Mercedes AMG One Overview and Production Data
The Mercedes AMG One is a limited-production hybrid hypercar developed by Mercedes-AMG, a performance division of Mercedes-Benz Group AG. The project is based on the Formula 1 power unit used by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, and customer deliveries began in 2022. Mercedes-AMG initially planned to build 275 units, with each car priced above 2.5 million euros, though exact allocation and final pricing for remaining units may vary by market and configuration.
The AMG One uses a 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 derived directly from the F1 PU106B Hybrid power unit, combined with four electric motors to create a hybrid drivetrain. The internal combustion engine alone produces over 700 horsepower, while the electric motors add additional output, bringing total system power close to 1,000 horsepower. This configuration allows the AMG One to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to around 350 km/h.
Technical Architecture and Performance Figures
The AMG One uses a carbon fiber monocoque and body panels, with active aerodynamics including a front splitter, rear wing, and diffuser designed to generate downforce at high speeds. The hybrid system uses a 4.0 kWh battery pack and four electric motors, one per wheel, for torque vectoring and all-wheel drive. Regenerative braking recovers energy under deceleration, supporting both electric-only driving at low speeds and supplementary power during acceleration.
Mercedes-AMG reports a combined system output of approximately 1,000 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque, with the electric motors contributing around 160 horsepower. The car uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission adapted from the F1 car, with a carbon fiber driveshaft and rear-wheel steering. Top speed is limited to 350 km/h, and the 0 to 200 km/h sprint is completed in roughly 7 seconds, according to Mercedes-AMG technical data.
Market Position, Pricing, and Ownership Context
Priced above 2.5 million euros, the AMG One competes in the ultra-luxury hypercar segment alongside models from Ferrari, McLaren, and Porsche, though its Formula 1-derived powertrain sets it apart in terms of technology lineage. The limited production run of 275 units places it among the rarest AMG models, with allocation managed through a customer selection process tied to existing Mercedes-Benz and AMG ownership history and brand engagement.
