The automaker claims a damp and dirty track posed serious risk to the extreme performance limitations of the Mercedes-AMG One car, and the group had less than an hour on the day to get only four laps in total. Two cars were shipped to the 'Ring, both inspected to ensure they were in"production" form by track officials and inspectors from TÜV Rheinland, along with certification of the cars and ultimate recorded times by a notary.
Mercedes says the record-setting One was"technically" equipped with everything available on the car as standard from production, including a suite of Formula 1 inspired technologies. The car's hybrid powertrain pairs four electric motors powered by a small battery with a racing-inspired, high-revving turbocharged 1.6-liter combustion engine totaling an output of 1,063 horsepower sent to all four wheels, with a claimed top speed of 218 mph.
