Mercedes-AMG One The
Mercedes-AMG One production hypercar features a powertrain similar to modern
Formula One cars. The production version of the car features a modified version of the Mercedes-Benz PU106B Hybrid E-turbo V6 engine used in the
Mercedes F1 W06 Hybrid Formula One car. The engine was modified to make it road legal, with changes including reduced idle and redline RPM. It produces a maximum power output of . Torque figures were unmeasurable due to the complex powertrain. The
internal combustion engine works in conjunction with four
electric motors; a MGU-K coupled to the crankshaft, a MGU-H coupled to the turbocharger, and two electric motors in the front axle producing . The One has a total combined power output of . The MGU-K and MGU-H are similar as in use in Formula One cars, which were responsible for recovering energy and improving efficiency during the operation of the car. More specifically, the MGU-K serves to generate electricity during braking, while the MGU-H serves to eliminate
turbo lag and improve throttle response by keeping the turbine spinning at lower engine high speeds. Two electric motors drive the front wheels and creates an
all-wheel drive drivetrain, the sum of these four electric motors contribute of effective power to the total power output figure of the AMG One. The head of Mercedes-AMG,
Tobias Moers, claimed that the engine idles at 1,280 rpm and 11,000 rpm at its redline limit. However, the engine will only last for and the owners would have to return their cars for an engine refurbishment costing 850,000 euros. This Formula One inspired powertrain helps the car attain a top speed of . According to Mercedes-AMG, the car can accelerate from 0 to in 2.9 seconds, 0 to in 7.0 seconds and 0 to in 15.6 seconds. ==Notes==
