Find out how AMG's One hypercar performs against the previous fastest car in the company fleet.
, two cars designed for ultimate track performance but with very different methods of execution.
While the GT Black Series went down the traditional route of a powerful V-8 up front and drive sent to the rear wheels, the One features the same engine found in the current crop of cars raced by the Mercedes Formula 1 team. It's a 1.6-liter turbocharged V-6, specifically the unit from the championship-winning race car from the 2015 season.
The One actually features a more sophisticated powertrain than the F1 car, though. While in the race car there's only the turbocharged V-6 and a motor-generator driving the rear wheels, plus a second motor-generator integrated with the turbocharger, the One has all that and two more motor-generators. These drive each of the front wheels and provide the One with all-wheel drive.
Nevertheless, acceleration is breathtaking, as we see in the video. Mercedes quotes a 0-62 mph time of 2.9 seconds for the One, though that's likely on the conservative side as the car easily outguns the GT Black Series whose official 0-62 mph time is 3.1 seconds, but has been demonstrated with much quicker times than that. For comparison's sake, the GT Black SeriesSadly, there's no track figures for the One just yet.
