Mercedes is preparing a world premiere of a series of the ultimate supersport AMG One, which will allow people willing to pay almost 70 million crowns to share the benefits of F1 drivers. There was a lot of talk about this project and the biggest question was whether he would really get the engine out of the monopost, which helped Mercedes to the last eight titles in the Constructor’s Cup.
The original was to be launched in 2019, but the first development of the power unit, with the aim of being an establishment on the main road, gained a great deal of bottom. It is interesting that, despite the speculations, Mercedes really stayed with the unit derived directly from its famous F1 engine. It is therefore a strong sub-square cylinder with a capacity of 1.6 liters (bore 80.0 mm and stroke 53.03 mm) switched by a turbocharger, which in Mercedes-AMG One is helped by a total of three electric motors.
One electric motor is a set of turbochargers and in addition to collecting energy from the turbocharger, the blower can rotate so quickly and for 100,000 min-1, no function takes over the flow of exhaust gases. The turbocharger itself can supply pressurized air at 3.5 bar. Dal electric motor is connected directly to the crankshaft and the other two take care of the front axle drive.
However, the internal combustion engine was adapted for use in power cars and to meet all emission standards. It has both low and low fuel injection and can operate on a commercial gasoline with an octane rating of at least 98, which you refuel at a public gas station. The cams are driven by gears and the classic valve springs have been replaced by hydraulics to make the valves close at high speeds. However, the maximum is limited to 11,000 min-1 due to the service life of the drive unit, if the engine should travel 50,000 km on a complete general purpose. Just for fun, F1 engines can reach 15,000 min-1but from here you can see the aquifers cross the 12,000 min-1.

The internal combustion engine reaches 574 hp in 9000 min-1but the electric motor on the crankshaft can add another 163 horsepower and front electric motors (able to run and 50,000 min-1) add a total of 326 kon. The power of the electric motor of the turbocharger is 122 hp. Electricity is stored in an 800V battery with a capacity of 8.4 kWh, which should last for 18 km driving in the same electrical mode. In total, the car is able to optimally send on the road power and 1063 hp. Mercedes does not state the value of the maximum torque, but in this petrol-electric performance, the exact value of the limit is equally complicated.

The drive parameters are enough to accelerate the Mercedes-AMG One from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds, to 200 km / h in 7.0 seconds and to 300 km / h in 15.6 seconds. Top speed in 352 km / h, ie close to the F1 monopost in a configuration for low pressure circuits, such as Monza or Baku.
The transmission is brand new and Mercedes has developed a seven-speed sequential gearbox with an integrated self-locking differential. The gearbox system is also electro-hydraulically controlled by the tylamel carbon clutch. Probably not surprisingly, the AMG One uses all-carbon monococks and the body is equipped with a relatively sophisticated system of active aerodynamics, including the active rear seat and flaps above the front fenders. The driver configures whether he requires maximum pressure or minimum air resistance.
At speeds from 50 km / h, it generates a noticeable pressure, which of course increases with speed. However, the manufacturer does not state the maximum achievable pressure value. Just a reminder that the rear seat is equipped with a DRS system, which pushes the rear by 20%, but at the same time reduces the resistance and makes the car two reach maximum speed.

The push-rod chassis is electronically adjustable and changes its height depending on the driving mode. The Race Plus circuit circuit with a 37 mm front and 30 mm rear chassis and a chassis, the Strat 2 chassis according to the chassis and a drive, keep the powertrains set, reminiscent of a qualified F1 mode, where maximum battery charge is used for one or two high-speed wheels. There is also a travel mode on a regular road and I may want to set the individual features in detail.
The interior is carried in a minimalist spirit and, unlike the F1 monopost, there are two seats in a classic configuration next to each other. The seats are fixed, you just have to adjust the inclination of the backrest in two steps and move the steering wheel and the pedals. Curiosity is a camera instead of a rearview mirror.

From a technical point of view, it should be remembered that the Mercedes AMG-One rides 19 wheels at the front and 20 wheels at the rear with 285/35 ZR 19 and 335/30 ZR 20 tires. used Michelin services, which he delivered specially designed Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R M01 tires for this model. The brakes are of course carbon-ceramic, at the front the discs have a diameter of 398 mm and pin calipers, at the rear 380 mm and type calipers. The weight of the car is quite 1695 kg, but the car has air conditioning, infotainment, airbags and electric windows.
The only thing wrong is somehow the sun trunk space. But when you can afford this car, you probably have someone who takes care of luggage transport. Mercedes should produce 275 pieces of this exclusive car and all of them are sold.
