The Mercedes-AMG One is often described as an F1 car for the road, and for good reason.
Typically, claims of a "racecar for the road" are exaggerated, especially when it comes to F1 cars. These machines are built with precision in labs resembling hospital operating rooms, with a single car costing around $15 million. They are extremely focused racing machines that cannot even be started on their own.
However, the Mercedes-AMG One is different. It features the engine from Lewis Hamilton's 2016 Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid, a 1.6L V6 hybrid producing over 1,000 horsepower. Additionally, it boasts pushrod suspension, advanced active aero, and more, making it a legitimate F1 car for the road.
The question remains, can it surpass the Aston Martin Valkyrie?
