Future owners were recently invited to Munich, Germany, where they learned of the car's name and specced out their own examples.



AMG presented the One as a concept at the 2017 Frankfurt auto show. Since then there's been a lot of development taking place in the virtual world, at secret test sites, and at the Mercedes-AMG F1 team's base in the United Kingdom. The site is where the cars are expected to be built, using the same suppliers as the F1 team.

Unlike the Ferrari F50 whose V-12 was based on the design used in Ferrari's F1 cars at the time, the One will feature the actual engine used in Mercedes-AMG's multiple championship-winning F1 cars: a 1.6-liter turbocharged V-6 complete with turbo-mounted electric motor and 11,000-rpm redline. Three additional electric motors will feature in the One, with one mounted to the engine and a further two at the front axle to form an all-wheel-drive system. Peak power will be above 1,000 horsepower.
