The 2024 Mercedes-AMG One, a rare marvel in automotive engineering, is currently up for auction on the SBX Cars website, with options for personalized delivery to the winning bidder. The auction for this highly anticipated vehicle is set to close on April 25.
Sporting an impressive 1,049 horsepower, equivalent to 1,063 European PS or 782 kilowatts, the Mercedes-AMG One has preserved the extraordinary power that distinguished it during its initial presentation as a prototype in 2017 by the esteemed German automaker.
Under the hood, the AMG One features a potent 1.6-liter V6 petrol engine, enhanced with a single turbocharger and electric assistance for optimal performance. This engine is uniquely designed with dual overhead camshafts and utilizes air spring valves along with a cutting-edge fuel injection system. It also boasts an exhaust gas cleaning system, ensuring compatibility with stringent Euro 6 emission standards. Remarkably, this configuration allows the engine to deliver up to 566 horsepower independently, embodying the prowess of a Formula 1 engine adapted for road use.
In addition to its gasoline engine, the AMG One includes three electric motors that augment the vehicle’s total power output to the aforementioned 1,049 horsepower. This setup ensures that power delivery is smooth and immediate, thanks to the all-wheel drive system that enhances the car’s agility and stability under various driving conditions.
The hybrid system of the AMG One is supported by a substantial battery pack comprising numerous lithium-ion cells with a total energy capacity of 8.4 kilowatt-hours. To safeguard this vital component, Mercedes engineers have implemented an advanced liquid cooling system, designed to maintain the batteries at an optimal temperature of about 45 degrees Celsius, thereby enhancing performance and longevity.
On electric power alone, the AMG One can travel up to 18 kilometers (11.2 miles), making it ideal for short, emission-free journeys. The car’s total weight is approximately 1,695 kilograms, which contributes to its robust yet efficient dynamics.
Acceleration is another area where the AMG One shines, sprinting from zero to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. This blistering performance is facilitated by the comprehensive integration of its mechanical and electrical systems, including the sophisticated AMG 4Matic+ all-wheel drive. Additionally, the vehicle features a state-of-the-art automatic manual gearbox, allowing for precise and responsive gear shifts.
Mercedes has announced that production of the AMG One will be limited to just 275 units worldwide, making each vehicle a coveted collector’s item. The price tag of $2.72 million reflects the exclusivity and advanced technology embedded in each model, marking the AMG One as a pinnacle of modern automotive luxury and performance.
