Here's our first look at the £2.5m Mercedes-AMG One is its final form, complete with an F1 powertrain -
So it’s a pure F1 engine, then? Not exactly. AMG calls it a ‘bespoke unit’ that marries elements from multiple generations of its F1 engine. The engineering is exactly the same, though. Air is fed into the engine by a combined mechanical and electrically-driven turbocharger with the exhaust turbine located near the exhaust and the compressor near the roof-mounted air intake. They’re joined by a long shaft to which is connected an 80kW MGU-H electric motor.
The higher voltage level reduces voltage losses, not least in the cables. It also allows significantly shorter charging times with a constant current level. The One’s driving programs will even have an all-electric mode with just the front axle driven, giving a range of up to 11 miles. The most extreme ‘dynamic’ mode, on the other hand, will adopt settings used in F1 to achieve the best possible lap times in qualifying.
The brakes are carbon-ceramic and, thanks to the relative lack of mass, are a surprisingly restrained six-piston setup up at the front with 398mm discs, and four-piston calipers on 380mm discs in use out back. There are two wheel designs available, both coming with their own clever carbonfibre aero devices. The standard set is a 10-spoke design made from forged aluminium, the optionals being a 9-spoke Magnesium design.
