On the occasion of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monte Carlo, Mercedes-AMG presented the concept PureSpeed, preview of the first product of the program “hyper limited” Mythos for collectors. The series version, in fact, arrives in 2025 and will be available in solo 250 copies.
Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed with the Halo
For the design of Concept PureSpeedthe AMG technicians started from the SL and one of the main features is the Halo systemderived from Formula 1 and present on every single-seater since 2018, which protects the driver’s head in the event of an accident. This component, aerodynamically optimized, is connected to the bodywork of the vehicle and includes two specially designed helmets.
Visibility for the driver and passenger is unobstructed, with a field of vision similar to that of the Formula 1. The interior features an exclusive color concept and a specific watch made by IWC Schaffhausen.
The design of the PureSpeed, inspired by Mercedes-AMG One hypercarfeatures an extremely low silhouette, with parts in carbon fiber exposed which contrast with the rounded shapes of the upper part.
The front and rear wheel covers optimize aerodynamics and brake cooling. The long hood and the low front with a pronounced ‘shark nose’ they are reminiscent of the Mercedes-AMG ONE, with alarge air intake and a chrome Mercedes star.
Transparent deflectors and aerodynamic flics on the side sills complete the design, while the muscular shoulders above the rear wheels and the rear apron emphasize the width of the vehicle.

The number 10 on the front fenders of the PureSpeed celebrates this historic victory.
