LaSource is pleased to offer a rare buildslot for one of the most significant new performance vehicles of the decade: the Mercedes-AMG One. Using a 1.6-litre turbocharged hybrid V6 powertrain, the One is perhaps the most authentic translation of Formula One powertrain technology into a roadcar to-date. The all-conquering engine that has delivered Mercedes eight consecutive F1 Constructor’s Championships is meticulously reengineered for road use, boosted with four electric motors for a total of just over 1,000hp. Only 275 will ever be built.
The AMG One is so complex and so advanced that summing up all of its highlights and new inventions takes a full 20 minutes in this Top Gear walkaround video. But for those that revel in the beauty of engineering, it’s a must watch. Watch it here.
A car as advanced as the AMG One is replete with watershed innovations, but arguably most impressive is its engine. Mercedes has managed to coax 358hp per litre from the combustion engine alone – about 150hp per litre more than the Mercedes-AMG A45. Two electric motors power each of the front wheels – with 326hp between them – and two further motors sit with the turbocharger and the crank, to give the advanced unit responses even sharper than a naturally aspirated V8.
We are pleased to offer this spec configurable build slot on an off market lawyer to lawyer basis. As always, the car is offered by a LaSource member directly.
