Mercedes-Benz AMG has published the offical lap time for its One hypercar at the Nürburgring, and also it’s a brand-new document for production automobiles.
Throughout an attempt on Oct. 28, the One was piloted by competing motorist Maro Engel around the full 12.9 miles of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a time of 6:35.183. The moment wrecks the previous document of 6:43.61, established by AMG’s very own GT Black Series in 2020, and is made even more outstanding when you consider the run was made in moist conditions.
“I didn’t anticipate that we would certainly have the ability to establish such a lap time with these track problems,” Engel, that is an effective Formula E and DTM driver as well as winner of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, said after the run. “In some essential areas of the track, it had not dried totally yet and was consequently tricky.”
Mercedes lastly exposed the production version of the One in June, and also the very first instances will be supplied to eagerly awaiting customers shortly– a five-year delay since the expose of the principle at the 2017 Frankfurt car program.
The automobile is powered by the exact same engine discovered in the present plant of cars competed by the Mercedes F1 team. It’s a turbocharged 1.6-liter V-6, especially the device from the championship-winning race cars and truck from the 2015 season. The One really features a more advanced powertrain than the F1 auto, though.
While in the race auto there’s just the turbocharged V-6 and a motor-generator driving the rear wheels, plus a second motor-generator incorporated with the turbocharger, the One has 2 added motor-generators. These drive each of the front wheels as well as provide the One with four-wheel drive. Peak result is 1,049 hp, though the cars and truck is reasonably hefty for a two-seater, considering in at 3,737 pounds, or near to the weight of a Ford Mustang GT.
Mercedes-Benz AMG One production in Coventry, U.K. For the document run, the One was set in its Race Plus drive mode. This mode is created for track usage as well as in addition to lowering the automobile(37 millimeters at the front as well as 30 at the back ), it additionally dials the wind resistant as well as chassis settings to the max. Engel additionally used the automobile’s drag reduction system throughout the run.
Manufacturing of both the One’s F1 powertrain and also the auto itself is dealt with in the U.K. The powertrain comes from Mercedes‑Benz AMG High Performance Powertrains, the division that establishes and builds Mercedes’ F1 power units.
AMG will build a complete 275 instances, each priced at 2.275 million euros (about $2.3 million), and all build ports are gone. Despite the fact that a lot of the construct slots went to clients in the U.S., AMG had not been able to certify the automobile as well as its particular F1 engine available right here without a substantial loss in efficiency, as well as thus won’t sell it here. There is some hope for U.S. customers in the form of the Show or Display guideline. Under the policy, non-U.S. certified vehicles with historical or technical value can be given consent for private import, albeit with constraints, such as yearly mileage restricted to 2,500 miles.

In the last video clip from this series the Nova, also known as Nana, made it to the coast of California as well as we asked if that was a good Omen for the remainder of the journey. Ooops, we might have jinxed them. Create it looks like some job is going to get provided for certain.
Does this concept scare you? I recognize it frightens lots of individuals. I suggest I do understand that finding a cars and truck online, speaking to the seller, and also deciding you assume you desire it is quite basic. But this is different than simply driving throughout town to see if it’s what you desire. In this case, they are flying halfway across the nation to confirm it’s what they want, making the offer, and after that driving it back home to Texas. There is more to it than that.
Logistically, this implies flying from Texas to California, leasing a cars and truck, driving to the Nova, taking a look at the Nova, and then driving both the Nova and also the rental back to the leasing’s pickup place. Then, packing every little thing they brought right into the Nova to begin their trip. What could perhaps go wrong?
Every little thing, that’s what. But I’m the kind of guy that states roll the dice due to the fact that if it runs good as well as quits and steers for the first 30 mins it will most likely make it the following number of hours. And if it makes it the first couple of hours it will probably make it residence. And also if it does not, then you’ve obtained some wonderful tales to inform.

This complete SCORE of a much more door 64 Nova is taking us on and also journey down the CA shore and at some point back to Texas! We’re so happy to have actually y’ all on this journey with us!
