    1,049 HP (782 kW) Mercedes-AMG One Is Official With 352 km/h Top Speed

    Five and a half years later and here we are with the Mercedes-AMG One production car.

    It is finally alive and it delivers on all the promises they made. There’s an F1 engine at its core. It is road legal. And it packs a combined 1,049 hp (782 kW) from its hybrid powertrain.

    “With the Mercedes-AMG One, we have more than pushed the boundaries. The immense technical challenges of making a modern Formula 1 powertrain suitable for everyday use on the road have undoubtedly pushed us to our limits,” said Philipp Schiemer, chairman of the management board for Mercedes-AMG. “Many may have thought, during the development period, that the project was impossible to implement. However, the teams in Affalterbach and Great Britain never gave up and believed in themselves. I have the greatest respect for all the participants and I am proud of this teamwork.”

    As one would expect, we are very much interested in the heart of the hypercar, the F1 engine. Sure it has been a massive source of frustration for the team but the 1.6-litre V6 engine spins to a glorious 11,000-rpm redline, using a single turbocharger with electric assist. The engine utilizes double overhead camshafts, air spring valves, direction injection, and a complex exhaust gas cleaning system to produce 566 hp (422 kW) on its own. Added to this are four electric motors combining to give a total output of 1,049 hp (782 kW).

    Two motors are located in the front, one at each wheel generating 322 hp combined. The third motor is installed with the F1 engine, sending 161 hp (120 kW) to the crankshaft. The fourth motor is the one tied to the high-tech turbocharger, which Mercedes-AMG says adds another 121 hp (90 kW) to the mix. That motor can also recoup energy from the turbo as exhaust gases spin it up, which can be sent elsewhere.

    The Mercedes-AMG One is a plug-in hybrid so does not need an enormous number of batteries. In fact, it packs just 8.4 kWh of lithium-ion batteries which allows it to go 18 km (11.2 miles) on electric power alone.

    The One weighs in at 1,695 kg (3,730 lb) which means it can rocket to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds thanks to its AMG 4Matic + all-wheel-drive system and new seven-speed automated manual transmission developed specifically for the hypercar. Perhaps more impressive is its 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) time of just 7 seconds. Flat out, it will reach 352 km/h (219 mph).

    This hypercar has been designed for ultimate performance and although Mercedes has not disclosed how much downforce is available, you know it is substantial thanks to a host of active aero components. There are active spoilers on the front diffuser, ventilation slots in the front wheel arches and of course that significant rear wing. In Race Plus and Strat2 programs under Track mode, Mercedes says downforce is five times higher than in normal highway mode. A third mode called Race DRS is a low-drag mode for reaching top speed.

    Hope inside and you might just feel like you are in a Formula 1 car. There are some snug sculptured seats, a rectangular F1-style steering wheel and two 10-inch digital screens.

    Cosmetically the AMG One sports special ten-spoke wheels with nine-spoked forged magnesium wheels as an option, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 M01 rubber (developed specifically for this hypercar).

    We know all 275 units have been spoken for a long time ago but what we don’t know is if it will have a go at grabbing the Nurburgring lap record. Rumours have long been whispered about Mercedes seeking a Nurburgring record with its benchmark hypercar. Now that it’s official, could such a run be in the making?

    For now we must just enjoy the fact that it is official and for those interested, it will be making its public debut towards the end of June at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
