At the Frankfurt Motor Show Mercedes introduced a novelty, which has been rumored for a long time, but
until now there has been virtually no specific information. As representatives
of the company said at the presentation, Mercedes-AMG Project ONE became the
first racing car, adapted to the public roads.
At the moment this is the only hypercar in the world,
combining so many technological novelties. If we talk about the engine, it is
worth noting that the Mercedes-Benz AMG Project ONE Concept has at its disposal
a hybrid power plant with a 1.6-liter V6 unit. He is well acquainted with
everyone who follows the "royal" races, because it was such a block
that was put on the car Mercedes-AMG W06 Hybrid a couple of years ago.
The steel heart of the Mercedes-Benz AMG Project ONE
Concept is capable of delivering up to 11,000 rpm. This is not the limit for
the engine, but the maximum load can not be given - engineers have limited
power to increase the "survivability" of the power plant.
"Feeds" Mercedes-Benz AMG Project ONE Concept exclusively fuel with
an octane rating of at least 98. And the front wheels of the hypercar rotate
two electric motors with a total capacity of more than 320 hp.
For the switching of speeds in the Mercedes-Benz AMG
Project ONE Concept the robotic AMG Performance 4MATIC + transmission with
eight speeds is used.
The concept is distinguished by improved aerodynamics,
which not only adds stability to the car, but also helps to cool the engine.
Also, to improve handling at high speeds, the Mercedes-Benz AMG Project ONE
Concept is equipped with a retractable front aerodynamic splitter and air
intakes that open automatically.
But the interior of the hypercar is truly spartan and
minimalistic. But without already become standard for modern auto air
conditioning and electric windows has not been. Also there is a pair of 10-inch
monitors.
An interesting feature of the Mercedes-Benz AMG
Project ONE Concept can be called the fact that the two seats are fixed firmly
and allow you to adjust only the inclination of the backrest. However, this
will not become an inconvenience to the buyers, since the steering wheel and
the pedals can be adjusted for themselves.
Well, in the end of all of the above, you can not talk
about the characteristics of this racing "monster". The total engine
power of the Mercedes-Benz AMG Project ONE Concept is more than 1000 hp. Acceleration
from zero to 200 km/h takes less than six seconds, and the maximum machine
produces up to 350 km/h. If during the ride you forget to refuel, then you can
reach the column by electric traction. On it, the car can drive up to 25 km.
According to the company, only 275 Mercedes-Benz AMG
Project ONE Concept will see the light. The cost of the car in the basic
equipment is 2 700 00 euros.
