There Mercedes-AMG ONE it is the fastest production car on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife from 2022. The brand ambassador and DTM driver, Maro Engelimproved his lap time a 6:29.090 minutes, surpassing his own record of more than five seconds.
Record at the Nürburgring for the Mercedes-AMG ONE
Mercedes-AMG ONE, equipped with Formula 1 technology, is the first road car to go down under the 6:30 minute wall and the only production hybrid hypercar to tackle the most challenging circuits in the world. To achieve the ambitious goal of beating the 6:30 minute time, meticulous preparation and ideal conditions on the track were required.
The September 23, 2024at 18:56, Maro Engel set the new record at his third timed lapthanks to favorable temperatures (15° in the air and 20° on the asphalt) and a dry Nordschleife which guaranteed excellent grip.
Similar to Formula 1 driversEngel had to maximize the use ofelectricity of hybrid traction on a track of over 20 kilometres. It employed the AMG ONE’s power flow control system, using techniques such as “lift and coast” to optimize energy recovery during braking.
Tests in the simulator and on the track provided the information needed for a record lap. The vehicle was tested and documented by TÜV Rheinland to ensure compliance with the standard conditions, and a notary confirmed the validity of the established time.
Mercedes-AMG ONE features
The Mercedes-AMG ONE brings hybrid Formula 1 technology to the road for the first time, combining a combustion engine with four electric motors for a total output of 782 kW (1,063 hp) and a maximum speed of 352 km/h. Equipped with a monocoque in carbonactive aerodynamics and AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel driveoffers superior performance than many racing cars.
For the speed record, Maro Engel selected the driving program “Race Plus”optimizing aerodynamics and lowering the ride of the vehicle. The use of Drag Reduction System (DRS) it reduced aerodynamic resistance, improving performance on fast and twisty sections.
The hybrid engine And Performancedeveloped in collaboration with Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains, uses a 1.6 liter V6 engine with electric turbocharger to improve response and efficiency. The all-wheel drive is fully variable, with the electric motors on the front axle allowing for optimal torque distribution.
The lithium ion battery from 8.4 kWh offers an electric range of 18.1km and an innovative direct cooling system ensures optimal performance. The intelligent operating strategies of the hybrid system allow you to adapt the driving mode based on needs, optimizing performance and efficiency.
