VIDEO: AMG One Nurburgring Lap Ride Along
Ever wondered what it’s like to ride shotgun in the world’s fastest street-legal car?
Onboard video lets you ride along in the Mercedes-AMG One as Maro Engel shatters his own Nurburgring lap record. Clocking in at a blistering 6 minutes and 29.09 seconds on the 12.92-mile layout, Engel guides the hybrid hypercar through the Green Hell, using every bit of the car's 1,049 horsepower to rocket across the thin asphalt ribbon.
It's mind-bending speed for a road car, the amount of commitment from the driver, and the poise of the machine are absolute. Check out the active aero on the fender vents opening and closing, alternating between maximizing grip and making the car as slippery as possible down the straights.
The AMG One also delivers a unique hybrid sound, alternating between electric whirs and ferocious exhaust notes; meanwhile, you can hear the car's front splitter scrapping in numerous braking zones and uphill corner entries. It's quite the soundtrack.
