According to foreign media reports, after many "jumping tickets", the Mercedes -AMG ONE supercar, which originated from Formula One, will be put into production next year. Mercedes -AMG will also provide the delivery schedule of ONE hypercar to customers around the world later this week.
Mercedes -AMG ONE is actually from the AMG Project ONE concept car, which was first unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2017 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of AMG. However, for various reasons, this model has not been mass-produced.
As the power system of the car is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.6T V6 engine and four motors of the same model as Mercedes -AMG F1 racing car, its maximum power can reach 735kW(1000 HP). The car can accelerate from standstill to 200km/h in 6s, and the maximum speed can reach 350 km/h.
This car is also called "Civil F1" by fans. The price of the new car is nearly $3 million, and the global limited sales are 275 units. Although the price is expensive, the F1 car can be legally put on the road, and this super sports car will naturally be sold out soon, not to mention that this limited edition model can add value in the future.
Mercedes -AMG ONE originally planned to deliver to customers in 2019. However, due to the idle stability of the engine below 5,000 rpm, and the difficulty in meeting various emission regulations for the new car, the delivery of the vehicle was delayed.
In order to endorse this unique Mercedes -AMG ONE, Mercedes also invited F1 driver lewis hamilton to shoot a series of short films to endorse it. He is also the first black driver in F1 history and the strongest active driver with seven F1 world champions. Think about it. Being able to drive a super sports car with the same power as the F1 world champion is tantamount to becoming an F1 racer. I’m afraid you may not be able to experience this feeling if you have money.
It is not the first time that Mercedes has turned racing cars into mass-produced civilian cars. As early as 1994, FIA introduced a brand-new group GT1/Le Mans. There are almost no restrictions in this group. The only restriction is that the participating automakers need to produce at least one legal road version of this model.
Mercedes-Benz and AMG worked together to design vehicles, and in 1997, the classic Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR was launched. It was equipped with a 6.9L displacement V12 engine with a maximum power of 444kW(604 HP), an acceleration time of 0-96km/h of only 3.8s and a top speed of 320 km/h. This kind of power existed like a ceiling at that time.
This classic Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR also rubbed the Porsche 911 GT1 on the ground and won several world titles. So in 1998 and 1999, AMG built 25 limited-edition road versions of GTR, and the initial price was as high as $1,547,620. In an auction in 2016, one of them sold for $2.6 million, and the current valuation of this car is between $8.5 million and $10 million.
Editor’s comment:As the first Mercedes -AMG ONE to transplant F1 racing power to civilian vehicles, this model also continues many classic design elements of Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR. Its birth will once again become a frequent visitor in the auction market. Although the price is as high as 5 million US dollars, who will refuse such a wealth management product?
