear suspension, but the best part is the Pushrod struts transversely mounted - they look amazing and allow Roll stiffness and dampening independent of heave. Amazingly we still get Suspension options range from Comfort all the way to sport +!
Front axle can be raised in normal modes too, but the best party trick is the AMG ONE Track mode : In Race Plus and Strat 2 modes: it lowers 37/30 mm to full attack mode!!

There’s tonnes of aero which links to a DRS SYSTEM just like F1, and I’ll explain all of that as we get inside. We also have 6 Driving programmes, all RACE based! Race Safe, Race, EV and Individual are your normal modes. Then Race Plus and Strat 2 - track only!

Inside we have the amazing F1 style steering wheel with Pit button, DRS button, and so much more. Then we have the AMG Motorsport bucket seats, integrated in carbon monocoque. Steering wheel electrically and pedal box mechanically adjustable just like race cars too. And a tonne of unique features I’ll dive in and show you!
