Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Mercedes-AMG One Breaks Its Own Nürburgring Record
Caption: Mercedes-AMG One Breaks Its Own Nürburgring Record. The Mercedes-AMG One has become the first road-legal production car to complete the the famed Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit in under 6:30 minutes. The Mercedes-AMG One, a Formula 1-inspired street-legal vehicle, broke its own record, completing the 20.8-kilometre track in just 6:29.090 minutes, shaving over six seconds off its previous record, set two years ago in 2022. The AMG One's driver, Maro Engel, who also set the previous record, attributed much of the improvement to ideal track conditions. The weather was a far cry from the damp and less-than-perfect conditions of the 2022 run, allowing Engel to make the most of the hypercar's capabilities. The AMG One's impressive performance is powered by a 1.6-litre V6 engine derived from Formula 1 technology, paired with four electric motors, producing over 1,000 horsepower in total. With a top speed of 352 km/h, this hybrid hypercar is designed to break records. Not only has it dominated the Nürburgring, but it also holds records at Hockenheimring, Red Bull Ring, and Monza.
