The 2020 Mercedes-AMG One is an upcoming hybrid hypercar powered by a 1.6-liter V6 hybrid engine with an eight-speed semi-automatic transmission. The car will have 1,021 horsepower, all-wheel drive, and two-person seating capacity. 2020 Mercedes AMG One Review
The car uses its electric motors to spin the engine’s turbos, which helps eliminate turbo lag and increase acceleration. As a result, the car is able to achieve a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds, which is slightly slower than the Bugatti Chiron but faster than the McLaren Senna. The AMG One’s top speed is said to be 217 mph.
The AMG One will have an electric-only mode, which will allow it to be driven on battery power only for up to 15 miles before gas engines need to engage.
The car’s release has been delayed to 2020 because of Mercedes-Benz’s difficulties in adapting its Formula One-derived engine for road use. The 1.6-liter engine typically idles at 5,000 rpm for race use, but needs to be closer to 1,200 rpm for road use and needs to meet emissions regulations as well. Its projected price is expected to exceed $2.5 million.

But, AMG devotees aren't the only drivers who wish the Formula 1–based Mercedes-AMG One hypercar was already here. The delayed halo project was supposed to arrive right around now, but, well, it's not here yet. AMG engineers didn't shove it in the back seat, though.
"The Project One is the highest priority for us at AMG," Michael Knöller, AMG's global head of sales and project management, told Car and Driver during the Los Angeles auto show last week. "We have reached the tipping point, and now we are back on track."
Being back on track means that AMG engineers have made progress on adapting the 1000-hp F1-derived plug-in-hybrid drivetrain for street use, quieting the "very complicated exhaust system," and making sure the engine can pass emissions requirements. AMG invited all of the 275 customers who preordered the vehicle to Germany to explain what the status was with overcoming these challenges. These forced-to-be-patient buyers were also told the AMG One, which Mercedes claims will have a top speed of 217 mph and a zero-to-124-mph time of under six seconds is now due in early 2021.
The AMG One is just one of many vehicles AMG is working on that has an electrified powertrain. "The gut feeling I have when I walk through our development facility is that electrification is on everybody's mind," Knöller said. The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door coupe, for example, will be available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain when it arrives at the end of 2020.
"[Customers] will love that car because of the performance values," he said. "The acceleration will be stunning for the customer because it's really the next level when you drive the V-8 and then you go with the V-8 plug-in version. That's a big step. I'm convinced people will love the car because they get more boost, more power, more torque, and it's a great package."
Keeping AMG's focus on performance means that AMG drivers are often willing to at least dip their toes into the electric world, Knöller said.
"We have a very loyal fan base," he said. "They've been driving AMG for years, and it's easy to convince them, bring them the cars and have them go for a test drive so they feel the DNA of an electrified AMG and feel that they're, at a minimum, as good as AMG vehicles today, or even better. What stays the same is the pure performance orientation of our powertrains. At the end of the day, when you have the AMG badge on the trunk, it's a clear statement."
