The new Mercedes-AMG One is the new Nurburgring record holder for road-legal production vehicles with a scorching lap. Watch the hypercar in action!

With professional racing driver Maro Engel behind the wheel, the new Mercedes-AMG One charged around the 20.832 km Nürburgring-Nordschleife track in 6:35.183.

Impressively, this time was set in less than perfect conditions as it had rained earlier. “That was really an unforgettable experience,” said Maro Engel after completing the record lap. “I didn’t expect that we would be able to set such a lap time with these track conditions. In some crucial areas of the track, it hadn’t dried completely yet and was therefore tricky. That was a special challenge.”

As a reminder, the Mercedes-AMG Project One was built to take Formula One engineering and technology from the racetrack to the road. There’s 782 kW from a 1.6-litre V6 petrol and 4 electric motors. Interestingly, Mercedes-AMG doesn’t list a peak torque figure, saying that quoting such a specification is “not possible due to [the] complex drivetrain”. A limited top speed of 352 kph is claimed.

The 0-100 kph sprint is smashed in a claimed 2.9 seconds in the angriest of the six drive modes, the 200 kph mark arriving in just 7.0 seconds and the speedometer reading 300 kph in a mere 15.6 seconds. If you’re wondering just how much the Mercedes-AMG One weighs, we can tell youits kerb weight is listed as 1 695 kg.
