Currently, the prototypes of the Mercedes-AMG One are undergoing intensive testing in the UK. The car is being tested both on special dynamic rigs and on real race tracks. It has also become known that the supercar will be equipped with active aerodynamic elements, which are currently being refined in a wind tunnel. These will include a multi-section rear wing capable of changing its position in two modes.
The first prototype of this model was shown to the public in the fall of 2017 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Under the hood, it has a hybrid powertrain based on a modified 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine, similar to the one used in the cars of the Mercedes factory team in Formula 1.
The gasoline engine works in tandem with an electric motor mounted on the rear axle, and together they produce 680 horsepower. Each of the front wheels has an additional electric unit. The total output of the entire hybrid system of the hypercar exceeds 1000 horsepower.
According to preliminary information, the Mercedes-AMG One can accelerate to 100 km/h in about 2.5 seconds, and to 200 km/h in no more than six seconds. The top speed of the new model will be above 350 km/h.
