At its core lies a 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine borrowed directly from Lewis Hamilton’s 2015 F1 race car, mated to a complex hybrid system featuring four electric motors. The V6 alone redlines at a mind-blowing 11,000 rpm, while the electric motors—including one on each front wheel and two integrated with the engine and turbocharger—deliver a combined 1,063 horsepower. This powertrain propels the ONE from 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds, hits a top speed of 219 mph (352 km/h), and ensures instantaneous throttle response thanks to F1’s energy recovery system (ERS). The exhaust note, a blend of screaming V6 and electric whine, is a symphony of motorsport innovation.
AMG’s engineering marvel extends beyond the powertrain. The ONE features active aerodynamics inspired by F1, including a deployable front splitter, adjustable rear wing, and underbody diffusers that generate massive downforce for razor-sharp cornering. A carbon-fiber monocoque chassis keeps weight to approximately 1,695 kg, while adaptive suspension and rear-wheel steering enhance agility. The interior, though minimalist, boasts F1-style touches like a steering wheel with drive-mode controls and carbon-fiber bucket seats, prioritizing driver focus over luxury.
Building the ONE was no small feat—tuning a 11,000-rpm F1 engine for road use required years of development, including solving heat management and emissions challenges. The result is a hypercar that not only matches F1 performance but also legalizes it for public roads. For collectors and enthusiasts, the AMG ONE represents the pinnacle of automotive engineering—where a decade of F1 championships’ worth of technology converges into a street-legal machine. It’s a limited-edition masterpiece that proves racing innovation can transcend the track, offering mere mortals a taste of F1’s ultimate performance.
